1997 Subaru Outback Limited: owner review

As a touring car, the Outback has sufficient ground clearance for most places that aren’t accessed by a 4WD track, and enough power to handle all terrain ‘as advertised on the box’. Being a wagon, it has good visibility and sufficient room for four people. It’s certainly not a rocket-ship, relative to a WRX of the time and cars of today, but it compensates with reasonable fuel economy and a comfortable ride.
