2007 Subaru Outback Review
These SUV-flavored sedans and wagons have all-wheel drive and horizontally opposed engines. Outbacks share their basic design with Subaru's midsize Legacy, but have a slightly raised suspension. Outbacks come in 2.5i, 2.5 XT, and 3.0 R L.L. Bean trim. The 2.5i models have a 175-hp 4-cyl engine. XTs have a 243-hp turbocharged 4-cyl and the 3.0 R has a 245-hp 6-cyl. Manual transmission is standard on 4-cyl models. Automatic transmission is standard on 3.0 Rs, optional on other Outbacks. ABS, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags are standard. An antiskid system is standard on XT and 3.0 R, unavailable otherwise. All have a 60/40 split folding reart seatback. Remote engine start is newly available for automatic-transmission versions.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.

Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mercury Milan, and Saturn Aura.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Saturn Aura.
News
Though recently redesigned, the Legacy/Outback line will eventually get the signature Subaru face introduced with the B9 Tribeca SUV and now the Impreza passenger cars. Apart from that and the usual features shuffling, these cars should mark time for the next couple of years.
