Thanks to the AWD system, the Subaru is surefooted on both dry and wet roads. With responsive handling, a choice of a flat-four or flat-six engine and a well-appointed interior, the Subaru Outback is one of our preferred crossover vehicles. 2011 Subaru Outback will outrun the competition when the pavement disappears because it’s actually a tall, nimble car rather than a bulky, overweight truck. Outback in terms of versatility, but this rugged wagon is still certainly worth considering in a tough segment Subaru pioneered.
