Let me tell you guys. Me and my wife got our first subaru Outback Limited in 96. We Loved it, they just came out with the 2.5L then so we were lucky. In 2000 I was itching for something sportier but safe soo I bought the Sedan Outback Limited, this time loaded. I loved it. Handles like a European car and hums past cars at 85. Well we got pregnant and we needed the wagon back so the LL Bean Outback was my choice, LOADED. Man does it rock. The suspension is softer, but I like it. It is such a smooth ride. 3K rpm going at 85, with the 2.5L you'd be pulling 3.5k rpm. The engine has less vibration too. What a great design, getting 212 hp and 27 mpg on the highway. I love it and still breaking her in.
 
By the way, to answer someones question about squeeking brakes. Yes in my 2000 sedan I noticed squeeking on the first few brakes, but not all the time. Don't have an answer, but it did it on that one only, so far.
 
I love the way Subaru's AWD system handles the road. I was driving in white out conditions during the last snow storm and was doing 35-45 mph, easy with very little sliding or pulling. I feel very safe in the Wagon more than the sedan. Probably because it feels bigger. In the rain I forget about hydroplanning because this car car handle it. I love to drive fast and push the limits. I give the Outback series my vote for the best bang for your buck.

Is he kidding?
 
"Contrast that with the elegance of a Volvo XC"
 
Look at the XC's interior - 7 mismatched colors. Black, grey, brown, tan, fake wood (which he puts down in the Subaru), fake aluminum, etc.
 
Ridiculous to say the least.

Agreed. They call blue "Slate".
 
But the brown is even worse. I can't even say what that looks like!
