2.5i with a manual is EPA rated at 23/30 and people here have broken 30 mpg, so that's easily the gas champ. Cheap regular fuel, too. 16.9 gallon tank even gives you the best range.
Peppiest is probably the XT.
The H6 is the smoothest.
Each has differnet character, though.

As you can see from my posts last month, I paid $27,030 for a manual 2006 Outback XT Ltd. which included cargo nets, auto-dimming mirror and floor mats. If you're within 5% for the '07 version, I think you will have done well. The dealer should be happy to make the sale and if you take a firm stance that the accessories will be included in the price or the deal dies on the table, you will be pleasantly surprised (as I was!). I'm interested to see what happens. It's a great wagon and I have no regrets with the purchase.

Well, I was ready to buy the wagon after a requisite round of negotiating but my wife has since nix'ed it. Her current car is a 2000 manual Outback with cloth seats and the XT would've replaced it. However, we have a new baby and she's afraid of spoiling a new car's leather seats with baby formula, etc. while she's comfortable messing up her existing Outback. I've since opted for doing a major service update to her Outback along with new tires and brakes for the upcoming winter. Now had the XT had been for me it most likely would've been purchased!

Leather cleans up well, and the new Outbacks do better in IIHS crash tests. Just something to balance the pros and cons, if you're trying to talk her into it.

I know it's safer, especially with VDC. But she's says let's wait a bit.

We're having twins in two weeks and I bought the XT in leather specifically for safety and easy-to-clean reasons. (Performance remained an off-balance sheet item, although my wife enjoys the "vroom" when she accelerates up on-ramps at highway speeds.) Will also be buying a Thule cargo container once overnight trips become a reality.
Of course, buying a car is a two-person decision and you're better off waiting until you both agree on the purchase.

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for the car. Was it a stick or auto. Thanks!
