ValueDespite its odd twin-screen setup and key barrel ignition, the base Convenience is a compelling deal at only $36,563, heated steering and other goodies baked in, but the Touring nails the value equation for an extra $4,300 (big screen, power hatch, dual zone auto HVAC, sunroof, etc.). Higher up, only $700 splits the difference between this Onyx and a Limited, and I would splurge here to get the real Leather and those regal thrones up front. The turbo editions are dearer and can ring the register up to $50k. But compare this with the premium brand wagons and even mainstream compact SUVs and the Outback is one heck of a bargain. It's even good on gas, my weekly avg being 9,6 l/100 km on snow tires in urban conditions (stop-start activated for 17 minutes during my loan).
