is it just me? underwhelmed by 2025 Subaru Outback
Discussion
Coming from a 2019 Forester XT, I was disappointed by the naturally aspirated petrol engine in the last of the petrol Outbacks. I drove a Touring earlier today and while the car does everything I want, the engine noise when accelerating and the fuel economy where huge disappointments.
Am I missing something?

Don't think you're missing anything, it depends on what you're looking to get out of it.
Mines a dog carrier 95% of the time with a few forest trails some icy hills now and again. That's pretty much the use it's been built around.
I've never found it wanting, but its never going to be a patch on my old H6 Legacy or the XT for example.
It seems their focus is now very much on the E-Outback. Don't think that's hitting the UK market anytime soon though

I really like the Outback but haven't driven one yet. Is the 2.5 na engine really slow?
Being used to the torque of turbo diesels I'm afraid I will find it underwhelming but having said that I'm not a boy racer anymore and the performance may be adequate?
The 4x4 ability is important and I don't do huge miles so the economy would be bearable.
