What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Subaru Outback

2006 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
2007	4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seat back a bit low for 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Too small for kids see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Too short! I am 6ft tall and the front passenger seat leaves me feeling very cramped. Drivers position is better. Seats also too narrow. Maybe plenty of room for skinny folks, but not for us folks that are large boned :-) see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	The Outback is much smaller (but not cheaper) than the XC70. see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	very tight and narrow rear seat room. feels much bumpier in the rear seat than the front seat. see full Subaru Outback review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2006 Subaru Outback

2006 Subaru Outback Powertrain: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The O7 XT is equiped with a turbo charger,the engine response is smooth. The engine has more than enough power for the size of the car. Compared to an Audi A4 or an Audi Allroad the power is greater than or equal to those cars. see full Subaru Outback review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	All wheel drive and ground clearance are nice to have for bad weather or trying to get to a remote location. You wouldn't confuse it for a sports car, but it gets up and down the canyon very nicely, too. see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	AWD. see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	All wheel drive is outstanding for Minnesota winters see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon 250-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3-litre 6-cylinder engine provides ample performance in all conditions, is unbelievably smooth and quite (unlike a 2.5L 4-cylinder). Best Subaru mill in ages. Sealed-for-life timing chain means no expensive T-belt swap job every 60-100 kmiles. see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I love the fact that I can have an Outback wagon with sports car performance see full Subaru Outback review
