Both engines are paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission, with the option of a four-wheel-drive system for enhanced traction in challenging conditions.

The 2008 Subaru Legacy Outback is known for its reliable performance, robust build quality, and impressive fuel efficiency. With its spacious interior, versatile cargo space, and advanced safety features, the Outback excels as a family-friendly vehicle that can handle both daily commutes and weekend adventures with ease. The 2008 Outback also earned a reputation for its strong off-road capability thanks to its standard ground clearance, available all-wheel drive system, and optional X-Mode system that optimizes traction control for slippery surfaces. However, the Outback's four-speed automatic transmission can feel somewhat sluggish compared to newer models with more gears, and the interior materials may not be as upscale as those found in some competitors. Despite these minor drawbacks, the 2008 Subaru Legacy Outback remains a well-rounded and capable vehicle that offers a compelling blend of practicality, comfort, and performance.
