The 2008-2009 Subaru Legacy Outback is a versatile and capable mid-size station wagon that blends the practicality of a wagon with the ruggedness of a sport utility vehicle. Built on the same platform as the Subaru Legacy sedan, the Outback boasts a higher ground clearance, enhanced all-wheel-drive capability, and a more spacious interior, making it ideal for both daily commutes and weekend adventures. Powering the Outback is a choice of two engines: a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque, or a more potent 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine delivering 243 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, with the 6-cylinder option offering a 5-speed automatic for smoother acceleration and improved fuel economy. The 2008-2009 Subaru Legacy Outback is known for its safety features, including standard dual front airbags, side curtain airbags, and anti-lock brakes. Optional features include stability control, traction control, and a rearview camera. The interior space is comfortable and functional, with ample room for passengers and cargo. The Outback also offers a wide range of features, including a sunroof, power seats, a premium sound system, and a navigation system. While the Outback's design remained largely unchanged from its previous generation, the 2008 model year saw the addition of a revised front fascia, updated interior trims, and a few new optional features. The Outback maintained its reputation for reliability and dependability, offering a solid driving experience on both paved and unpaved roads.
