Car Profiles - Subaru Outback

SUBARU OUTBACK

Now that the Volvo XC70 hit the graveyard, the Outback remains a niche of itself. A wagon having all wheel drive and raised as an SUV without its height is a perfect idea for everyday driving. Price is high though, same goes with its fuel consumption.

The Good: Interior flexibility
The Bad: Poor fuel economy

Price Range: P2,298,000
