The Subaru Outback is actually a wagon version of the hulky Legacy sedan. In fact, they share the same engines, a 2.5L flat-4 and a 3.6-L flat-6. The Outback also inherits the same three transmissions. A 6-speed manual gearbox comes factory standard, while the 5-speed automatic and CVT are also available.
