Compared with the old 1994 Honda Accord EX wagon.

Slammed wagons ftw.

And my quick driving impressions are it's an awesome upgrade for my dad. I just love how it soaks up all the bumps and potholes of the road. Also the "higher" seating position is nice compared to the Accord which was pretty low. And the Outback interior FTW, blows the 9-2X right out of the water. Dollar for dollar, I think the 2009 Outback offers a lot more for the money than my 2005 9-2X does when comparing brand new pricing of both.

I agree that the Outback heavy-duty suspension does a fine job of absorbing potholes and bumps on the road.

 

Went from a Legacy wagon to Outback wagon...and have been impressed with the suspension improvement. Before I would winch going over potholes and hope nothing broke...now I can feel confident and not sweat it.

I seriously considered the Seacrest. However prefer that old dark green used on the older Legacy Outbacks. Seen a few around and wish they still made that color available.

Yes exactly. Although I prefer the single color instead of the two-tone. I like Subaru's choice to roll-out the Bronze though. Very few automakers use Bronze. Only seen Infiniti FX's and a couple other models in that color.

The grill is the biggest minus, but it grows on you after a while. As of yet, no aftermarket grills are available.

 

Re: rear bumper...the vinyl/rubber top is better for moving heavy cargo - so you won't scratch the paint if you use the OB as a truck frequently.

So the older grilles aren't interchangeable?

 

I actually don't mind it so much. It's just going to be difficult to fit a pair of Hella500's behind it.

No, judging by some of the photos I've seen of older Outback's...the 2009 grill is much larger.

 

2005-2007 OB's have a different grill - there are a few aftermarket options for these years.

 

2008+ have the new grill...which is fugly in my opinion.

What mod?

 

I like the bigger front end compared to the older cars, personally.
