Pix of my new Outback XT- 56K- run and hide away.

[Guest *Jedimaster*]

OK- so here's the new Jedi mobile. I took a bunch of pix and it wasn't cleaned up or anything, but I'm gonna pic whore them out anyway: [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-001.JPG[/img] [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-002.JPG[/img] [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-003.JPG[/img] [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-004.JPG[/img] [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-005.JPG[/img] Here's a shot of the interior- Gotta love those electroluminescent gauges, stolen from the STi ;) [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-006.JPG[/img] The back seat has plenty of room even with the driver's seat all the way back like I have it normally. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-007.JPG[/img] The interior is really first rate- in my experience, this car has an incredible interior. Don't mind the paper floor mats the dealer left in there- I've only had the car a day and haven't gotten things all cleaned out yet. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-008.JPG[/img] The moonroof is huge! It's also very quiet with the glass closed and for a giant hole in the roof, fairly quiet with it open as well. Now if it would only stop raining long enough for me to really enjoy it.... [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-009.JPG[/img] Plenty of cargo space with the seats up and about double with them down. This will make trips to Home Depot sooo much easier. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-010.JPG[/img] The leather seats are nicely bolstered and the 8 way power adjustable controls (4 way for passenger side) make finding a comfortable position a snap. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-011.JPG[/img] The belly of the beast- with 2.5 liters of displacement, you'd never guess this car only had 4 cylinders even when off boost. The VF40 seems to kick in around 2500 RPM's and makes it seem like someone put another engine under the hood. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-012.JPG[/img] One last shot- I know it sounds cheesy, but I really like the plastic engine cover. It kind of tidies things up underhood and makes it look neat. [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/OUTBACK-2.5-XT-013.JPG[/img]

Me likey! VERY nice. It almost makes me think I shoulda got an OBXT... almost. Good color choice, too. I noticed that you don't have a sunroof wind deflector. If you notice the noise with the sunroof open is too much, try the wind deflector. My wife's van does not have one and the sunroof is annoyingly loud when open so we don't open the sunroof much. My GT, however, does have the deflector and I can drive up to 70 MPH without any enormous roaring above my head with the sunroof open. Just a thought. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL :D You're gonna love it. Take it for a looong ride and be careful on the highway. Try accelerating lightly in 5th on the highway, you'll be pleasantly surprised with how much power it has in the "economy" gear. Enjoy!

Weak exhaust tips! :lol: Nice car. Can't wait for mine! Sat.......

Actually, on the wagon models, the front of the sunroof flips up and acts as a deflector, which is probably why it's so quiet.
