Have owned 4 outback. 2.5 turbo was the best until it swallowed a valve on #1 cylinder. Our turbo was good as we drove it like the sales man said," Drive it like you stole the car, but be sure to cool the turbo down". Both Crosscheck & Outback lack that GO. Maybe 2.4 turbo doesn't eat valves. They both need that extra go hopefully without premium gas. Better milage on Outbact to meet the Crosstrek milage would help sales too. I realize that is a tall order, but when your on top you need better Engineers.
