Found this in my May edition of On The Road.. Looks like I've found my next new car Love the specs I can email the original scans if any wants better quality.. just flick me an email on [email protected]

2.0l turbo diesel in an L would be awesome... imagine that, 6.4L/100km and 350Nm of torque, i'm drooling haha

Absolutely awesome torque and it would be great for towing as long as you never wanted to over take or accelerate. It is a a pity the power is only 110kw. It would be too slow for my liking. You can't complain about the mileage at all. Over 1000k's to a tank.

Have had ours since the middle of March and absolutly love it. With 90% of the first 2 tanks being done around town we are still getting over 900kms per tank. Only issue so far is a wind noise around the front windscreen which I will get looked at at the first service.

You won't be dissapointed!!

Sweet.. might drop into the local dealership and see what sort of deal they can come up with

These are deceptivley fast (once run in). On the roll the torque of the engine allows hassle free Beemer / Audi busting acceleration. The 149 BHP is actually adequate for the speed stuff / economy equation. Mine will also willingly buzz up to the red line without protest -if you prefer to drive it that way. Turbine SMMOOTTHH
My only gripe is that I for one would like a little bit more right from off the floor (maybe this feel is to do with the size / weight of the Outback - could be a better 'feeling' in this area in the Diesel Impreza???)
This engine is as close as it gets to petrol smooth.
Its not a WRX / STI - wasnt meant to be but it sure as hell holds up all the best Subaru traditions. CRACKING ENGINE!
Oh - if I could find one in a rear ended write off I would seriously consider putting it in the MV / Brumby .....Now that would be ACE.

ive seen heaps of them on the road already...seems theyre selling well.

Could this be SUBARU's next 'HERO' car ????

I can't wait for a good strong 6 speed Auto to go with it. I'll trade the 10MY Forester XT in strait away. I would also like to see one in my brumby.

Cheers
