In reply to SilverFleet:
Yeah, I know. The thing is, I was looking for a people hauler, not a sports car, since I already have that covered. I just expected better from the Subie.
So now I'm happy in a Mazda MPV-ES, which outperforms the Outback in every way.
One of these days, I'd like to drive a Subaru with forced induction since I hear a lot of people saying nice things about them. Unfortunately, until I do, I will think of Subaru's as very quirky, unappealing cars.

Sorry you chose the wrong car to start your Subaru relationship. You didn't test drive it before you bought it though? Or do any internet research? It didn't take much reading for me to know a Legacy Outback is the completely wrong platform for any kind of fun. "Quirky, unappealing"? My history with them says quirky yes, unappealing...hardly.
Better tires, lower springs and a sway bar or two is all you need to make any of them decent cars.
I'm not a fan either. Everybody I know that has owned a Subaru is driving something else now. The only exception being the rally guys, but even a number of them told me, the cars are awesome (for rally), but they're falling apart before my eyes.
wow, mpv to a legacy outback. minivan to small car-based suv. Talk about apples to oranges. ;p
and i have 140k on my wrx, seems to be holding up fine...

Calling the Outback an SUV is a bit of a stretch. More of a wagon, and in that regard, not so different from a small minivan.
Sure, I made a bad choice in buying the Outback, but based on what I'd heard about Subaru, I wasn't prepared to be THAT disappointed.
I'll shut up now, and let us get back on topic.
I'll just leave these here....
