2003 Subaru Outback Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 It was better than that of an SUV or truck but still has AWD and cargo capacity. Not as good as other cars, but still beats most SUVS out there. see full Subaru Outback review
