Westward bound Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hello all. I picked up an Outback SX Lineartronic from Simpsons, Swindon yesterday. Delighted with it so far; did about 80 miles today on country roads in heavy rain and through lots of surface water and already feel more comfortable and confident in it than my last car. Looking forward to finding more out about it in the next few weeks from other owners, and from the (huge) owners manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th4neuk Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Going through the same thing with mine as this is my first Subaru. Love the outback we've got and it does feel planted. Interested to see how it copes with a bit of mud though lol Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On decent winter tyres they will virtually climb walls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have an XV which is the Ourback's baby brother, they fit Yokohama Geolandars and they're pretty good in mud, gravel and snow. They're called an all season tyre but it's basically what used to be a town and country tyre. You should be ok on a bit if mud, not necessarily bog snorkelling though Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
