2003 Subaru Outback Wagon
The 2003 Subaru Outback is an SUV flavored line of cars that
offers versatility, ruggedness and luxury fittings.
This is true of all Subaru models but the Outback, top
dog in the Subaru line, offers more power, performance
capability, off-road design pedigree and sophisticated
internal electronics than the rest.
The Outback is a versatile offering with nine different all-wheel
drive 4-door models but the 5-door versions will be
described here. Consumers have a choice of either 4-door
hatchback/wagon crossover, the Sport, or any of four
wagons; the Wagon, the Limited Wagon, the H6-3.0 LL.
Bean Edition or the top-level H6-3.0 VDC Wagon.
They have different levels of power or trim levels and at the
top-level, feature the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
system with its Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)feature.
Under the Hood
The Outback wagons are fitted with either of two engines. The
Sport, Wagon and Limited Wagon all feature the smaller
4-cyl 2.5-literpowerplant while the H6 L.L. Bean and
VDC models have the larger 3.0-liter V6 engine that
is shared by the top level Out back sedans.
The 2.5-litersohc 4cyl produces 165hp at 5600rpm and 166lb-ft
of torque at 4000rpm. The 3.0-liter V6, namesake of
the H6-3.0 model, produces 212hp at 6000rpm and 210lb-ft
of torque at 4000. The 4-cyl engine comes with a either
a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic
transmission with Subaru’sSportshift feature while the
3.0-liter models just come with the latter. All the
Outback models enjoy raised suspension and a limited-slip
differential.
The VDC system refers to a number of additional performance
enhancements including traction control, antiskid and,
like the top-level Legacy models, a Variable Torque
Distribution (VTD) system. Dual-front airbags and front-side
airbags are standard.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
As should be expected from a line of cars that has Crocodile
Dundee as the spokesperson, the Subaru Outback is designed
for adventurous use. Appropriately it has features that
support that use, that is, anOnStar satellite communications
system with a level of emergency coverage that you can
vary according to your needs as a driver, aweatherband
radio system, an outside temperature indicator, deicing
wipers, a compass, a sturdy roof rack, and a Class 1
trailer hitch allowing towing up to 2000lbs.
Optional add-ons mean that even more function can be added
according to the needs of the consumer.
