2004 Subaru Outback Wagon Review:

The formidable Outback in its wagon body style can be said to be the most popular Subaru model on the road today. It combines the cargo-carrying advantage of a larger frame, standard all-wheel drive, numerous safety features and a nice, reasonable price. With attributes like that, it’s no wonder the model is so successful.

35 years ago, Subaru jumped over the ocean and brought its game to America. Now, as they continue to ascend the mountain of popularity, they are poised to celebrate their longevity. 2004 Outback wagons can be had as special 35th Anniversary Edition models, complete with a unique set of standard features.

The 35th Anniversary Edition, like most Subaru models, doesn’t go overboard with its package. That would be very un-Subaru-like. Instead, it starts off with the design of midlevel models and adds automatic climate control, an interior air filter and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Under the Hood

Base Outback wagon models use a 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine. It produces 165 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 166 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, it gives the wagon a fuel rating of 22/28 mpg (city/highway), while 5-speed manual models get a 21/28-mpg rating.

L.L. Bean and VDC trims, which form the upper echelon of 2004 Outbacks, use a 3.0-liter, horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine that generates 212 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 210 lb-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission. It results in a fuel economy of 19/26 mpg (city/highway).

The body of the Subaru Outback is a unitized construction with both front and rear crumple zones. Up to 77 percent of the body sheet metal is two-sided galvanized.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

Outback wagons give you added space to store and transport more goods. The four-door model can seat up to five adults, all the while providing 66.8 cubic feet of cargo volume.

Midlevel Limited models have a nicely rounded standard features list that includes leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual power sunroofs and an in-dash 6-disc CD changer.

An optional Rough Road Group outfits the 2004 Outback wagon with a little extra in the way of ruggedness. It includes a hood protector, a rear rust deflector and a rear-differential protector.
