We are thinking about buying a camper and need something that can pull it. Right now, our 6cyl OB will only pull a tiny camper. As far as our Outback itself, we travel quite a bit, just came back from an 8500 mile road trip. The Outback is comfortable and has plenty of cargo room. With the 8.7 in ground clearance I have taken it off road and it performs nicely.
The major problem with not getting an OB or larger is my wife. She's kind of small (4' 10") and doesn't like to drive bigger vehicle. We only have the new Legacy since Jan 2nd and she still hasn't driven it. She prefers her Impreza.
BTW, Before our 1st Suby, a 2002 Impreza Outback Sport, I had a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. The Impreza was far better in snow than the Jeep.
