The 2003 Subaru Outback is part of the second generation of the model, renowned for its robust performance and all-weather capability. All trims offer Subaru's signature all-wheel-drive system. The Outback is powered by either a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine making 165 horsepower, or a 3.0L Boxer 6-cylinder delivering 212 horsepower, both options mated to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. For peace of mind when it comes to safety, the Outback offers dual front airbags and 4-wheel ABS. Inside, there's an available premium audio system with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer, while a dual-pane sunroof contributes to a bright, airy interior. The Outback was recognized in its time for the utility it offered with the handling and feel of a passenger car.
