thoughts on this:
my dad has a 3.6 Legacy Outback, but it's basically knackered now and he wants to replace it with something which has the same combination of:
engine with torque and poke
auto
4WD, somewhat raised ride height desirable but not necessarily essential
estate body
budget £10-£15k for maybe a 5 year old car [edit - having had a quick trawl through autotrader, I can see that used car prices are even more nuts than I thought they were so this budget and age may not be realistic].
The new Outback has the 2.5l flat 4 which s fairly anaemic at 169PS, so that's not an option. What else is out there? AMG / M levels of performance is not what's required, I'd guess in the region of 250BHP would be ideal.
