Nah. My 2015 6-cylinder is 256 hp and 247 ft-lbs. it’s an appliance. A freakin Camry 6-cylinder is a 6 second car. That’s the definitive appliance car. Even the base engine is in the low 7s.

That's a pretty severe definition of an appliance car.

Sorry. Still an appliance. Handles like a refrigerator on wheels. We have a 2018 3.6R. It’s a fantastic camping vehicle and pleasant enough to drive.

I drove a Hertz Chrysler Voyager (totally stripped Pacifica minivan) from New England to Colorado a month ago. That was indeed a refrigerator on wheels. My 2015 3.6R is somewhat better than that. Still in the appliance part of the spectrum, though. It's certainly practical for my application. With Nokians, it's a very good ski car. It can pull my boat 2 miles a couple times per year. It's fine at Home Depot/Lowes garden center duty. It hauls yard debris to the town brush dump. I rent U Hauls occasionally. It will tow an enclosed 5x8 just fine. It hauls chopped up trees to the town dump in a rental 6x12 open trailer. Occasionally, I have four full size adults in it. All summer, it has beach chairs and an umbrella in the back. My first body-on-frame SUV was 1986. I've always owned an appliance car. This is the smallest, cheapest one that would do the job.
Thanks for the reply!! I live at 6000' and routinely go up to 10,000'. I thought the base Outback engine felt a little sluggish compared to my CR-V but that may be the CVT transmission, I don't know. The turbo/CVT combination felt a little "jerky" to me on a test drive around town, maybe it would just take a little getting used to.
Like you, we find the seats very comfortable. The Ascent is even better, but is bigger than what we want.
There’s no comparison. You’re comparing a bicycle to a motorcycle. There’s a huge difference. I would not have have bought my Outback if it didn’t have the turbo. (Test drove both)
