The most boring car in known universe - 2005 Subaru Outback
By andysomogyi - October 1 - 11:49 pmI detest this car. Slow, gutless, handles like a barge and the gas milage is pitiful. Only reason I bought this pile of junk is that friend of mine wanted to get rid of it, and it was cheap. It has one of the worst transmissions Ive ever driven, now I hate automatics, but this one is particularly bad. The gear ratios is bizarre, shifts are slow and sloppy, and 4th is way too low. This is one of the worst handling cars Ive ever driven, body roll is about as bad as a mid 70s Buick. Engine is truly gutless, and whats worse is given how pathetically slow this car is, the gas milage is even worse. I avg 15 city, and even with the most careful driving, best I can get is about 25 highway
