Overview & Reviews

Subaru has expanded the availability of its new 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine to the Outback sedan. The result is two additional sedan trim levels: 3.0-H6 and 3.0-H6 VDC. Minor upgrades to all trim levels this year include a dome light off-delay, an ignition switch illumination ring and wood grain-patterned door switch trim. Cars with the Vehicle Dynamics Control system now have a button to turn the system off, and sedans receive an internal trunk release. The automatic climate control system is upgraded with an air filtration system.

• The security of all-wheel drive, comfortable on pavement, capable on dirt, well-appointed interior.

• Not as capable as an SUV in terms of pure off-road capability, upscale models are expensive.

  Each generation of Outbacks Improves. - 2002 Subaru Outback
  By trzeszkowski - April 29 - 10:00 am

  this is my 3rd Outback since 1997. The second one developed transm problems and traded it in for the six cylinder. I love the six even more. Minor inprovements show that some one is always testing and thinking.

  2002 Outback Wagon - 2002 Subaru Outback
  By Jim - January 26 - 8:53 am

  After twenty-six months, this wagon is as much fun to drive as it was when purchased. It is comfortable, economical to operate, and handles wellin any weather and on any surface. Cruising at highway speeds all day is noproblem, but it really stands out duringa major snow storm. We look forward to many more years with this vehicle and will very likely belooking for another Outback Wagon when its time to trade.

  Our 5th Subaru - 2002 Subaru Outback
  By CMartin - December 19 - 2:00 am

  I love my Black & Gold 3.0 AWD Outback Sedan! Its fun to drive, and handles EXTREMELY well in snow and rain. Its the most comfortable car Ive ever driven for long trips. 600-700 miles in a day, and I still feel great at the end of the days drive. I have only one complaint that my Service Department has no answer -- the heating/cooling system. Seems theres no happy medium for it. Hopefully Subaru will come up with a fix soon! Weve been a Subaru family for a long time. I drove a 2000 Outback Sedan before getting the 2002, with the bigger engine. Glad I made the upgrade, except -- give me my old air conditioner/heater!!!

  By Hiker Girl - May 11 - 10:00 am

  This is one incredible car/suv/staion wagon. Whatever you want, it is. It very luxurious, stylish, and fun to drive. Dependability and reliability are key, and this car has it all. Im surprised everyone doesnt have this vehicle.

  Subaru Outback Wagon - 2002 Subaru Outback
  By lovefishing - March 30 - 10:00 am

  The Outback is a very reliable and "sensible" vehicle. Third Subaru I have owned - also own(ed) Ford, Isuzu, and GM vehicles. Personally, the AWD and ABS have come in very handy on all of my Subarus, including this most recent purchase. Have avoided several bad situations because the AWD and ABS prevented the accident (this seems more important than how many air bags a vehicle has).
