2003 Subaru Outback Sedan
The 2003 Subaru Outback is an SUV flavored line of cars that
offers versatility, ruggedness and luxury fittings.
The top dog in the Subaru line, Outback offers more
than any other Subaru model, whether you are looking
for power, performance capability, off-road design pedigree
or sophisticated internal electronics for comfort and
safety.
Subaru has made the Outback a versatile offering with nine
different all-wheel drive 4-door models: one hatchback,
four wagons, three sedans and one passenger car/SUV/pick-up
crossover—theBaha. The three wagons that will be described
here have the a couple of different engine choices,
various interior amenity trim levels and an assortment
of performance technologies, including Subaru’s Vehicle
Dynamics Control (VDC) system.
The Outback Sedan line includes the Ltd Sedan, the H6-3.0 Sedan,
the top-level VDC Sedan and new this year, the oddballBaha.
Under the Hood
The base Outback has a smaller engine than the other two. This
2.5-litersohc 4cyl produces 165hp at 5600rpm and 166lb-ft
of torque at 4000rpm. It is the same engine that is
found in the Subaru Outback Sedan line but this car enjoys
the raised suspension and the limited-slip differential
that is common throughout the Outback series.
On the other two sedans, the Outback is equipped with the most
powerful engine offering in the Subaru stable. This
3.0-liter V6, namesake of the H6-3.0 model, produces
212hp at 6000rpm and 210lb-ft of torque at 4000. It
engine comes with either a 5-speed manual transmission
or a 4-speed automatic transmission with Subaru’sSportshift
feature.
The top-level models, the VDC andBaha editions, have a number
of additional performance enhancements including traction
control, antiskid and, like the top-level Outback Sedan models,
a Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) system. The Outback
models get from 19 to 26mpg (city/hwy).
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The Outback is the top of the Subaru line so it is not surprising
that they enjoy the highest level of basic amenities.
Leather upholstery, for example, is standard on even
the Limited edition. Front-side airbags arte also in
place at this level, along with the normal assortment
of fittings that one would expect, that is, air conditioning,
cruise control, power everything, keyless entry and
so on.
The next level up, the H6-3.0 adds theOnStar communications
system, automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver
seat and an audio system upgrade that includes theweatherband
radio. At the top, the VDC level, a McIntosh audio system
is added that combines with the performance upgrades,
for real value. TheBaha adds a small pick-up truck bed
instead of a trunk. This model is also distinguished
by sporty off-road styling and has a variety of applications,
in terms of carrying capacity than the regular sedan
models.
