I liked the old Outback. I’m not entirely sold on the new one. But Subaru’s all-electric Trailseeker—with 375 horsepower and room for the dog—has me rethinking my prejudice against EVs.
The Outback has grown up, bulked out, and stopped pretending it’s just a wagon with good intentions.
Subaru’s little trail warrior takes the sensible Forester and adds mud, rocks, and just enough attitude to make you care.
Almost three decades ago, Subaru took a Legacy wagon, jacked up the suspension, slapped on some cladding, and invented a vehicle class no one knew they needed.
I don’t live too far from a place here in Florida called “The Villages” a community reserved for residents who are 55 and older.
Just a few weeks ago I was driving along Big Tujunga Canyon Road eventually ending up on the Angeles Crest highway in Southern California.
I admit to having been a Subaru fan for almost time immortal.
There was a time in my life when I loved spending weeks in the wilderness will little more than a poncho, and a hammock that rolled up into something the size of a softball.
