Hi there just wanted to share a quick run down on realistic figures . This is my 4th Suby. ( Leone beach buggy, Leone wagon, 250T and currently a facelift 2006 outback 3.0r 5 speed auto with si drive and absolutely love it. It's done 275ks and still runs like a dream. On a long trip its excellent I'm getting 8.3L/100k ( about 750ks to a tank ) Round town its about 12... I leave it in sports mode . Sports sharp is to aggresive and holds gears to long . Intelligence mode dulls the power and offers no fuel economy gain on the open road. Has decent low down torque but doesnt really wake up till about 3k then pulls hard all the way to 7k much like a turbo lol. Always ran on e10 98 gull. Only down fall is the trans thumps into 3rd when downshifting at 80+kmh while going downhill ( off the throttle) No issues while on the gas
Oiled panel filter makes a little difference just be sure to clean the maf every service
