Editors' rating: 8.2
The good: The 2008 Subaru Outback XT Limited features an elegant cabin with plenty of interior technologies, including touch-screen GPS navigation and an impressive audio system. Its SI Drive system gives drivers a useful choice between performance and fuel economy.
The bad: The Outback's stereo has no integration with the in-dash LCD screen, a lapse that limits digital-audio tag information. Subaru's lack of hands-free Bluetooth is a continuing annoyance.
The bottom line: The 2008 Subaru Outback XT is a good all-around package, combining useful cabin tech with decent performance and admirable fuel economy from its advanced engine management system.
