Oldacura Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I don't own a Subaru but am considering buying an Outback. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the turbo and non-turbo 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder? The horsepower & torque of the turbo & 6 are about the same. What kind of fuel economy does each deliver (aside from the EPA ratings)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 A lot depends on your driving style. If you are a lead foot, the turbo will probably get slightly worse mileage. Obviously the n/a 4 cylinder is going to get the best gas mileage. Personally, I'd get the turbo 4 cyl. I don't think the extra cost of the 6-cyl warrants the cost. Best advice I can give you is go to your local subaru dealer and drive all three. Check out http://www.legacygt.com/ There's probably some turbo Outback owners on there that can give a ball park of their mileage. If not, the GT owners should be able to give you some feedback on their mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
