Lumbar support in Forester and Outback
Answered by Paul Gover · 13 July 2015
A well-designed seat should not need extra lumbar adjustment. I've spent the past week in an Outback and found the seats excellent in their shape, support and padding.
Outback vs A6 vs CX-3?
Answered by Paul Gover · 24 May 2015
That's an interesting group. All three are good, but I'd say the CX-3 is too small and the A6 is too costly, leaving the Outback for family duties.
New lifestyle car with roof racks
Answered by Paul Gover · 11 May 2015
There are dozens of boxy SUVs but if you already have an all-wheel drive wagon then I'd recommend the Subaru Outback. It's the bigger brother to the Forester, close in size to your Volvo, but cheaper to run.
Outback towing capacity?
Answered by Paul Gover · 4 January 2015
Subaru Australia spokesman David Rowley says: "The tow ratings are set in cooperation with the factory to meet Australian standards, including for the down load rating. The current ratings do not preclude revisions in future model years as technical refinements are always ongoing, but there is no time frame for any possible change, especially given that the new models are only now being introduced."
