Hello,
Consumer Reports gives lots of praise to Subaru, less so to Volvo. Higher-end Outbacks are priced similarly to Volvo XC70 : low- to mid- $30Ks. It seems the Outback is more reliable than the Volvo...but besides reliability how do these compare? Which one is a better car? Subaru's great reputation in building AWD cars costing low- to mid- $20K. Is it still competive with its higher priced cars (I'm talking about turbo-charged or 6 cyl. Outbacks and turbo-charged Forester)? Also, Volvo has been manufacturing turbo-charged cars forever...but Subaru started making them relatively recently...does it matter?
Thanks, Boris
