We have rented an Outback wagon on two occasions, and I agree with your assessment. Some people complain that the 4 cylinder 9-5 has a rough idle (at stoplights with the transmission in drive). Our 9-5's were/are both manuals, and they are nice and smooth at idle. The Subaru, however, was quite rough idling at stoplights, which got pretty annoying after a while. I'm not that crazy about the frameless glass on the Subaru, and the seats, as you note, can't compare. The only real plus for the Outback, other than a lower price, of course, is all wheel drive and more ground clearance, which is helpful in deeper snow or unimproved roads. But then, we have a truck for that.
Enjoy the 9-5. It's a great car.
John
