Let me start with a disclaimer: I'm not a fan of SUVs and have never owned one. I have, however, rented one from time to time. Last summer, we spent 10 days in the mountains with a Subaru Outback, and I came away quite impressed. The newest model is much more SUV than wagon, as the older ones were. Very nice seat. Handled reasonably well, without that top-heavy feeling I've gotten in other vehicles. Reasonable acceleration, though certainly not a hot rod; but once I learned the best ways to use the paddle shifters on the steering wheel, I was able to compensate for occasions such as passing. Averaged a hair over 30 mpg for about 1200 miles of mountains and highways.
