I think most would agree, the Outback (or for something way sexier, the Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT) is a rather reliable car. Most likely it's going to require less than any Volvo. My old Volvos, all 7 of them never seemed to be the definition of 'reliable'.
However, the door clunk thing is pretty unsatisfying in the Suby. Those rimless doors make for a rattley, tinny audio, I think.
Try it out, seek a GT for comparison. It' has lower suspension and less decorative plastic 'suv' add ons.
The Forester in UK car mags is universally adored, especially the hotter model, whatever it's called here.
