I just got the Outback Sport in May, and am extremely happy! It is very peppy, and more comfortable than I had expected. Gas milage is good, but not as good as my Corolla. I have NEVER felt so secure driving in a rainstorm as in the Sport. The cup holders leave a bit to be desired- poorly placed (1 in front of the a/c vent & 1 IN the armrest console!), but at least this model has them! (we looked at a used 1997 that had NO cupholders). The cargo space is ample-especially considering the overall size of the car. With the back seats folded down, we were able to fit our huge crate for our greyhound in! Overall, I highly recommend this car!
