We have our 2.5 limited on order, no VON yet. I want to make sure I really don't "need" to drop another $2750 on the 3.6.
I've always tried to get the powerful motor in past cars as I'm quite a gearhead. I've had '04 STI (300hp), '12 Shelby GT500 (600+hp) but this car will be my wife's commuter and the family buggy when we travel with the kids. We did test drive the 2.5 and of course to me it's SLOW, but it gets the job done. She wants the high MPG though. We sold a Touareg TDI (406ft/lbs of torque) and trading in her turbo mini cooper S for the outback, I want to make sure we'll be happy with it for next decade.
I guess I could always get a fast car someday... (I drive a gas F250 4x4).
