WRX Crossover? Family SUV gets the Subaru turbo treatment! 2023 Subaru Outback XT review

For some of us, spending $5000 more to get a more powerful engine makes sense. For others, it doesn't.

You're going to have to decide which camp you fall into, but the Subaru Outback XT turbo models are going to set you back $5000 more if you want them. And there's nothing different in terms of specification, so you're just spending a holiday's worth of cash for some power and torque.

You'll see -- I did the $/Nm calculations in the review -- but there is more to it in terms of ownership costs. The turbo is a guts when it comes to fuel consumption, but amazingly is a little more affordable to maintain when it comes to servicing.

So, which will it be? Tell me your thoughts in the comments!
