Subaru Outback 2.5i 4D Wagon

Three finalists made the cut in this segment, but it wasn’t a surprise when the Subaru Outback earned Vincentric’s Best Fleet Value in America for the second year in a row. The Outback’s strengths were in holding periods of 3, 4, or 5 years….resulting in the lowest lifecycle costs in eight of the twelve scenarios. Other finalists were the Volvo V50 with best costs in 3 scenarios, while the Dodge Magnum was best in one scenario.
