Subaru Outback

Strong fuel economy and a low depreciation rate were the key factors as the Subaru Outback Wagon won its first Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award.  The Outback’s strengths were evident regardless of the annual mileage measured, although the Volkswagen Passat wagon also did well in this wagon segment.
