I wouldnt want a 2WD version of the outback. It's saved my butt many times. I just had to help get my grandmothers minivan out of the beach last week and mine didnt have a problem, even with the tires at 51 psi.
I know I should get rid of the roof rack, but its a real hassle to and I do use it about once a month. I try not to drive the car unless I need it, so I walk or bike most places. But when I need to pick up drywall or anything that comes in 4X8 (doesen't everything?) its the only place I can put it.
Honestly, I think its the gearing thats limiting me. 2750 rpm at 65 mph is a bit much. The new outbacks have a CVT and are EPA rated at 29, even though they're bigger than mine (thats rated at 25)
I wonder how hard it would be to put a modern CVT in (:
