We've driven Subaru's new Outback in diesel automatic form abroad; now it's time to see how the entry-level manual equivalent handles UK roads Subaru's Outback has never sold in huge numbers here in the UK - indeed, to city-dwellers, they're automotive hens' teeth. But leave the lights behind and travel to pastures greener, and you'd be hard pushed not to see an Outback hauling a horse box or parked outside the Fox and Hounds splattered with mud.It's largely this country set who keep the Outback name alive in the UK, but Subaru hopes the interest in it will expand further in 2015. Changes to the Outback's styling, infotainment, interior quality and chassis dynamics are the reasons for that.Gone are the days of the cripplingly weak Japanese Yen, too, so the Outback is now more competitively priced against rival off-road estates than ever. Skoda's Superb Outdoor and Octavia Scout are within reach, while Volvo's XC70 is actually more expensive than the manual diesel Outback we're driving here on UK roads.
