Subaru’s FB25 engine is a workhorse and is meant to be the dependable core of practical all-wheel drive cars like the Outback or Legacy. It seems capable of shrugging off all situations and job requirements and dealing with bad weather or big mileage requests in its stride. In fact, the FB25 has been a core part of the Legacy and Outback lineup for the longest time, including the revised 175-hp version that featured in the 2015 redesign or the later 182-hp direct injection version in the newer-gen Outback.
