If you think you might want to leave the pavement a little when you get where you're going, the Outback is the one to take. It's no Jeep Wrangler, but with its extra body clearance and all-wheel-drive it's ready for some occasional rough stuff. Plus, the Outback is surprisingly fun to drive on the road, and the new version has more room inside than ever.
