Yes, we just put together the words "fun" and "wagon" in the headline without trying to mislead you. Our workaholic editor-in-chief Vernon B. Sarne took a day off to drive the Subaru Outback to Subic, and he came back to the office fatter refreshed.

"I realize that the Outback is both a road-carver and an off-roader disguised as a family vehicle," Vernon wrote in his magazine article, which you can read in our May 2015 issue.

Under the car's hood is a 256hp 3.6-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder gasoline engine mated to a CVT with a six-speed manual mode and paddle shifters. We'll let this video show you how this wagon makes a good road-trip vehicle. Don't forget to put the setting in HD!
