The outback xt, on the other hand, is a really heavy tribeca chassis with wrx engine and legacy trans bolted to it.
IIRC the OBXT is actually heavier than a FXT in the 05-08 model years. OBXT actually rides smoother/softer

I think the 09+ boxes are a little bit better than the previous years.
And really, when I say suck I mean mostly the performance aspect. They shift at the stupidest times, they can't hold more than about 300tq, etc. For regular putt-putting around they're probably just fine.
I know it's a ton of fun when the torque converter multiplies the torque as the turbo is creating it, feels really cool.

The terrible shift points disappear. The fact that it's still an auto is still blatantly obvious, and no it's nowhere near as cool as a 335i or even the vw DCT, it still shifts like your typical slushbox.
I think the newer ones are programmable with tuning, so you can make them a bit snappier, but again, this is still your run of the mill slushbox, not a fancy dual clutch or anything.
