2009 Outback owner... 215,000 and counting, 100mi per day commuter, weekend workhorse. I no longer drive to bike and mostly bike from the front door but I could fit my 65cm Clem H with rear seats folded, front wheel removed, front passenger seat all the way forward. I'm 6'5" and driver seat is all the way back/down and maxed out in every direction. The monster Clem really only fits one particular way and only had to do it a handful of times but anything smaller fits with ease and some of my much shorter wife's bikes fit complete with ease. 2009 was the last model year of that generation(4th?) My understanding is the newer are even larger but not sure if that's overall or only cabin space? Rear seat is barely a useable passenger seat in mine with me driving but with seats folded the rear becomes very versatile.
A friend has an Element as their family car and highly recommended it.
