That's what a clutch is for - an auto doesn't coast better than an MT with the clutch depressed. I coast down all long hills and my computer shows great FE when I do.

Funny thing is I much prefer our Subaru automatic's response and quick shifting, but that's an area where the Toyota automatic does MUCH better.
 
Our Sienna will coast forever. It just puts the trans in 5th (overdrive) and shuts off fuel completely. Mileage pegs the trip computer at 99mpg instantly.
 
With the Forester you let off the gas and you get slight engine braking, even on the highway, even down hill. Part of that is probably the shorter gearing (4th), but I'm guessing the extra drag from the AWD is hurting here - it won't coast half as far.
 
Wonder how the CVT does?

For $500 you get a moonroof, the AWP, and foglights. Helloooo bargain!
 
Well, it's $500 OVER the price of a Premium, which last year had all the items mentioned. Which leads to the question, how is the "Premium" premium over the base model now? I guess it still has alloys instead of wheel covers? If that's it, the extra $1000 it costs vs the base model is looking like less of a bargain than it was for '09.
 
Good ol' Sube, it is always so quirky when it comes to feature packaging. If I pay $25 grand for a WRX, all I get for a stereo is the same one the folks paying $179/month get in the base model Impreza. Which is not to say that the WRX is a bad deal at $25 grand, but as a big fan of the 10-speaker factory stereo Subaru is offering in the Imprezas, I would want that if I were buying a WRX.

The price of '10 Premium was lowered $1000, but I guess it's also sans moonroof and fog lights. In addition, I don't think the '09 Premium has AWP.
 
So, if I'm looking at this correctly, a comparably equipped '10 Premium (vs. '09 Premium) is $500 cheaper, plus you get the AWP package.

I guess if you don't want a moonroof you may pass, but nearly everyone is going to jump on that $500 deal.

The Impreza was originally off my list due to the lack of a moonroof, then for the lack of AWP. Looks like the '10 Impreza Premium SE is now on my list ... along with '10 Outback and '10 Forester.
 
My as well throw the '10 Legacy in mix.

You must have a pretty big price spread. Aren't they about $10 grand apart?

I realize the diesel discussion was some time ago but I'm planning the replacement of the 00 GT wagon so.. Any rumors of the when the diesel will make it to the Outback? (Forester 2010 diesel, I already know.)
 
N.B. To an enginerd, "plan" means >2 years.

Hard to say Mike. It's coming, but as to when and which models? I'm guessing we'll see it here within 2 years, and probably offered on the Forester and/or Outback.
