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? |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2009 8:45 am) 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.

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 01, 2009 11:35 am) 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 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. ..Mike

Replying to: rsholland (Aug 05, 2009 8:06 am) *Not* an expensive diesel either. Definitely a Passat TDI, not a 335d.
