#2 of 11722 H6 by rumor Nov 20, 2000 (7:45 pm)
mrglick: I LOVE my 01 OB limited! Consider that my other car is a 00 RL only shows how impressed I am with the Subie. I have eagerly awaited the opportunity to drive an H6, and my dealer has just received 4 in. I hope to get to the dealer this week, but they are about 45mins away. I am concerned by the post from others that there is not much of a difference between the H6 and H4 though. My reasons for considering trading in the H4 for the new H6 are the following...  1) I am hoping for more towing capability  2) more power  3) a little more exclusivity (too many ltds around town)  4) auto climate control  5) and perhaps a quieter interior with more sound proofing if subaru offered factory installed xenon lights on the H6 I would buy today. My acura has them and they are incredible, and the aftermarket ones might come close in apperance, they are not even close in performance, plus the aftermarkets look to "wanna be" for my taste. But if I feel the H6 is "better" than the H4 it will also depend on the trade difference before I buy.
#3 of 11722 upcoming purchase by mmms Nov 20, 2000 (8:14 pm)
I am considering a 2001 Outback wagon, 4cyl. I really don't need the 6cyl although it would be nice however the price is questionable. My question is to those who own the Subie wagons is would they buy again and do they feel the 4 cyl is underpowered? Replies to this message: lmenten (Feb 09, 2007 8:42 am)

My dad has an Outback Limited, and there mere suggestion of a more powerful H6 made him laugh. He's more than happy with it, though he doesn't exactly drive like Mario Andretti. -juice

mmms: We leased a '98 Outback. The last payment on the lease was this month (not withstanding the dreaded end-of-lease reconciliation). Before the Outback, we were driving a Pathfinder (my wife hated the Pathfinder). We absolutely fell in love with the Outback. AWD, style ... we feel it's perfect for our family's needs (young boy and overgrown dog). However the Einstein that designed the cup holders in the 98 Outback needs to go back to school. We find the power in the H-4 fine. And honestly I do not understand all the posts concerning lack of power ( We do have the 5 spd. As proof of our feelings towards the Subie, we are stepping up and PURCHASING the '01 Outback Limited. This decision was based on our previous 3 years experience with the Outback and all the wonderful information that is shared in these Posts. Good luck, I don't think you will make a mistake if you go with the Outback... Great Value, AWD, style, and a bunch of fun to drive.
#6 of 11722 New purchase by jomam Nov 21, 2000 (12:21 am)
I just picked up my 01 Legacy GT Wagon in Titanium Pearl from Paul Brothers in Herndon for a few $100 under invoice. (They beat Fitzgeralds price). No hassle, just went in and did the paperwork. Ben Greer was saleman. I ordered the car 10/26. Am pleasantly surprised by the color since we did not know how it would look (Same color as the bottom panels of the OB). Like previous posts I was also concerned about out of state purchases. I believe they must charge sales tax if they have dealerships in your state. FYI Fitgerald has a dealership in Chambersburg PA and in Florida. Also I hear they are high on service costs even though they quote low sales prices. That would not matter for those who do their own service or service elsewhere.
#7 of 11722 Happy with H4 by eb12 Nov 21, 2000 (1:28 am)
I have only had my OB (5sp) for 2 months, but I think the H4 offers plenty horsepower for my taste. I have driven the H6 OB,I agree with the earlier post,It is nice but I am still very satisfied with our OB!
#8 of 11722 power, new sube by c_hunter Nov 21, 2000 (2:15 am)
I have an 00 Outback with the 5-spd, and it has plenty of power, especially at low rpm. I wasn't as impressed with the auto, but it's not bad either. jomam: congratulations! Titanium is a great color. Craig
#9 of 11722 Ltd or not by ckfreund1 Nov 21, 2000 (3:17 am)
I am trying to decide if I want the Limited or the base model Outback. I currently have a couple Yakima bike racks and a kayak rack and will buy a storage compartment. I'm afraid I'll need a fairing to cut down on the rack noise and it looks like it would go on top of the moonroof of a Limited. Also, is it wise to have leather seats if I'm going to be wet from kayaking or hiking?
#10 of 11722 Leather Love by johnnylee Nov 21, 2000 (7:02 am)
ckfreund1- I have a 99 Limited OB. I hike and mtb a lot. And I live in Seattle. Never had any problems with the leather. I like its toughness against snagging. And mud wipes off easier than it does from fabric. And there's less dust when you flop into the seat. Smells good too.
