I do lots of highway driving - and I have always had to dismiss the Subarus because of their transmissions. I don't remember exactly, but they run at well over 3000rpm when cruising at 80mph. I realize the engines are made for high RPM. But, I simply do not like to have the engine spinning so fast when I'm on a flat road. Simply stated, and for reasons beyond just the RPM issue, I don't feel that they are great road machines. They sure are good looking though and, with the exception of some Volvo models, I think they are the best cars ever in snow and ice!

Replying to: zdonut316 (Jan 16, 2008 8:16 pm) Your post here is fine, but you will find more TSX owners over on the TSX board. I assume you are considering a new one? Try the 2008 Acura TSX discussion to start with. That Altima business started somewhere else and I knew it didn't have anything to do with you. Good luck! |

Replying to: zdonut316 (Jan 15, 2008 9:29 pm) The TSX lease is a bit cheaper. Does it have a nicer interior than the Subie (probably)? Do you need AWD where you live? etc. etc....... PS-are either of these "Mfg" leases? Or thru a finance co?

Replying to: kdshapiro (Jan 17, 2008 2:02 pm) I don't think I realized we were in the same area, either. Honestly, I don't particularly "like" either dealer. I could at least handle Freehold, though. They tried to play games, but when I called them on it, they immediately backed down (this was on my sister's Dodge). Pine Belt, on the other hand, were just jerks all around, frankly. And its a shame because, growing up, my father bought ALL of his vehicles from them. Times have changed, though. I did buy my wife's Forester from them back before I was better educated on car shopping, and I deeply regret it. Went back to them 2 times in the years since just to give them another chance. They aggravated me both times, so I've never returned. |

Replying to: popgalaxy (Jan 12, 2008 7:33 am) I think the grand am is a touch more sporty. Also, you can probably get a high mileage one very cheaply from a car rental place. Last comment, the value of the '04-'07 Malibu is probably down significantly becuase of the 2008 redesign. |
