Progress is good. It keeps the market's attention and boosts resale even for older models. I'm sure the '07 model with have a 7 speed auto.  -juice |

Replying to: atlgaxt (Feb 23, 2005 11:55 am) I have noticed some pulsation on my '03 XS, not enough to annoy but enough to remind me that there is a bit of an issue going on there after 32k miles. John

In other cars I have had the brake pedal pulse. Not with my 04 XT but, when the rotor gets RED HOT from a lot of brake application and you go thru water (puddle) it will warp the rotor.. thus--pedal pulsation..... Deadeye

Replying to: once_for_all (Feb 23, 2005 2:29 pm) It would not have been that big a deal either way, but I appreciated the fact that they were decent and honest about that, as I could easily see them denying a warranty claim for something like this, as brakes are typically normal wear and tear items. Since the XT is kind of a complex machine compared to the cheap simple trucks and other vehicles I have owned, this is the first vehicle that I have had that I have brought to the dealer for all service, so I wonder if that track record had anything to do with them giving me a break. BTW, the dealer is Royal Subaru in Decatur (Atlanta) Georgia, and so far I have been pleased with my experience buying and servicing my car there. |

Items covered include brake pad/shoe linings, clutch disk linings, and wiper blades. *See your Subaru Dealer for complete details." FYI - This also includes brake rotors. DaveM

Replying to: atlgaxt (Feb 24, 2005 6:23 am) Out of curiosity, did you ever bring up the possibility of getting completely new rotors? The reason I ask is that machining tends to be temporary solution. A small amount of the rotor is removed in the process sometimes making it more prone to warping. Ken

| Well, at 15,700 miles I decide to get rid of the Yohokama Geolander GS900 tires. They were really wearing thin on the outside edges but still had some tread in the middle. I was never really happy with the OEM tires but thought they would last till next Fall. I replaced them with BF Goodrich Traction T/A tires which seem to have much better traction and treadwear. I also had the car aligned and it was slightly off which probably accounted for the uneven wear.I drive mostly on mountainous roads so tires wear out faster than normal, but on the other hand traction is very important so I'm happy to have new tires. I'll post my experience with the T/As on my FXT as time goes by. | |

Replying to: cmuniz (Feb 25, 2005 5:22 am) My complaint (and I have nothing to compare it to yet, except the OEM Dunlop AS 4000s on our MPV) is that there is plenty of road noise coming from that area. John

Replying to: kens (Feb 24, 2005 11:30 am) My wife is the primary driver, so the car really does not get driven that hard. But we do a lot of driving in the mountains, and I wonder if that had something to do with them warping. |
