OBS = Outback Sport, just our abbreviation for it here in the Subaru Crew threads.

Yes, the drums work quite well. I think the main advantage the discs have is less fade, so if you're doing a lot of mountain pass driving where you'd be going downhill for extended periods and braking frequently, maybe you'd notice a difference.
 
I'd go with what juice said - wait 'til the '07s have just started to come out, or at least until you find out for sure what the equipment will be on them. Personally, I like Forester better than Outback Sport, even considering the brakes. I think of the Sport as being for folks who don't like Forester's boxy look but still want something smaller than a Legacy or Outback wagon.

If you tow heavy loads and live in hilly SF, get the rear discs.

new 2006 forester x by mikemcolo

unless there is a problem, i am picking up my 2006 forester x tomorrow, black 5-spd w/ Tweeter Kit, Cargo Tray, Bumper Cover and Splash Guards, $18,590 before tax, $20,012 out the door after taxes. i'm pretty happy, and can't wait to get it. my first new car and first subaru! looked at a lot of car options, weighing safety, reliability, economy, and utility, and for the money the forester seemed like my best bet. test drove locally but couldn't find a 5-spd in a color i wanted, so i am driving a little further away to pick one up. so far Flatirons Imports- Boulder, Colorado has been real helpful, and i was happy with the internet price quoted. hopefully it continues to be a good experience when i get over there tomorrow.

Congrats on the pending purchase! Let us know how it turns out... sounds pretty sporty with the 5-speed & black paint! Embarassed to admit I'm an AT guy , but the 5-spd should be quite fun to drive.

Subaru Forester, 2.5X, Premium, Red, Automatic
 
Paid $22.9 with a bunch of extras--auto-dimming mirror with compass, bumper cover, and cargo tray. Figured it was pretty much in line with the other prices listed here. Only wish I didn't have the NY state taxes--8.75% OUCH!
 
Oh, and it was $1,000 better than what the initial dealer offered me in NYC! Ha!
 
Congrats to both of us on our first cars, Mike

Yes, congrats! Enjoy your new ride—and stick around. We would love to hear how you like it, as the miles build up.

Hi Mikecolo -
I have been doing some back and forth with the internet sales person at Flatirons Subaru and am not overly impressed so far... I specified that I needed numbers for the X with Premium package and got numbers for the base X, and when I questioned that, she gave me a lower price, which is obviously incorrect. Did you first negotiate via email or go straight into the showroom?

Try contacting more than one dealer, and consider making a phone call to clarify your needs.

Sweet, I'm jealous. That's a heck of a first auto...I want exactly that vehicle, except maybe the color, as my next one.
