I just received a price of $27,500 for the 2006 Legacy GT Limited Sedan with 5 speed in New York. This price includes the splash guard set, wheel locks, security system upgrade, armrest extension, auto dimming mirror with compass, all weather floormats, momo shift knob, and subwoofer/amplifier. Total price after taxes etc is $29,900. Not sure if I can get this price much lower. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello from Canada. I'm going to buy a 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i wagon this weekend. I've done my homework for more than a month. The reasons I chose it instead of its competitors are: 1) all wheel drive : I got two near-accident experiences with front wheel drive cars in winter. 2) mid-size station wagon : no more Jetta wagons in 2006. that's too bad. VW Canada is selling 2005 leftover models only. 2006 Passat wagons (V6, 4Motion) will be too expensive (not on the market yet) I almost decided to buy a 2006 Toyota Matrix (actually small-size), but Toyota Canada refuses to add side airbags and curtain airbags as options; I'm not talking about standard, but OPTIONS!! Bye, Toyota. 3) good standard equipment Even the lowest 2.5i has 6 airbags (kudos to Subaru, Honda and Hyundai (Sonata)), many power-related options, cruise control, air conditioning, cd player, and surprisingly HEATED front seats (in Canada). Toyota Canada refuses again to add 6 airbags an an option for Camry SE whose MSRP is almost the same as Legacy 2.5i. 4) IIHS report on INJURY, COLLISION & THEFT LOSSES (2002-2004 models) click here Legacy/Outback 4WD has a very good rating in the all mid-size category. 5) good reliability and resale value 6) temptation to buy 2006 Honda CRV and 2006 Toyota Rav4? 2006 Toyota Rav4 will be a hot seller this winter considering all the media reports (& hype). Even though the IIHS report used its old models, its rating is very poor. So is Honda CR-V's. And CR-V still has to solve the PPTR problem. Of course those two mini SUVs generate much MORE NOISE than Legacy. 6) Final thought: I NEVER dreamed of buying a SUBARU car in my whole life. But, Toyota and Honda fail to meet all my requirements within my budget. Passat wagon with 4Motion is an alternative but it'll be way too expensive for me. I'll post more info on my Legacy later. Thanks for all the posts you put on this wonderful web site! |

"1) all wheel drive : I got two near-accident experiences with front wheel drive cars in winter. " Were you unable to accelerate? Krzys

Put simply, you slip when torque > traction available. FWD is doubling the first number, so the chances you'll slip are much higher. I like how this site describes it: http://www.4x4abc.com/4WD101/tractionuse2.html vs. http://www.4x4abc.com/4WD101/tractionuse4.html This mostly applies going up hill, but the reserve of traction is there for any slippery situation. It was funny, my sister was shopping Camry vs. Forester, but she test drove the Camry on a rainy day. Guess which one she bought? -juice
