The last blizzard we got in DC was in late March, by that time everyone had put their summer tires back on.   I have a set myself, don't get me wrong, but not everyone has a hydraulic jack and power tools to mount and dismount tires every time the weather changes.   -juice

An Outback will easily outrun a Highlander AWD 4 cylinder, though.   The H6 is nice, nearly silent, you can barely tell it's on. It's not so much about all-out power as much as smooth delivery. The turbos are a bit quicker.   -juice

Replying to: raybear (Jun 23, 2006 3:35 am) It's a poorly-written description on the Toyota web site. The disengagement over 25mph is only for the Manual Lock mode, where torque is locked to drive all wheels at once. The vehicle is actually "AWD" above 25mph (well, reactive AWD, part-time AWD, whatever you want to call it).   If driving above 25mph during normal cruising, the system will still, supposedly, send torque to the rears upon slippage. How quickly, how much, no one really knows but toyota.   Here's a better quote describing the 25mph limit applying to the Lock mode:   "A 4WD manual locking switch will disengage the auto mode, maximizing torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the vehicle speed reaches 25 mph the Lock mode will disengage, reverting back to Auto mode. The Lock mode also disengages when the brakes are engaged, optimizing ABS and VSC."

Replying to: rdowney (Jun 19, 2006 8:07 am) I just picked up an Outback 2.5i a/t with only the all-weather mats and cargo net as options. OTD price (incl. D.C. tax, tags, fees) was $23,400 approx. from Fitzmall in Rockville, MD. This is the Fitzmall "value price" ($367 above the "internet" price) which gives discounts on some service and a number of free oil changes plus a free loaner car for life when serviced there. The latter was my add-on and is not pushed on you by sales force (at least not too hard).   Very good experience, great car. got the Atlantic blue. Also got the 2.9% financing and wish I could have afforded to do the 2-year financing at 0%, but all in all a great deal. Subaru has great incentives on a great car right now and Fitzmall. Highly recommended. Also thanks to the forum, which I used for weeks to track prices and do research. A great resource for consumers.   Also, salesman told me he does not work on commission. True? But there does seem to be a commission-like system based on customer satisfaction, apparently. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 27, 2006 10:00 am)
#1018 of 2251 Buying A Used Outback by bemidjigreen Jun 26, 2006 (4:38 pm)
I am in the market for a used outback and really like the 2005/2006 version of it. I've been offered some great deals on a new 2006, but the payment is a bit more than I want.   I've seen quite a few used 2005/2006 outbacks listed on autotrader and cars.com in the Minneapolis area thar are below Bluebook...alot below it in some cases. After doing a carfax on them, they appear to be former rental cars.   Should I steer clear of these vehicles or are they worth looking into. I intend to have the car inspected before I purchase but I am concerned that these cars have been used, abused and poorly maintained. Thanks!
