Replying to: budrew (Sep 18, 2007 4:20 pm) I currently have a 2001 Outback Limited Wagon auto with 115k. This was my commuter car for 120+ miles a day for almost 3 years. I really miss having a 5-speed as I work from home and no more traffic jams- unless I have customer meetings. Plus, I would like leather and no more 4 cylinder leather 5-speed options. So, that lands me with the XT. I have heard the same about the Subaru Navi. We also have an RX 350 and that navigation is flawless. It has been said before...but if only Subaru offered BLUETOOTH!!!

Replying to: pathtomax (Sep 20, 2007 5:55 am) I easily passed on the nav, but like you I wish they had bluetooth. I'm sure they will soon, but it may be tied in with the nav, so you'd have to have that too (most are, I believe). Summer 2009 they are requiring hands free mobile phone usage in cars so it would be nice to have it built in to the car. But I'm sure there will be a flood of bluetooth car adapters on the market soon. I wonder if there will be a version that will allow you to plug it in to the Aux input on the stereo?

Replying to: budrew (Sep 20, 2007 8:26 am) I just researched my local dealership and they actually have 2 XT manuals in stock! I will go by and take a look at them. Currently, I have a broken ankle, so I have to wait to actually drive it. This will be my first chance to actually see the white and beige combo in person. We may actually have to start our own XT thread...I will surely have more questions for you when I go to pull the trigger! |

my wife and i have pretty much settled on the outback as our choice for the family car based on its safety and performance features. love the awd, since we live in chicago, and seems like a solid choice for kids and pets. i tend to prefer the styling of the '08s to the '07s, but our local dealer has a few '07s on the lot with miles in the teens for a substantial savings - $4-5k over a new model with comparable features (probably the 2.5i). is that indicative of any problems the '07 has, or might these vehicles just be coming off a lease with the price indicative of how much depreciation to expect in the first year? i would suspect the latter, but any light anyone could shed on the decision would be much appreciated - and if there are any other makes and models to consider. thanks! |

Replying to: jcorelitz (Sep 26, 2007 9:37 am) If they were some executives' program car, they sound like a great buy. If they were rental/loaner cars, well, those often get abused. Buying a used rental car is like buying a used mattress from a cheap motel!

Replying to: jcorelitz (Sep 26, 2007 9:37 am) I was able to get my Limited  $3,500 off the sticker... if you're closer to getting 4K off a used model... I'd seriously consider a new vehicle. Outbacks (in the 2.5i configuration) do appear on fleet (car rental) lots. Be careful. Good luck.
