How fitting that we've been talking about this - CR's car issue named Subaru the most reliable brand, number one for MY2004.   -juice

Replying to: hox (Mar 02, 2005 7:12 pm) "Don't get me wrong great car, not AWD, but certainly tops the RSX or TSX (Acura's)."   Why? Because it has more horsepower? Pretty narrow defintion of performance if you ask me.   Johnny Replies to this message: taxman10 (Mar 04, 2005 5:21 am) blueguydotcom (Mar 04, 2005 10:40 am) deano2 (Mar 07, 2005 2:32 pm)

Replying to: johnny420 (Mar 03, 2005 8:28 pm) I guess I'll join in on this. I just got a A4 2.0 Quattro, 6 speed. I've had a 1996 Outback H4 and a 2001 LL Bean H6. I put Bridgestone RE950s on the Bean and it changed personality from a dull car to one with some spirit - albeit losing some snow performance. Before getting the A4 I was in the local Subie dealership and tested a 5 speed Legacy GT Ltd and the automatic version. While I liked the Subie, was very familiar with them and could appreciate the distance they had come since 1996, the car is a half class below the new A4 by any measure other total HP and price. Fully loaded I stickered at $36,700 and invoiced at $34,400. Comparably, but not quite ( x zenons, bose/sattelite, better, I think, materials, longer warranty and free maintenance, etc) equipped, the the subie is $7,000 less. For a lot of people the tradeoffs and savings might make a difference - I wasn't sold.

Replying to: johnny420 (Mar 03, 2005 8:28 pm) That's to Hox, right. I prefer the TSX. Replies to this message: deano2 (Mar 07, 2005 2:32 pm)

Especially if we're talking ultimately expensive. :o)   Forget S4, how 'bout the RS4? RS6? S8? Phaeton W12?   More down to earth, JDM Legacy STi? MazdaSpeed 6? WRX STi? EVO IX?   -juice Replies to this message: rsholland (Mar 08, 2005 8:03 am) esf (Apr 18, 2005 7:04 pm)
