On my Sienna they barely work at all, and only serve to melt a little frost. I rode along with Bob in his wife's Forester and they are soooo much better. They actually burn off rain, so even in heavy rain the mirrors stayed totally clear. I was amazed. The catch? You have to keep turning them on because I think they go off on a timer. |

I have been driving Subaru Legacys and Outbacks for 9 years and had mostly good experiences. Last week, I almost went to my favorite Subaru dealer to buy a 09 Forester... but then I had to stop and buy gasoline ($3.90 / gallon). I then looked at the 09 Forester MPG rating (20 mpg city/26 mpg higway) and decided to stop at the Honda dealer first. The Honda won the mpg race. Subaru is talking about bringing their new diesel boxer to the USA, but with diesel selling for $4.30 a gallon, I'm not impressed. I have $900 in Subaru bucks burning a hole in my pocket, but unless Subaru does something to squeeze more miles out of a gallon on gas, I won't buy another Subaru. |

Replying to: redrose1 (May 08, 2008 7:01 am) The RDX is not selling particularly well right now so you can get a very good deal on it, so there's not a lot of real world difference betweeen the cost of a base (i.e., everything but nav) RDX vs. a loaded XT Limited. I had the RDX on an all-day test drive so was able to drive it on all kinds of roads--I would suggest you do the same before you decide. |

The upmarket models have a different supplier for the audio system than the X and Prem. Interface for the upmarkets should be available at a later date. |
