Replying to: paisan (Aug 12, 2008 6:09 pm) I'm 5'9" and 200 pounds and my doctor is constantly telling me to lose another 30 pounds. It may not seem important now, but it will when you get to my age—assuming you do get to my age.  Bob

Replying to: pilot1226 (Aug 14, 2008 7:22 am) Given my time constraints, i.e. two kids that want me to play with them and not focus on car detailing, this was a priority for me, so I tried it out. The product does exactly what it promises. It's quick and easy to apply and remove, plus the big plus is it does *not* stain the black rubber and plastic trim. That's key for saving time, because with some other stuff I used you had to use blue painter's tape to keep the trim clean. So far the water beads up well in the rain. I just hope it lasts. It also passes my "rag test". Toss a rag on the hood, and it should slip right off. It does.

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 14, 2008 7:47 am) I usually wax my cars right after it starts to turn to fall, so that puts me about mid Octoberish, and then I'll do another wax after we thaw out in the spring. A funny thing happened within the last 2 weeks I've owned my Sub... Every time my wife and I drive somewhere and she hops out, I pull out the owners' manual and read away... I recently discovered that you can pop the transmission into "SPORT" mode for better acceleration and engine braking... I had no idea this existed and the dealers didn't mention it. I knew about the manual SPORTShift mode and the regular D automatic, but Sport mode is pretty cool, and I like the way the engine backs down when I take my foot off the gas pedal. Oh, I wrote a review for Edmunds' and it's the only one up there for the `09 Legacy. The Limited trim is far more superior than I ever expected it to be when we were considering the SE trim... The dual climate is very nice and the AUTO feature is useful... The hardest thing I've had to get used to is the fact that I can't comfortably shut the door(s) by the window frame, well, because there isn't one. In order to minimize fingerprints, my wife and I have agreed to shut the door via the handle. Can't wait for some inclement weather. About 700/1000 miles into the break-in period, impatiently waiting for the 1001st mile where I can really open it up.
