Doesn't seem to me that the advantages outweigh the price and extremely short life-span.
Amen. These tires good for European cities with short distances but PITA for US.

This is the best shift linkage ever from a Subaru, so our in-house Subie expert tells us, with more positive action and smoother engagement, and yet you still need help from the GPS to find the shift gates when you're going quickly.
...
And shifts were so smoothly executed, unlike in past Subies I've piloted, I forgot what car I was driving.
...
Shifter feels far better (with more positive action and smoother gate engagement) than any previous Subaru.
 
So they were generally happy with the 6MT? I thought most opinions of it weren't good.

I drove anew 2.5 GT a few months ago, and I found the 6-speed linkage to be fine.

Bluetooth w/harman kardon audio? by sweetsoul

I just ordered my new OB Limited and noticed that Subaru does not list many phones as being compatible with the harman kardon audio - which is what I am getting.
 
Have any of you used the bluetooth? Have you had any issues? Did it pair fine with your phones? Is it as easy as using a headset? Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Was hoping to get a Palm Pre, but now I am not sure if it will work. Still can't wait til my new car comes in!

Just got a Legacy Limited and was able to pair the H/K radio with a Palm Pre. I wasn't familiar with the process, but the dealer sat down and went throught voice commands to pair the device.

Correct, Bob, with one exception - all AWD Siennas have run-flats.
 
That's the main reason I got a FWD model. We still have a Subaru for snow days and my wife works at home, so I'm the only one that really needs to go out.

Confused Over Quality Ratings by miamicrv1

If you look at the latest information on the JD Power website, the 2010 Legacy barely manages to stay at "average" across all the quality rankings. Which is truly not my perception of Subaru.
 
And if you look at the Nissan Altima which seems to be a disaster in terms of owner feedback, it scores well above average and almost twice as high as the Legacy.
 
What gives? Is the 2010 Legacy a a problem free or a problem prone vehicle?

Thanks crb667 that is awesome news! Was wondering since you were able to pair it with the Pre...Can you do voice dialing with the bluetooth system in your Legacy? I know the Pre does not have voice dialing, but wasn't sure how that works through the vehicle's bluetooth? Thanks Again!

Historically Subaru has not scored well on the JD Powers IQ study, which only looks at the first 90 days of ownership, but they do better in the 5 year Durability study by JDP, and in CR, and even with TrueDelta.
 
Join TrueDelta if you get the chance, they're very innovative and are coming out with new ratings methods soon. I cannot discuss due to a confidentiality agreement, but Subaru ratings there have been very promising.

Interesting about the JD Power.
What is "True Delta"?
I've had two Legacy wagons and found both of them to have been really good in the short term, and over the three years I've had each of them (03, and 07). The only thing I've found is that at around 60000km, I've had to redo the front brakes. I drive a lot in a big city, but still the brakes are not a strong point, and really expensive to fix. Otherwise I've been very pleased with the cars.
I doubt I'll get another one though since they've dropped the Legacy wagon. I don't want the sedan, and certainly don't want the OB. I also think they've cheapen the cars with the kleenex box sized sunroofs, hi/lo seat heaters instead of the dial, no turn signals or folding mirrors and such. I might go for a Forrester, but I don't think it's as solid as the Legacy was. So I'm looking at the competition seriously.
Subaru hasn't left me mucy choice
