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?

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 23, 2009 6:42 am) 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   cdndriver

Anyone shopped the new Outback 3.6R against the six cylinder Toyota RAV4? How does the RAV4's AWD system compare to that of the Outback?

| I like the looks of the new Outback but what's up with that roof rack? It looks like a cheap piece of crap. Why could'nt they have designed it more like the one on my 04 FXT? I don't use or need a roof rack so the first thing I did was pull the crossbars off and no harm no foul on the looks of the vehicle. I see that in the Japan models you don't have to get them. I know there are those that use them (Kayak's etc..) but I would really like to know the percentage of people that really use them. I think they should be maybe a no cost option or a no cost delete. Am I alone out here with this? What do you'll think? | |

Replying to: tdiver (Oct 29, 2009 9:50 am) I wonder how much stability there would be to a bike rack with a couple of bikes up there. The idea is clever to have one that folds away, and I'm sure it's their way of discouraging people from buying after market racks, which is what I bet most people do. But it's a clumsy large bulky fixture up there, not sleek like the past ones have been. I don't know if they hired new engineers there or what, but it just seems to me like they've cheapened so many things on this car. I'm disappointed, and checking out other makers more closely for my lease renewal in two months.

Replying to: cdndriver (Oct 29, 2009 10:43 am) Be sure to also inspect the Forester: Sleeker roof rails, same passenger space, shorter to park and folding side mirrors. Only chintzy items seem to be mouse fur headliner and thin carpet. The 4-speed versus CVT auto trans is a personal call; I drove the CVT Outback and the 4-speed Forester and preferred the Forester. The prices are not very different unless you would choose a stripper version of the Forester which could be a transportation bargain. |
