Replying to: rsholland (Jun 17, 2009 6:23 am) Nice to see improvements, but in this month's C&D Comparo of small luxury crossovers, the Volvo was the lowest and it offered 3300 lbs. Most offer 3500 lbs towing, and Subaru really ought to match that, especially with the H6.

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 16, 2009 12:25 pm) ...none have arrived in my area just yet, but there is an event going on next week which supposed to be a reveal (for those who don't follow the industry I suppose) of the '10 Legacy and Outback. I want to go, but finding the time and probably not being able to drive anything means that I'll probably pass.
#66 of 679 First Impression by invest Jun 18, 2009 (11:27 am)
A gold Legacy arrived at a local dealership this week and my initial impressions are as follows:   Exterior is clunkier (technical term) than it appears in photos and lacks the design elements of the G37 or even the Mazda 6. Interior is attractive, however the fake wood looks very cheap and plastic. The seats are extremely comfortable ( best in class).   That said, I think the overall appearance is better than the model it replaces and i look forward to the test drive. I also believe the car will look better in darker colors.

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 19, 2009 7:24 am) Wow, the CVT kills the manual by a whopping 4mpg.

Replying to: dcm61 (Jun 19, 2009 5:01 pm) DANG! I knew that CVT would be a winner! How difficult do you think it would be to get one into an 09 or 2010 Forester? It is enough to make me whine!
#71 of 679 Definitely in the market ... by gmginsfo Jun 20, 2009 (4:02 pm)
but for what? My '03 Forester XS Premi is starting to show its age (troublesome sunroof, coffee stains, a few nicks), but is otherwise fine, so I hope to get a good trade-in allowance. Am pleased to see a CVT, the H-6 (even if Subaru's too mum on its mileage), that the Outback is now almost the size of my Forester, and that the Foresters have grown to near-Tribeca proportions.   But then along comes Venza. What's that all about? A Subie wannabe, perhaps, but Toyotas are no slouches, except in turns. Any thoughts on which of these three would be best for this SoCal commuter/sometime mt. driver who's never quite gotten used to the lag in accelleration that's inherent to the H-4?

Replying to: gmginsfo (Jun 20, 2009 4:02 pm) The H6 is not available with the CVT (yet). The Outback is, and always has been, larger than the Forester.   An inherent lack of acceleration with the H4? Not true. The fact that it's a boxer engine has nothing to do with that. Other issues come into play here, not the engine layout.   Recommendation? Forester turbo or Outback H6.   Bob

Replying to: gmginsfo (Jun 20, 2009 4:02 pm) Toyotas are softer and more isolated. The Subie should be much sportier. They put big wheels on the Venza but that alone doesn't make it sporty. I do like the interior a lot.   If hesitation is a big concern, pay close attention to the transmission in the Venza. The one on my Sienna isn't as responsive as the automatic in my wife's Forester.
