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 701 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.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 22, 2009 11:12 am) The "big wheels" are merely a marketing ploy as Toyota plays to the current fad in low profile tires. They actually degrade the ride. The Subaru's higher profile tires are a big advantage, less prone to road damage, too, as the highways are in an increasing state of disrepair countrywide.

Replying to: priggly (Jun 23, 2009 9:27 pm) Yeah, huge rims are definitely overkill on a vehicle like that. It's for cosmetics. I'm sure they could go 2" smaller in diameter and still clear the brakes.   It also increases unsprung weight substantially and forces the suspension to work that much harder.
#76 of 701 Oh yeah 2010 legacy by asdf9 Jun 24, 2009 (2:24 pm)
Replying to: ecotrklvr (Apr 11, 2009 11:05 am) I have to get me one of these cars. I sat in one today on the dealership floor as well. The car was like a dark grey and sharp. It had a 6 CD disk changer, Harmon speakers, 10-way power seat, all kind of controls on the steering wheel, and a moonroof. This car is sharp don't let the haters get to you. Yes it looks like a honda from the back and a infiniti from the front but it's a Subaru!   I'll take mine with the 3.6R. It's been a long time since I've driven a sedan.
#77 of 701 2000 rpm @ 80 mph! by rsholland Jun 24, 2009 (6:15 pm)
That's what someone is reporting over at NASIOC with the new CVT. If true, that's impressive, and helps explain how they got a 31 mpg highway rating.   Bob Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 29, 2009 7:40 am)
