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) 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) 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: priggly (Jun 23, 2009 9:27 pm) It also increases unsprung weight substantially and forces the suspension to work that much harder. |

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

We have been waiting for the 2010's to arrive so we could get a better discount on the 2009. Today we drove a 2010 2.5 LTD and now we have a problem. Both my wife and I LOVE the 2010. Now what do we do? What a beautiful car!!! The CVT is smooth and the car has such a nice ride. Lots of leg-room both front and back. I usually have my seat back as far as it will go when I drive and I didn't need it all the way back. Even when I did, the person behind me had lots of room. The Legacy sedan was there too and it is sharp as well! Dentil |

Replying to: dentil (Jun 27, 2009 6:46 pm)  If you're not in a huge rush to get a new car, you might want to wait until the 2010 models become more available (and all the '09s are gone), as you will eventually start seeing discounts at dealers on the '10 models. ...Or you might mention to the salesman that you're going to hold off a bit to see if you can get a better deal when the cars become more plentiful. If you're lucky, and if they really want to make a deal, they may cut you some slack on the price. ...And I agree, the 2010 model is a HUGE improvement over the '09 model. If you opt for the '09, knowing what you already know about the '10 model, you may end up kicking yourself in the long run for being so cheap. Bob
