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.

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)
#78 of 701 Drove 2010 Outback Today! by dentil Jun 27, 2009 (6:46 pm)
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!

Replying to: dentil (Jun 27, 2009 6:46 pm) It sounds like you already know the answer.   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 Replies to this message: asdf9 (Jun 28, 2009 11:13 am) dentil (Jun 28, 2009 3:38 pm) dentil (Jun 28, 2009 3:19 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 28, 2009 7:01 am) Oh yeah. Definitely hold off. Can you wait till the 2011's come out? I would. Seriously, imagine the deals they have now for the 2009's. Imagine those deals on the 2010's. And don't say anything to the sales person. If they know you love the car they'll hike it up! When you are ready just do the basic buy a new car research. Print out the invoice price with the options you want, then go to the dealer when they have deals and tell them to match it or see ya. Replies to this message: dentil (Jun 28, 2009 3:38 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 28, 2009 7:01 am) You are right, I do need to wait! The 2010 model improvement is HUGE and I would not be happy in the long run. My other concern is that my gut always tells me to never buy the 1st year of a new model. But I need an AWD vehicle by next winter since we moved to a house on a hill. Hopefully the discounts will be available by then because I will not pay sticker price. I see in Colorado Springs they are already discounting. Dentil
