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 |

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

"Legacy 3.6R 5AT 18 mpg city / 21 mpg combined / 25 mpg hwy" I can live with 25, thanks. I still need to sit in one, but I think I'll see if I can get an Outback with every option. I wouldn't be in a hurry, but my father is 87 and wants me to get a new car. I'm driving his '06 Avalon since he can't drive - and therefore he won't be buying a car. He has offered a bribe of half the cost of all the options - but I have to get the NAV whether I want it or not. He likes his gizmos - leftovers from his WWII flying days I guess. I've been looking at Highlanders and RX10s, but optioned out the stickers are running $39k to $48k and they are in short supply. He liked these two models, but he also liked the looks of the new Outback pics the other day. As usual you folks are up to date on the news. Thanks. John... formerly known as beachfish and former owner of an '86 GL dual-range trans wagon and an '02 Forester S. P.S. - I drove a Venza V6. Terrible ride, felt like an old pickup truck with new high-load shocks on it. Put my checkbook back in my pocket, put my dad back in the Avalon and went to eat lunch. What a disappointment.

Having always prefered and driven manuals all my life I was set on picking up a 2010 manual Outback to replace our 2000 manual Outback. But the buzz over the new CVT has raised my curiosity. Has anyone who - like me - is disposed to buying manuals considering the CVT? Any driving CVT experiences to report? Thanks!

Replying to: seabrook7039 (Jul 01, 2009 8:46 am) I'm hopeful, because I like the way the Altima with a CVT drives, and I believe Subaru uses the same supplier. At the same time, I didn't like the Mitsubishi Outlander with its CVT - very elastic feeling, sort of disconnected. It's hard to explain, I guess. I'd consider one if it drove like the Nissan, but not if it drove like the Mitsu.
