rweddy Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I am on the road this week and guess what car Hertz put me in? A 05 Outback wagon. Wow!! I have never been that impressed with the 00-04, not much of a difference from my 96 but this one….. I might really consider one of these in a few years. I also love the automatic; I cannot believe I am saying this. I have been a huge anti auto for a long time, but this one is great. And the symmetrical AWD is great, had some time before the meeting this am and took it for a few spinouts in an unplowed parking lot here in IL. I cannot wait to drive a XT with the turbo!!!

Sweet82 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 A few years ago we got a Forester as a Loaner car from a rental company. Of course I felt obligated to "put it through the paces". I had it up in the mountains on a switch back road. I was going UP hill, around a corner, on loose gravel, floored! from a full stop. I could not get the wheels to break loose Now I own a Forester Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives you the best of both worlds, and the XT has paddles on the steering wheel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
