We almost went that road for my wife, but the car ended up costing almost the same as an x3 on lease. We decided it wasnt worth it and went with something less expensive, a loaded rouge. All in all i love the outback. I have a wrx as my winter car and there really isnt anything much better in the snow. Way better then my old audi!

It is a carseat issue for us. With offspring #1 arriving in September, we have to ditch the Mazda3. Since the carseat has to fit rear facing for 2 years, we went ahead and bought one to take test driving.

Here is a list of cars that it does not fit in without having to put it in the center or moving the passenger seat up to an uncomfortable level.
  • BMW X3
  • Volvo XC60/XC90/XC70 - We REALLY wanted the XC60 to work
  • Ford Edge, surprisingly
  • Nissan Rogue
  • Mercedes GLK350
  • Mazda CX5
  • Ford Escape
  • Toyota Highlander
  • Acura RDX barely worked, MDX was a no-go

The Outback was the first one we drove and what we ultimately decided on. The seat can be nearly all the way back and the seat still fits. Plus is has a cavernous cargo space. With the seats folded flat, there is just a hair over 7 feet of floor space. This is another big issue for us since we do not have a truck.

A lease is not an option as we drive them until they fall apart

I looked at one in 2010, also test drove the Forester turbo. I wanted to test drive the 6 cylinder Outback but none of the dealerships could get one, said I had to special order it. The Forester Turbo definately had the better power. I just felt that outback didn't have the power that it needed for the size car. That being said it was a great driving car. drove smooth and ver responsive.

Not to mention the all aluminum chasis and panels that is rivet bonded and glued together like an airplane. 400 lbs lighter than the previous XK8 and its rivals. Very solid going over bumps.

+1. Never have been much of a Jaguar fan, but the new ones are SICK!

Moses---How do YOU pronounce Jaguar?
-Jag-you-er?
-Jag-you-are?
-Jag-wahr?
-Jag-wire?

Depends if I am wearing an ascot while driving, listening to James Bond theme. I usually just say "Jag" with the teeth clutched like Thusten Howel.

Our dog can't turn around in the back seat and she's just over 20 lbs...

Last week there was over a dozen GTR's, a pair Ford GT's, a ton of Evo, a few Ferrari's, etc... all their customers onsite for their open house.

Man, do I like that Ford GT and I have grown up a Ford hater. Have to admit they've turned their product line around into something quite attractive.
