The Subaru thread

Love the leg dude....wanted one before I scooped up the TL but just too damn hard to find a Spec-B around here. Wasn't going to settle for less. I always drool when I see one done up proper.

Unfortunately fuel economy is too low for my traveling job. The more gas I use, the less money I make.

Yes, 41HP I believe.
The 2008 I tested was a blast to drive. On Tuesday, I test drove a Mazda Speed3 and IMO there really isn't a comparison between the two, at least for me. AWD makes a world of difference and that chasm is fairly large. Having to wrestle all of the power of the Speed3 through the front wheels would be too tiring on a day-day basis.

Nothing special but I thought I'd share...
I can't do too much to the Forester because it's a lease but I got tired of the low output of the headlights, so I added 5000K HIDs and blue LED parking lights.
Next to the TL:
Have about 26K on the Forester and still love it. My dad is thinking about switching to an Outback when this lease is up. We're really happy with our Subaru
Can't wait for the first snowfall!

so i have a kid on the way and i was looking for a family car lately i think outback would be nice but i kind of like the H6 idea i think i like the 08-09 design better but 3.0 has less tq and uses only premium fuel... newer outback is nice too but i dont like the way it looks or maybe it will grow on me... what about tribeca ?? anybody has experience with these cars ?

New member here. I'm on a few of the Subaru forums, mostly Nasioc. Same username. I'm considering selling my 2008 Spec.B and picking up a 2010 TL SH-AWD. Have any of you made the switch from Subaru to a TL or vise versa?

I came from a 2004 STi and I got my 2010 SH-AWD Tech TL in February. I am very happy with my decision. Of course, these are 2 very different cars but the TL offers enough performance for me to be happy with it and it is so comfortable to drive day-to-day and on trips. I have no regrets.

Meet the new daddy-mobile. It's a '13 3.6R with Nav, H/K 440 watt stereo etc. Basically loaded besides Eyesight & SAP (special appearance package). It's damn nice to have bluetooth and to be able to mob over rough roads and up driveways without having to go diagonal. Also comfortable and roomy as hell. 10x better daily driver than my Legacy (which is about to be put up for sale).
I did buy this because a car seat would not fit worth a shit in the back of my Legacy. Don't feel bad for me, I will have a BRZ with some sort of F/I in a couple of years.
Mods so far -
STi BBS with Yokohama YK580 225/60-17
STi 19mm rear sway bar
Tinted front windows to match
Have and need to install -
STi pedal set
Rear seat back protectors
Before too long -
Clear bra
Koni's all around
Legacy 3.6R springs (~2" drop)
Plasti dip lower grill bars and lower bumper protector
Debadge rear (except for 3.6R emblem which will get plasti dip)

dude I love your LGT... went a few steps too far huh? Congrats, sounds like you're enjoying it already
I've always swooned over the idea of an LGT Outback wagon, but lowered to regular LGT-like heights. The fender flares make them look beefy.
