Topic: CTC Review: 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited

It passes the first glance test for me. Sat in the Sports trim version on the weekend and was impressed. Only dislike is the bulbous look of the front end.

Am waiting to cross-shop this with the forthcoming AWD Suzuki Kizashi.

Was that latest photo taken to show the misaligned lights?

9.2L/100km? Really? I get that in city driving in the winter; in the summer I get in the 8's. Highway driving in the summer, I get in the low 7's.

I think alot depends on driver and location.
My wife thinks now 4.6 is bad, for driving around Dartmouth

Whats the purpose of the V6 if the 4 makes more power? Towing?

H6 Better for:
Towing
Regular fuel
probably better for real world millage.

T4:
More power and torque but requires premium fuel.

Stupid question maybe, but what makes the H6 better for towing if the T4 produces more torque?

When you're towing, you need flat torque curve right from idle.  The impressive peak torque of the turbo four is available after the turbo spools up, not during the first 1500 rpm or so (where you need it most when towing).

At least that's my best guess.
