Vechicle: 2011 2.5i Limited

Color: Black / Black

Purchased: October 2011

Mileage: 500 kms and rising quickly at about 130kms/day

Pros: CVT transmission feels great, comfortable, power passenger seats (sometimes its the simple things)...Only driven it for 3 days so far and I know I'll discover many more pros such as AWD when it starts snowing.

Cons: Can't figure out how to transfer iphone phone book into Nav system but I'm pretty sure I'll get over it

... okay, I know it's not a car, but it is the motorcycle equivalent of the OB!!

Vechicle: 2004 Outback wagon, H6 3.0, 4-auto

Color: White upper/Beige lower

Purchased: June 2011

Mileage: 114,xxx kms

Pros: solid, safe, reliable. And it's a wagon !

Cons: not as fuel-miserly as I had hoped; 4-auto anemic to shift up/down, needs extra cog or two to improve fuel economy; turn signal clicker way too soft for me to hear;

2001 Legacy GT wagon 2.5; 336,000+ kms; bought December 2005 with 104,000 km; Michelin X-ICE for winter; still running strong
Pro: handling, durability, easy to maintain;
Brought me home one night, 2 years ago in the worst snow storm of the decade ( 51 cm overnight); so much snow it was coming overtop the hood... but it did plow through for over 1.5 km of side road to my driveway!
Con: mileage could be better but hey ... nothing is perfect!

2007 Outback wagon 2.5i; 96000 kms; bought November 2011 with 94,000kms; Michelin Alpin PA3 225/55R/17 for winter ( expensive);
Pro: Seems to handle well; same engine as 2001 ( if it works ... don't screw with it!) - let me go through the winter for an update but if it's as good the 2001, Bonus!
Con: Nasty little problem with condensation inside right headlamp ass.
Wife claimed driving authority on it ... sigh!

New to site with my 2012 Outback 2.5i premium, All Weather Package (US model). Previous car was a Legacy Wagon, purchased new in '97 and had 304000 KMs on it when sold. Loved that car, it served me well.

Location: Shediac, New Brunswick

2012 Outback,
Pros: Solid, AWD, good Dog wagon, ground clearance, space.

Cons: Seems to lack power on takeoff. Motor seems to rev allot before it actually goes. MPG gauge on left is useless. A TEMP gauge would have been much more practical. Windshield De-Icer, not so convenient when you have to be in the car to activate it. System should activate automatically in freezing Temp and Only when engine is running. ie, If you have a Remote Starter
