Hi All !
We just completed our first trip with a new 2012 6 speeds outback and we really enjoyed the ride. We are really happy with our new acquisition. I've owned Toyota since my first car, a Corolla SR5 1983 and I made the move with the Outback. My girlfriend has already owned a Forester, so she was more willing than me to give it a try. Anyway, great car, great buy !
The 6 speeds is fun to ride. However, I felt only a little bit of laziness in the 1st gear. Maybe it's because the car is heavier than what I'm use to drive, but I am under the impression it's a bit lacking of strength on the start, it's like the car is not taking off on the 1st. Or is it I am not use with the clutch yet ? Is it me or it's maybe a particularity of the car ? I'm currently focusing a lot on my start in 1st as I feel I'm always a bit under powered when I'm taking off.
Any comment on that aspect of the performance of the 6 speeds ?
