Going to test drive one tomorrow. Looking at the Turbo version w/ leather. Good price for an AWD vehicle.
Test drove a turbo Baja last week... not impressed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Any opinions? |

QUOTE(lapuwali @ Sep 3 2004, 03:52 PM) QUOTE I couldn't believe it when I found out the 6 only comes in automatic. Your amazement is a distant carry-over from when Subaru released the SVX back in 1991-92. All were 4 spd auto. According to legend, at the time they didn't have a manual that would handle the torque of the 3.3L H6 (Subaru's first ever six cylinder engine). Also, they supposedly had marketing data indicating that the most likely audience for their halo car would opt for an automatic given the choice anyways, so there wasn't as much attention given to developing a manual. Too bad, IMHO. I really love my SVX, but it would be that much sweeter with a 5 (or 6) speed manual gearbox. And I guess they are still armed with that marketing data indicating someone buying the 3.0 wagon are going to opt for the auto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
