My wife and I did some testing driving this weekend and were very
impressed with the various '04 Subarus we drove.
First, a little background: this will be our primary car for a few
years at least (we're married, no kids, but that will likely change in
the next year or so). We also have a Ford Explorer, which is nice for
the room but bad for the fuel cost. It'll likely turn into a minivan
someday. The Subaru will also be my commuting car (20 miles/1 hour a
day) for the forseeable future.
We drove the Outback (both 4 cyl and H6) and Impreza Sport WRX wagon.
The WRX was a bit too much sports car for what we're looking for (but
a lot of fun!!), so that's out. I haven't yet driven the Impreza TS
Wagon or the Outback Sport (which is based off the Impreza, right?),
but will this week. (I have a stick shift now, but am very bi-polar
on this issue-- I normally enjoy it, except when stuck in traffic,
where I hate it.)
Does anyone have any opinions on the TS vs the Outback Sport vs. the
H6, both in terms of smoothness/handling/noise/space (both cargo and
passengers) and in terms of money (the TS would be $8k cheaper than
the H6)? I'm just curious since I would think other people would have
dealt with this comparison and haven't been able to find much on this
topic.
Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
