Continuing The Subaru Legacy

Filed under: Subaru — akeger @ 6:06 am

For 2007, those who simply adore the Subaru Legacy can be on the look out for more exciting things and features. The company even says that they are sending out the new version of the Subaru Legacy with a new appeal and exterior as well as a new engine for better and greater power.

If you do take a look at the new 2007 Subaru Legacy, you would simply say that overall, the facelift and the changes that were done were really subtle. But subtle as they may seem, the company disclosed that the changes were extensive. And built using supreme Subaru performance parts, the 2007 Subaru Legacy is a vehicle that is sure going to last for years and years to come.

One of the things that the 2007 Subaru Legacy 245 PS 3.0 liter model is sporting around is the fact that it has been designed and built using the very innovative ‘three engines in one’ drive system. And this kind of drive system can be also seen in all of the 2007 range of the Subaru Legacy - the saloon, the Sports Tourer, and the crossover Outback versions.

The Subaru Legacy was first launched in the auto industry during the year 2004. And many experts in the field were surprised for Subaru really did launch such a vehicle so as to compete with all those leading and very popular European brands. But the Subaru Legacy proved everybody wrong for it still stands strong today and is making its way to the top. And for 2007, the Subaru Legacy would be seen sporting around with its all wheel drive chassis. It also has got all the best types of equipment one can find in the industry. The interiors are quite spacious compared to all other vehicles that the Subaru Legacy competes with. And when it comes to the vehicle’s price tag, this one is offered for a far much lower cost.

The Expanded Subaru Forester Line Up

Filed under: Subaru — akeger @ 7:19 am

For the 2007 model year, Subaru has made sure that its Forester line up would be adding and offering new features and options for the auto market. And the Subaru Forester XS and the Subaru Forester XT would be doing away with new offers and features.

Both the Subaru Forester XT and the Subaru Forester SX would come with a rear roof spoiler which is fitted through manufacturing in the Subaru auto factories. These models would also be holding ultraviolet glass which has been tinted. These pieces of UV glass would be used for the vehicles’ windows in the rear, quarter, and the back portion.

The line would also be continuing on offering its Luxury options. The Luxury package gives the Subaru Forester vehicles leather trims and a sunroof which is also factory-fitted. Aside from this, the Satellite Navigation system would now be offered as an option for car buyers.

“The popularity of the Forester continues to defy the normal model lifecycle and is consistently one of our strongest selling vehicles. Recently, it was named the safest used vehicle in a seventeen year study conducted by Monash University and it continues to dominate retained values rankings in the compact SUV segment,” relates Nick Senior. Senior is the managing director for the Australian arm of the Subaru brand.

Senior continues, “We have added even more specifications to the MY07 line up which is sure to attract new buyers who are looking for fantastic value a well as a five star ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) crashworthiness rating for occupant safety and excellent resale values.”

Packed with quality and factory-fitted Subaru auto parts, these Subaru Forester models would also be coming with exciting features that would keep Subaru Forester owners at the tips of their toes. Entertainment has not been left in the dust for this vehicle line would now be coming with upgraded radios. These radios would be able to scan for stronger frequencies that would be translating to clearer music and audio and a more relaxing drive.

The price for the 2007 Subaru Forester ranges from $31,990 up to $46,990.

Which Is The Better Buy, Subaru Wrx Sti Or The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Filed under: Subaru — akeger @ 1:37 am

One of the hardest decisions is deciding to buy a WRX STI or a Lancer Evolution. Both of the cars are very similar and are fantastic. The new MR edition (Mitsubishi Racing) has created a more competition for the WRX this year. The MR edition is not as quite as nice as the British version that sports 342 HP and a 60 thousand dollar price tag but it is better than last years Evolution. The new Lancer has 5 more ponies than last years model and has many more features that give the STI a run for its money.

We will start out with the Lancer Evolution MR edition. The lancer starts slightly under $35,000 and has many added benefits from last years Evolution. For starters it has more power because of redesigned airflow to the turbo, something that I believe should have happened a long time ago. Some say the biggest change is the new BBS wheels, the wheel way almost 3 pounds lighter than last years model. Also the true auto enthusiasts will spot the MR edition different with the cool new badging, and around the rear window the impressive “shark teeth” which are vortex generators with the ability to create 35% less lift at 110 mph and helps the wing create more down force by reducing turbulence.

Now for the 2005 Subaru WRX STI, the car just goes to show that Subaru is one tough competitor. When you sit down in the car the first thing you notice is the smaller diameter steering wheel, a smaller wheel creates more of a rally sport feel to the auto. Next is the redesigned helical type front limited slip differential. It does a much better job transferring power to those front wheels for added handling. Next is the braking, the brakes on the WRX have been upgraded via adjustable ABS controller that allows more feedback from the brakes to the driver.

In conclusion both of the cars have almost identical performance numbers with the Mitsubishi coming out slightly I mean slightly ahead. But having only 1000 MR Mitsubishis built will put a dampener on sales. I think this is and will continue to be one of the best rivalries in the import community. So I say let the battle for rally bred street supremacy go, all it will bring is better and better cars by both manufacturers.
