Get something serious:
yes it does. The computer screen increased in size as well. It was 8" anf now it will be 11.6" .And I think that comes with the 2.4 liter Turbo
My GLS has been very good, as expected for $90k! There's really nothing special. It's just very safe, reliable and will do everything right for the next quarter million miles.
It says, "Yes, I'm better than you...but not trying to flaunt it."
Toyota.............there is no substitute.
Nice, you got any pics of it?yes it does. The computer screen increased in size as well. It was 8" anf now it will be 11.6" .
Over the past 30 years I've had 9 Toyotas, including 4 Lexuses, and have never had one problem, literally.
They featured it at the car show in NYC. I believe the Subaru website now has the pics and brochure to download.Nice, you got any pics of it?
I've had my '15 Explorer Sport for 3 years now. Still love it. Not many competitors can match Ford with their utilities. But their 350hp ecoboost engine is very underrated. Not exactly friendly on the gas mileage if you have a heavy foot, but once you get it figured out it will get you 18-20mpg in the city no problem.
That problem resided with their PowerShift transmission that was only in select models. The Focus, Fusion & Fiesta IIRC. But yea those cars were plagued with tranny issues. The ecoboost engines have great reliability so long as you keep up with regular maintenance.I know everyone's experience is different but I owned a Ford Taurus the transmission went tits up took it too AAMCO the guy told me that Ford transmissions are notoriously bad and he suggested I get the lifetime warranty. I thought it was an upsale thing so I called a friend that is a mechanic and he said yeah get it. It was about $480 more. AAMCO had to rebuild that tranny 5 times. Something about the planets were supposed to be sitting in a oil bath and they weren't. Convinced me to never buy Ford again, but again the was my experience

It's generally a myth nowadays that Toyota/Honda/etc. are bulletproof and Ford/GM are garbage when it comes to reliability. You could say that a couple of decades ago, and it's been hard to shake the bad reps, but you have to truly scrape the bottom of the barrel to find unreliable stuff. Fact is, most companies are very reliable, just as you said....as long as you keep up with regular maintenance.
Having said that, I'm looking hard at a Subaru as my daily runner when my Escape dies.
Does that use the 4 matic system? And if so how do you like it?
