Sorry about that first one. Hit enter.
Does anyone know of the future plans for Subaru, specifically if they are going to increase the head-room and leg-room on the Outback or Impreza? I thought the recent body re-designs would help, but they were strictly cosmetic.
I'm not particulary big or tall (6'1, 210), but have found the Outback to be quite tight on the legs, both in total leg-room length and width, and in space under the steering wheel. I have to manuever to get in, and then it's just not enough room, and I have short legs for my height! The Impreza is easier to get into and drive, but it's still a bit short. Also, the sunroof makes the Impreza far to short. My head rubs the ceiling.
Basically, the only Sube I can buy is an Impreza without a sunroof. I'm shocked that they still build cars for the Asian body type (no offense meant). Hondas and Toyotas have lots of head- and leg-room (as do Hyundai, Suzuki and Mazda). I want/need AWD/4WD (lots of snow here), but don't want a full-size SUV, don't want an under-powered mini-SUV, won't pay for an expensive German AWD (BMW Xi, VW 4Motion, or Audi Quattro), and think most American cars are junk.
I'd love to get an H3.0 VDC Outback sedan. It's just what I want in nearly every way. Except for the fact that I couldn't drive it comfortably.
Thanks for listening :-(
