Re: Subaru AWD Fuel Consumption question

Jakey 5 April 2005 06:26:36
 We have a 2000 Forester automatic, we get about 21 mpg around town (lots of
hills) and 24-26 on the highway. The AWD and the boxy shape hurt highway
mileage. But we need the AWD as we live in the snowbelt. There are days here
when only 4 x 4 pickups and Subarus are getting through. Yesterday we had
that freak snowstorm that dumped 12" of snow. My wife made it out our hilly,
unplowed dirt road. The ground clearance of the Forester helps on snowy
roads.
The Forester is torquey and maneuverable in city and suburban driving. This
car is less fun on straight highways because of the short wheelbase and
engine drone. Subaru just can't seem to understand an overdrive that gives
low RPM at highway cruising speeds or say 70 MPH.
Also the back seat leg room is short.
So it all depends on where you drive and whether the rear leg room is a
requirement.
