Audi vs. Subaru

[Todd Phenneger]

  Yea, the 4-banger was still a 4.   But the new Outback is available with a Flat - 6.  And you HAVE to love Flat 6-s.  Porsche or not. :-)   ANd the new Subaru's are MUCh better in fit and finish and interior materials.  I like them but I'd of course take an All-road any day. :-)  FOr a BIT more money.

Hi-

When we bought our A4Q in 96, we also looked at Urabus. Weak engine even with
the 2.5L, which like all large 4-cyl sounded like a large blender. What really
sealed it was that a loaded subaru was (from memory in Northeast New Jersey)
$27k, vs. 31k for the A4Q. I believe the price differential has increased
somewhat since then ;-)
