boxerfan Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Any idea what 0-60 is on an OB Wagon with the 5EAT? I can't seem to find any articles on the internet that mention this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerfan Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I should have mentioned in the actual posting that I'm curious about 0-60 on the H6 rather than the 2.5 Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxerfan Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm a big fan of manual transmissions. Do you ever regret going with the 5EAT? I'm loosing the battle between a manny and an slush box with the wife. Not giving up hope yet...but pretty sure I'll cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinT Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm a big fan of manual transmissions. Do you ever regret going with the 5EAT? I'm loosing the battle between a manny and an slush box with the wife. Not giving up hope yet...but pretty sure I'll cave. You weren't asking me in particular, but I went from a six speed sport sedan to the 5EAT. My opinion might be worth $.02. The 5EAT is not the best auto tranny on the market, but it's far from the worst. I tend to keep the lever in sport mode, because I think it makes a significant improvement--especially when driving in hilly terrain. Shifting for myself in manual mode is not nearly as enjoyable as with my former manual-equipped cars, but I'm sure I'm still getting used to doing so, and with additional practice, it'll get better. It's not a matter of missed shifts, of course, but there is a trick to getting the best performance and "feel" out of the transmission, and so far I haven't been able to consistently find the right combination of speed, timing, gears, and rpms. I've only used this feature about ten times so far; hopefully I'll master it soon. Since I do a lot more driving in traffic than I used to, the automatic has been helpful. On top of that, I drive more economically and less aggressively in automatic mode than I ever did in my S60 R. I'm sure this saves more gas than the auto tranny wastes, not to mention potential speeding fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with that - I own my Legacy since May last year and used the manual shift option never more than for 3 minutes each time. The automatic mode is just good enough for daily driving. Maybe I am just too lazy. I also used the sport mode only a few times. After some time I am now used to the standard automatic mode and now how much I have to press the go-pedal to get the right speed. And, I also have to agree that this car leads to a more relaxed driving style - at least most of the time. On the other hand I already found myself hunting down the road ... (And I am not talking about the autobahn) It gets to 100 mph just too quick ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm a lucky man, my wife was just as hungry for the manual as I was, - French - so those Europeans love manuals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I think I read 7.5 somewhere, not sure. The fastest I've seen is an even 7.0 seconds, can recall where but I remember posting that over at Outback.org http://www.subaruoutback.org/_images/logo1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
