Just throwing this out there. CVT Legacy Vs. an AWD Kizashi, to replace my mom' '07 Taurus.

And GO!

Kizashi hands down. Best new car for the money, bar none.

I bought the Legacy simply because my mother in law wouldn't drive across town to see the Suzuki. Also she'd heard of Subaru but not about Suzuki. That's probably the big issue.

I drove the Kizashi and set it side by side with my is250 and feature by feature the Suzuki pretty well compared. It surprised the heck out of me.

I would go Kizashi on this one as well, unless you're after an outback.

We skipped AWD and Mom has a shiney new-to-her '07 Accord SE V-6.

We just had one in the press car rotation, so look for a review soon. (Next Monday, I think?)

Short version? It was nice, but not ^^that^^ nice.

We kinda "fell into" the accord. Right mix of price, color, condition, ect. And talk about Lightyears ahead of Taurus it replaced

Has me looking for a manual 7th gen again.

I laughed at a recent commercial where the company was touting how their car had a "Fuel Injected, over-head cam, inline engine." I really want to do a parody where we tout how a vehicle has an "internal combustion, 4-cycle, reciprocating motor."
