harddigging 42 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 which is the best the legacy or the forester and why. are the autos any good or are you better off with a manual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 We've got a forrester, they were the only ones tall enough for our dogs, the tallest dog being 31". If you are using it for lamping and need to multi task, a manual would be a pain in the ass. We love our automatic, don't have to think when you drive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 578 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 manuals are better because they have a "low" box auto's and turbos dont, legacy's have less ground clearance than foresters but that problem can easily be solved by fitting "outback" suspension on the legacy, also legacys have a bit more boot space and a bit more leg room for the rear passengers, both equally as good but i do prefer the forester myself, leave 2.5 and 2.0 turbos alone, the 2.0 or 2.2 engines are bombproof and still have loads of power......
