[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s underpowered. I’ve driven one, ok? No amount of people saying “it’s faster than my _________” is going to make me believe otherwise, because the lack of power was what convinced me NOT to buy one. If you’re comparing it to a Forester (also underpowered, I own one) than that’s a lousy benchmark.

Compare it to a Tahoe with a 5.3, 5.7 or 6.0L, a Grand Cherokee 5.9, aSequoia 4.7 or 5.7. Or virtually any quad cab V8 pick up truck. Then you’ll understand what actual power/torque feels like.

I’m puzzled why people even argue this. A 2.7L four cylinder mass production street engine is NEVER going to have as much torque as a medium-to-large V8. It’s just not. So why pretend it does?

Are you feeling inadequate because you know it’s slow? Who cares? It’s not a race car, what difference does it make? Just admit it’s underpowered and stop with the nonsense. [/quote]

I believe this PP! My outback is grossly underpowered and I have the biggest engine/hp/torque model. I have a hard time merging into rush hour traffic sometimes. While I like Subaru, my next car won’t be a Subaru since I need to merge quickly.[/quote]
