2006 Subaru Forester X Wagon 4-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
This is an awesome car. I'm the second owner, and I've had it since it had 10,000 miles on it. I bought it in Bozeman, Montana, and drove it out there, so these are mostly highway miles. The car has been faithfully maintained, and hasn't caused any problems for me. I have the records on hand here, and I'll buy the car fax for you if you have any doubts.
Specifics: 2006 Subaru X 4D 4 cylinder engine, 2.5 ltr AWD, 4 speed automatic, ABS AM/FM/WX radio/CD player Air conditioning, power doors & windows, alarm, cruise control Flush mount roof rack Tow package Included with this car is an equally awesome, unobtrusive class 2 trailer hitch (pictured) with two separate ball mounts at 1.5 and 2", respectively, and a pair of Thule 440 roof rack rails (not pictured) with keyed locks. You also get a set of all-season Firestone tires that are less than a year old. There are spare headlamps in the glove box. There is a permanent K&N air filter installed that won't need to be cleaned for another 30,000 miles unless you drive through a sandstorm every day. The only things wrong with this car are that the driver's power door lock servo is out and the rear cup holder is broken. These are both inexpensive fixes. The key and both fobs work perfectly. This car is better than advertised in the snow. Six years of driving in the Gallatin Valley, and the high country in Montana, where it snows in piles and sometimes in June have vetted this car and proven that it is badass. Now that I live in the PNW, I don't drive in the snow anymore, but if you're reading this, I know you do. You cannot go wrong here. This car laughs at snow depths that stop this city in its tracks. Be the one who shows up to work on time wondering what the big deal is. Once your deposit (cash or cashier's check) clears my account, I sign the title to you and then the motoring greatness begins. |

US Army tests Subaru-powered hybrid truck
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The military has been studying the implementation of alternative drivetrains for years, a tiny sampling of which includes the diesel-electric hybrid technical hauler and L-ATV from Oshkosh Defense and the Aggressor from Quantum Technologies. There was also ADA Technologies' work with ultracapitors, General Motors' focus on fuel cells and the roll out of electric motorcycles for Special Forces. In the Ultra Light Vehicle (ULV) prototype vehicle pictured above, we have the latest developments in the Department of Defense's hybrid interest combined with a need to develop a lightweight replacement for the AM General Humvee.
In 2010 the Office of the Secretary of Defense put the Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in charge of developing a personnel carrier that could "balance payload, performance and protection," and do so without exorbitant cost. Armored Humvees can weigh more than seven tons, and while the ULV is just under 14,000 pounds, the new vehicle can do a lot more with its weight.
The Subaru turbodiesel under the hood puts out 175 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's not much for pulling 13,916 pounds, so it's assisted by two Remy 410HVH HT electric motors each capable of adding 268 continuous hp and 369 peak hp, along with 844 lb-ft of continuous torque or 1,221 ft-lbs at peak. They're only limited by the 14.2 kWh lithium-ion battery rated at 65 kW of continuous power and 180 kW of peak power, but still, TARDEC says the ULV can do 21 miles on electric power and on the flats has a combined range of 337 miles at 35 mph.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
