Just got a new car!

**Bostonian** · 12.12.06, 04:35 AM

Okay aside from my recent XM posts, I thought I would do something different! Anyway, I just picked up a 2007 Subaru Outback Sedan L.L. Bean edition. I must say I didn't think I would be getting a subaru, but I am very pleasantly surprised. The sticker price is similar to the Audi A4 and BMW 3 series, but is much more well equipped then either. I was either going to get the A4, or Infiniti G35x because I need all wheel drive in New England

Here are some stock photos, with my own photos coming in soon!

Beautiful Car!

Got the itch too, and have been looking around myself!

...Bad news is that the car came with a built in Sirius receiver....

Awesome car. I too drive a Subaru and it's awesome.

Nope select 2007 subaru models equipped with sat radio come with XM not sirius. But since i have an inno I just plug it into the aux jack port and good sound quality especially with the SRS system to help hide some of the compression aritfacts

I've been debating. Every time I dump $40 into the tank of my Explorer I think about driving straight to a Toyota dealer and getting a Camry. But, I want 4WD or AWD, and I own the Explorer in a year, if I can keep it together, it might give me the option of buying a toy, like a Mustang or something.

So, I wait.

Edit - my Dad's got an A-4 Quattro with the 6 in it - THE BEST care I've ever driven.

I haven't tried the subaru in the snow yet (since we don't have any!) but I can tell you already just the handling of this care on the road makes my old nissan altima look silly. The A4 quattro is a very nice car, and the 6 with it just makes it all the more sweeter. I know audi has a lease program going on for like $369 a month or something. The only reason why I went with the subaru was just because I was getting better money on a trade. But you cannot live in new england and not have 4WD or AWD...

Where'd you get it?
