Audi vs. Volvo vs. Subaru

[jbernie]

This is an awfully weird comparison. I'm surprised nobody mentioned that Subaru isn't really in the same class as Audi and Volvo.

Subaru is a higher-end economy brand. Volvo and Audi are luxury brands.

It all depends on what exactly you are comparing... interior quality, performance, efficency etc. Depending on which aspect you focus on depends on what competes. A responsible driver can get 30+mpg out of a 400hp Corvette on a highway, which is as good as some 200hp v6 sedans.

Definately agree on your distinction between economy and luxury. It is a wierd thing about cars, set a $30-35k price range and it is amazing now what brands fall into your field of view.

Alright, it has been a while... but we finally settled for a new car. Well actually not quite new, since we decided to get a used 05' Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Ltd. It is an automatic... but the 250hp should get us up the mountain

The leather interior is very nice, the only thing missing is an iPod hook-up. But since it is not a new car, I don't mind doing a bit of installation work myself.

Thanks again for everybody's input.
