    2010 with only 2400 miles. Didn't cost me much.

    The fuel gauge is as big as the tachometer...really?

    Nice ride! I'm not a huge fan of the 2.5 Non-Turbo gauges though. I like having a coolant temp gauge too, and not just a "cold" or "hot" light.

    The white does look good though! Congrats!

    Post a pic of the Fuel Gauge vs Tach! These things are getting bigger and bigger (The Forester, not the Fuel Gauge)!

    Hmmm never noticed the fuel gauge on our 09. If you enjoy it half as much as we do ours you're gonna love it. I've said it before but its everything our STi is not and thats why I love driving it. I've sorta got best of both worlds.

    I need to try out a turbo model. I drove a n/a model and the thing did not impress. I drove a 2010 CVT-equipped n/a Outback back-to-back, and the CVT seemed to utilize the powerband much better, and actually felt snappy, whereas the 4EAT made it feel like a turd.

    Now if I could just find a used '09 XT... (yeah right).

    Requested fuel gauge pic. If this was a manual, I would complain. But why even have a tachometer in an automatic? Girls don't know what that means anyway.

    Why isn't there a temp gauge? Or am I missing something here?

    When you first start it, there is a blue temp warning light, indicating that it is not warmed up. I haven't seen it, but I would assume there is a red light for when it gets too hot.
