Hi All, I have noticed that my Legacy (Petrol 2.0i 2013 model) loses power somewhat or feels short on power going up hills/mountains when the a/c is on and the outside temperature is over 20 deg c. Is there a specific reason for this? I live in Switzerland so the climbs are quite steep in places and also the a/c is quite handy this time of year. Thanks alot

Hi All, First major dump of snow has arrived here in Switzerland so my Legacy was in her element getting to work last night and this morning. I was travelling on average at about 100-110kmph last night and I mentioned to my wife that i probably could have gone quicker. I have a Legacy 2.0i with a set of Cooper Snow tyres with plenty of grip still left. I saw alot of skodas and porsches in the overtaking lane doing 120kmph+ and I was wondering if I should be one of them. The question I have is how much confidence do people here put in the Awd technology in these conditions to drive quicker?? Or do the people err on the side of caution regardless? Thanks alot in advance for your thoughts.

Hi All, Ive been meaning to post this for over a year and am only getting around to it now. I bought a 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.0i in August last year. The model is particularly popular out here in Switzerland for obvious reasons given the weather and the potential terrain. When I was researching what to buy I had some quite important criteria: 1. Awd 2. Petrol 3. Space for the little one and the bikes 4. Manual. The Legacy fitted the bill completely. The odd thing was, upon finding out about the Legacy when I read the reviews they were predominantly negative 'not nearly as good as the octavia' 'too expensive to run etc - won't tempt people from their Audi's' etc etc .. In addition from what I read reviewers didnt like how it drive, handled, inside etc etc. I researched the US reviews and they were completely the opposite - they predominantly loved the car. I found this all quite strange. Anyway I went with my gut, test drove and then bought the car as I had been told that they were rock solid and good to drive and I am glad I did as I absolutely love it. However I am just wondering if any of the other users have found such reviews to be completely 'off' as regards to Subaru's?? Is there a general bias in reviews?? Do people even bother reading reviews Thanks alot
