Car Forum / Acura Cars / December 2006RL Type-S
I am getting rid of a Subaru Outback 3.0 VDC 6-cylinder car that has a BAD hesitation problem, that Subaru can't or won't fix. I am looking at the 2007 Type-S, and, test drove one last week, and, it seems very nice, and, NO hesitation. Any issues with this model? They're both drive-by-wire, so, I have some concerns... I live in Denver, and, may miss the All-Wheel Drive, but, couldn't live with the hesitation issue... Thanks. > I am getting rid of a Subaru Outback 3.0 VDC 6-cylinder car that has a BAD > hesitation problem, that Subaru can't or won't fix.

The manual shifter was rubbery (I know it doesn't have to be because I have a Prelude and it is fine). The brake pedal was soft, although the brakes were fine. The car could greatly benefit from the SH-AWD in the RL, which I have and like. It has a lot of power but it has trouble getting it to the road in anything but a straight line.  SignatureRobert B.

There is a limit as to how much power you can put through unequal length drive shafts in the front of the car before you get an unacceptable amount of torque steer, and it would appear that Acura has found it. Of course, I can even get some in my '06 auto TSX and I had no problem getting it in my manual '88 MX6-GT Turbo.

You can save yourself a lot of money and get an almost as good car by buying a Honda Accord V-6 loaded with all the goodies. Both the TL and the Accord are built from the same underlying platform in the same factory.
