SVX vs Forester, 1000 Miles, Who Gets Metter Mileage?
That's what I asked myself on Friday when my parents and I left home to drive me to school, me in the SVX, them in the Forester.
The Match-Up: 1992 SVX LS-L, one person inside, 4 stock wheels with winter tires, ~75 lbs of tools, misc stuff. 3.3L engine, heavy-weight car, 16 years old. 2005 Forester, two people, two laundry baskets full of clothes, an Ikea bed, cooler with food. 2.5L N/A engine, auto, much lighter car, new, 1/4 the mileage. The tally: SVX: just shy of 30 MPG (about 29.7-something) Forester: 28 MPG. BOOYA!!! Better aerodynamics, 3.54 gears, and not having to downshift going through the mountains wins the day for the SVX.
