And, yes, I agree that the back seat can be a chore to enter and exit for some people.

Seat
I would agree and disagree with both Matt and Mr. Pockets on the seat thing. Yes it is tight back there but when I got my car (broken ankle and all) managed to squeeze my 6'1" frame back there. I had more room than in a friends accord coupe and the headroom kicked the but of every other coupe I've ever sat in the back in. Although touching my head isn't auditioning for a V-8 commercial. You can't expect sedan room in a coupe. It just isn't there. As for using it as a double date vehicle. I'm just amazed that you are able to convince two people to climb back there at the same time.

Also, since we were going somewhere that required good visibility from the back seats, the SVX won in that category, too.

svx vs outback
As part of Carter Subaru's "Hassle-free" loan car program, I had the use of the H-6 3.0 212hp Outback for a day, the last time I had a car in for service. There was just enough of the H-6 3.3 230hp feeling to remind me of my LSi. While it does not have the road handling, the aesthetic appeal or the snap of my LSi, it struck me as the best compromise Subaru has to offer between the polar opposites of the SVX and the Outback. Now, for the same money as the H-6 Outback, I might actually go over and look carefully at the Audi A4 Avant

Also, I feel that the L steering feels 'tighter' at lower speeds. I like it better. Mike |

Headroom is very tight in the back seat. Anyone over 6' will probably become very familiar with the roof. If you need more headroom in front, get the L model (no sunroof). I had to. Couldn't fit my lanky frame comfortably into a sunroof equipped model. Cheers, Matt |

What? You don't want to admit you're wrong?. That's what I thought.

So is the difference just the PS pump between the different types?
I have a 94 LSi and it's a bit overboosted for me... I have to change the PS pump anyway and if I can change to less boost by going with the other type of pump I'll do that. Does anybody know? |

Lwin, I'm just pulling your leg by the way.
I've noticed that the steering on the LSL is a little tight compared to other sports cars I've driven, although I've never driven an SVX Lsi so I don't know if there's a difference there. |
