Canada NewsWire, TORONTO, July 26

TORONTO, July 26 /CNW/ – After launching an all-new roomier and more powerful Legacy to great acclaim in 2010, Subaru adds more choices for the 2011 model year with new features and options that let drivers create the Legacy that best suits their needs.

Named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Editor’s Choice in the Family Car category by World of Wheels Magazine and Best Midsize Car in the Automotive Leasing Guide Canadian Residual Value Awards, Subaru has further enhanced the Legacy for the new model year with:

• Folding side-view mirrors, now standard on every Legacy sold in Canada
• A new Convenience Package for the Legacy 2.5i, including a voice-activated Bluetooth(R) system for hands-free cell phone connectivity,10-way power driver’s seat, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and a sporty stainless steel exhaust tip
• PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) technology, available on the 2.5i Convenience Package with the Lineartronic(R) Continuously Variable Transmission
• The addition of front fog lights to the 2.5i Sport Package
• Simulated carbon-fibre interior trim, aluminum alloy sport pedals,front fog lights, and silver upholstery stitching added to the Legacy 2.5GT

Legacy continues to be offered in three exceptional trim levels: the 170-horsepower 2.5i, which can be fitted with either a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) or optional Lineartronic(R) CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with paddle shift controls; the 265-horsepower turbo-charged 2.5GT with 6-speed manual transmission; and the 256-horsepower 6-cylinder 3.6R with 5-speed Electronic Direct Control Automatic Transmission with Manual Mode (5EAT), blipping control, and paddle shift controls.

Like all Subaru models, every Legacy is equipped with Symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive, an invaluable performance- and safety-enhancing system that sets Legacy apart among midsize sedans. All-wheel drive is rare in the midsize segment, and only Subaru makes it standard on every model it offers.

Besting Midsize Benchmarks

The long wheelbase and wide track put Legacy squarely in the midsize segment while retaining a taut, highly maneuverable package. Legacy offers more total passenger room (2.91 cubic metres or 103 cu. ft.) than many competitors with more hip, shoulder, and head room as well as a large trunk (.416 cubic metres or 14.7 cu. ft.). By itself, achieving a large trunk is significant, since the Legacy’s AWD layout requires packaging a rear differential and drive axles. In fact, Parents magazine cited Legacy’s “roomy back seat and a trunk that is perfect for stroller-toting moms and dads” as factors in its selection as a top family vehicle.

Confident, Agile Handling and Safety for any Road … or any Weather

All Legacy models are equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), which combines stability and traction control capability. Every Legacy is also equipped with a standard 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and the Brake Assist safety system.

Comfort and Convenience in All Models

Standard comfort and available amenities for the Legacy 2.5i include steering wheel audio control buttons, electronic parking brake, automatic headlights, and an overhead console with a holder for sunglasses. The driver-selectable Hill Holder System holds the vehicle in place on grades greater than 5 percent until the driver applies the throttle to pull away from a stop.

The turbo-charged 2.5GT offers performance enhancements such as twin steel-tipped exhaust pipes, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Summer Performance tires on 18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels, as well as amenities such as a power moonroof, leather seating surfaces, 4-way power front passenger seat, premium harman/kardon audio system, voice-activated navigation with rear-view camera, voice-activated Bluetooth, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector.

The extremely well-equipped Legacy 3.6R is uniquely fitted with P225/50 R17 Bridgestone Turanza all-season tires fitted to 10-spoke alloy wheels. For even more well-equipped performance, both the 2.5i and the 3.6R may be fitted with Sport and Limited option packages, and Limited models may be further enhanced with a Multimedia package.

Three Levels of Engine Performance

Legacy offers three levels of performance. The Legacy 2.5i is powered by a 170-horsepower 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. The Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with Manual Mode is standard on the Convenience and Limited Packages and optional on the 2.5i and 2.5i Sport Package. Both transmissions help to improve acceleration, response and fuel economy. Legacy 2.5i models equipped with the CVT transmission offer an outstanding 9.1 L/100 km city/6.4 L/100 km highway rating.

The Legacy 2.5GT is powered by a 265-horsepower turbocharged/intercooled Subaru Boxer engine. This high-performance turbocharged engine is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. Designed for the discerning enthusiast, the Legacy 2.5GT is equipped to challenge some of the best names in the sport sedan field.

The Legacy 3.6R offers a sophisticated blend of performance and comfort, powered by a 256-horsepower 3.6-litre 6-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine matched to a 5-speed electronic automatic transmission with Manual Mode and blipping control for smooth downshifts, and uses regular-grade fuel.

Subaru’s Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

Subaru has adopted a chain-type CVT, the world’s first longitudinally mounted CVT system for AWD production vehicles. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission, which uses fixed gear ratios, a CVT provides infinite variability between the lowest and highest available ratios with no discernable steps or shifts. The CVT continuously and smoothly adapts to performance demand, helping to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range for improved fuel economy and performance.

Because a CVT does not shift gears, the driver enjoys smoother performance in all driving situations. The selectable Manual Mode of the Lineartronic CVT uses six pre-selected ratios to allow the driver to “shift” manually using steering wheel paddle controls.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive – The Subaru Advantage

Subaru offers three different Symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive systems in the 2011 Legacy line – Continuous, Active Torque Split, and Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) – each tailored to the engine and type of transmission. In all Legacy models equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, the Continuous AWD system uses a viscous-coupling locking centre differential to distribute power 50/50 front to rear. Slippage at either set of wheels will send more power to the opposite set.

Legacy 2.5i models equipped with the Lineartronic CVT use the Active Torque Split version of Symmetrical AWD. An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively controls power distribution in response to driving conditions.

Legacy 3.6R models exclusively feature advanced Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) All-Wheel Drive with a 5-speed automatic transmission. A planetary centre differential works with an electronically controlled continuously variable hydraulic transfer clutch to manage power distribution. The VTD system normally sends more power to the rear wheels to enhance handling agility, and it continuously adjusts power distribution in response to driving and road conditions.

The Subaru Safety Story

The Legacy, like all Subaru models, has consistently earned top scores in government and insurance industry crash tests. Subaru’s Advanced Ring-Shaped Frame Reinforcement safety structure, proven over a decade in all Subaru models, forms the foundation for crash protection and occupant safety. The 2011 Legacy features greater use of high-tensile steel to keep weight gain low despite the much larger interior package.

Legacy’s standard equipment includes front seat-mounted side impact air bags and side curtain air bags that offer head protection for front and rear occupants. Legacy models are also equipped with the Subaru Advanced Frontal Airbag System. This intelligent air bag system employs dual-stage-deployment driver and front passenger air bags. The passenger side front seat incorporates an occupant detection module that classifies the seat as empty or the occupant as an adult or infant/child to control the force of air bag deployment.

Beacuse my car is infiniti j30 which is FR(Front engine, Rear drive). I just worry about the winter here, I always ask myself a question that could I have a safty winter? So I find some informations maybe could help me. however, I can not sure because I never tried. anyway, I post here, and maybe someone will be need. this one from here

Most luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are rear-wheel drive. In normal road conditions, rear-wheel drive vehicles have the benefits of better handling and feel, as the front wheels handle the steering and the rear wheels handle the propulsion. However, rear-wheel drive vehicles are notorious for poor traction in snow. Thus, require special handling in winter weather. Read on to learn more.

Step 1 Prepare your vehicle for winter conditions. Snow tires and chains may be appropriate for blizzard conditions; in fact, some areas require them.
Step 2 Slow your vehicle down. Whether you drive a rear-wheel muscle car or a hulking SUV, no safety system is going to keep a sliding car from leaving the road or striking another object.
Step 3 Drive defensively. Increase the distance between you and the car in front of you by allowing four car lengths for every 10 mph you drive. Approach intersections carefully, watching for cars unable to stop for their red lights.
Step 4 Approach corners slowly to make sure you can make the turn safely. Brake smoothly as you enter the corner, allowing all four wheels to maintain their grip on the road. Rapid braking followed by over-correcting in the corner causes spinning wheels.
Step 5 Practice steering, braking and accelerating your vehicle gently. The way you manipulate your rear-wheel drive’s controls in normal weather conditions is too jerky for snow-covered roads.
Step 6 Know where the bulk of your vehicle’s weight resides. The greatest traction occurs when the powered wheels carry the bulk of the vehicle’s weight. Rear-wheel drive cars tend to lose traction and skid in slippery conditions, and benefit from traction control systems.
Step 7 Consider taking a driving course to practice controlled skids. Most people’s instincts cause them to brake and steer away from the skid. You must steer into the skid and accelerate gently to regain control of the rear-wheel drive vehicle. This feels unnatural and demands practice under controlled conditions.

After a while you have to start wondering if you’re with auto Insurance premiums will ever reduce it, and stop increasing. I know we all just sit and wait year after year hoping it will just happen. I don’t think we can take for granted that just because we are good drivers that it will happen automatically. We have to take the initiative and start the process of reducing premiums ourselves. However, this may not happen as quickly as you would hope for if you live in a major city like New York City or Philadelphia.

First, always compare the cheap insurance rate you think you have. Just because you currently have a policy in place that doesn’t mean that you have to stay wit that policy. There are no repercussions to changing policies to get a better rate that can save you money. Insurance carriers are just as eager to have your business. The only stipulation is that you must make a change while your current policy is still in effect.

Second, the renewal discount is probably the most common of the rate reduction that people wait for with auto insurance premiums. This can obviously differ from state to state. You can always compare auto insurance rates whenever you feel the need. By comparing insurance companies you can guarantee yourself that your rate is in line with other is your area. It is common for auto insurance companies to offer a discount for renewing your policy after 12 months. This greatly depends on your driving history within that time frame and the amount, if any, moving violations or citations.

Third, for example, with New York City Auto Insurance or Philadelphia Auto Insurance companies, if you do keep a good driving record within that time frame this kind of discount is given automatically to the insured and requires no action on their behalf. The renewal price reduction can vary from city to city. If you so happen to live in Philadelphia or New York City obviously you’re going to remain at a higher rate than that of someone living in the suburbs of those cities.

This is in part of the high risk of accidents from many people on the roads. If you’ve ever wondered just what exactly is a common number to expect if you have the privilege of receiving a rate reduction? The amount is usually in the range of 5 percent which could vary.

This may not seem much right now but as time goes by and your well into several years of paying a high premium it can be among a few others which can quickly add up to make a difference. You may not be aware of this widely expected discount from young drivers; this is typically not expected until they arrive at the age of 25. This may not always be something to look forward to since not all insurers offer this discount.

That is why it so vital to always take the liberty of shopping around to compare rates and services from auto Insurance companies to get yourself a cheaper rate. It can be possible you just have to take the initiative and start the process yourself. It is said that most insurance companies base their rates on your driving record not your age as much. If this is true then work hard at making sure your squeaky clean driving record stays that way to keep your rates low. Always shop around and compare rates no mater where you live.

Whether you drive a two-seat hybrid or a three-ton SUV, chances are you can squeeze a bit more distance out of each gallon of fuel — and at today’s gas prices, an improvement of just one or two miles per gallon (MPG) can really add up. These ten fuel saving tips have served me well over the years, and they can help you improve your car’s fuel economy and take some of the sting out of high fuel prices. Most of these tips will give you a very slight increase in MPG — but use several together and the gas mileage improvements will really add up.
1. Slow down
One of the best ways to save gas is to simply reduce your speed. As speed increases, fuel economy decreases exponentially. If you one of the “ten-over on the freeway” set, try driving the speed limit for a few days. You’ll save a lot of fuel and your journey won’t take much longer. (Just be sure you keep to the right, so you won’t impede the less-enlightened.)

2. Check your tire pressure
Under-inflated tires are one of the most commonly ignored causes of crummy MPG. Tires lose air due to time (about 1 psi per month) and temperature (1 psi for every 10 degree drop); under-inflated tires have more rolling resistance, which means you need to burn more gas to keep your car moving. Buy a reliable tire gauge and check your tires at least once a month. Be sure to check them when they are cold, since driving the car warms up the tires along with the air inside them, which increases pressure and gives a falsely high reading. Use the inflation pressures shown in the owner’s manual or on the data plate in the driver’s door jamb.
3. Check your air filter
A dirty air filter restricts the flow of air into the engine, which harms performance and economy. Air filters are easy to check and change; remove the filter and hold it up to the sun. If you can’t see light coming through it, you need a new one. Consider a K&N or similar “permanent” filter which is cleaned rather than changed; they are much less restrictive than throw-away paper filters, plus they’re better for the environment.
4. Accelerate with care
Jack-rabbit starts are an obvious fuel-waster — but that doesn’t mean you should crawl away from every light. If you drive an automatic, accelerate moderately so the transmission can shift up into the higher gears. Stick-shifters should shift early to keep the revs down, but don’t lug the engine — downshift if you need to accelerate. Keep an eye well down the road for potential slowdowns. If you accelerate to speed then have to brake right away, that’s wasted fuel.
5. Hang with the trucks
Ever notice how, in bad traffic jams, cars seem to constantly speed up and slow down, while trucks tend to roll along at the same leisurely pace? A constant speed keeps shifting to a minimum — important to those who have to wrangle with those ten-speed truck transmissions — but it also aids economy, as it takes much more fuel to get a vehicle moving than it does to keep it moving. Rolling with the big rigs saves fuel (and aggravation).
6. Get back to nature
Consider shutting off the air conditioner, opening the windows and enjoying the breeze. It may be a tad warmer, but at lower speeds you’ll save fuel. That said, at higher speeds the A/C may be more efficient than the wind resistance from open windows and sunroof. If I’m going someplace where arriving sweaty and smelly could be a problem, I bring an extra shirt and leave early so I’ll have time for a quick change.
7. Back off the bling
New wheels and tires may look cool, and they can certainly improve handling. But if they are wider than the stock tires, chances are they’ll create more rolling resistance and decrease fuel economy. If you upgrade your wheels and tires, keep the old ones. I have fancy sport rims and aggressive tires on my own car, but I keep the stock wheels with a good narrower-tread performance tire in the garage. For long road trips, the stock wheels give a smoother ride and better economy.
8. Clean out your car
If you’re the type who takes a leisurely attitude towards car cleanliness — and I definitely fall into that category — periodically go through your car and see what can be tossed out or brought into the house. It doesn’t take much to acquire an extra 40 or 50 lbs. of stuff, and the more weight your car has to lug around, the more fuel it burns.
9. Downsize
If you’re shopping for a new car, it’s time to re-evaluate how much car you really need. Smaller cars are inherently more fuel-efficient, and today’s small cars are roomier than ever — one of my favorite subcompacts, the Nissan Versa, has so much interior room that the EPA classifies it as a mid-size. Worried about crash protection? The automakers are designing their small cars to survive crashes with bigger vehicles, and safety features like side-curtain airbags and electronic stability control are becoming commonplace in smaller cars.
10. Don’t drive
Not a popular thing to say on a car site, I know, but the fact is that if you can avoid driving, you’ll save gas. Take the train, carpool, and consolidate your shopping trips. Walking or biking is good for your wallet and your health. And before you get in your car, always ask yourself: “Is this trip really necessary?”

Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems are becoming popular options not only for SUVs, but cars as well. All SUVs and pickup trucks offer 4WD or AWD systems, and even some compact cars, like the Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Matrix, offer available AWD systems. Oftentimes, more than one system is available for any given vehicle, leaving consumers puzzled.

With so many options to choose from, it’s easy for drivers to get confused by a barrage of acronyms, each more meaningless than the last. For most shoppers, there are three basic options: Full-time 4WD, part-time 4WD, or AWD. Although each system has its own merits, one thing is certain–any 4WD system will make your vehicle less fuel efficient and more complicated to repair and maintain. In many situations, it’ll also add quite a few dollars to your vehicle’s purchase price.

On the other hand, with 4WD you are less likely to get stuck in snow or mud. Most consumers want 4WD because it adds a measure of security to a vehicle, but finding out and deciding which system is right for you is both an important and complex job. Choose wisely.

Part-time 4WD

This most basic system provides a choice of settings that can be changed depending on your driving situation, but cannot be left engaged on dry pavement. If it is, the transfer case will wear, resulting in mechanical damage. The settings range from 2WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low. In vehicles that have part-time 4WD, each of the four wheels constantly gets 25 percent of the torque to prevent wheelspin when in the High or Low setting.

In newer models, the driver can shift from 2WD to 4WD High while driving, but must come to a complete stop to shift into the 4WD Low setting. 4WD Low should only be engaged in extreme off-road situations. One drawback of part-time 4WD is that it must be continually engaged and then disengaged in conditions of light rain or snow. This type of system is best for people who really don’t need 4WD, but occasionally go off-roading and want a little extra security when it snows.

Full-time 4WD

Unlike part-time 4WD, full-time 4WD is just that–a system that can continually remain operating. This more advanced, convenient form of 4WD allows you to choose between all of the same settings, but can remain engaged while on dry pavement. Added to the High and Low settings is an automatic or full-time 4WD setting. As with part-time 4WD, the shift from High to Low must be made during a complete stop on most vehicles. Full-time 4WD is best for people who regularly drive in slippery conditions where constant shifting between 2WD and 4WD can become tedious.

All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive is similar to full-time 4WD in that the system is always sending power to the wheels, but AWD has no 2WD switch. It is always operating in 4WD mode. When the road gets slippery, the AWD system locks the axles and automatically distributes power to all four of the wheels. In many cases, AWD vehicles have no on/off switch. Some AWD systems are more rugged than others, though most can’t be taken into extreme off-road situations. If the AWD system allows the driver to switch to a “low” range gearing setting, like in the Dodge Durango and Toyota 4Runner, then it is probably intended for severe off-road use. AWD systems work well in cars and crossover vehicles because they don’t add much weight and make them true all-weather vehicles.

Safety Misconceptions

While 4WD and AWD may maximize traction better than 2WD, that doesn’t necessarily translate into making it a safer vehicle. Oftentimes, drivers believe that because they can accelerate in snow just as quickly as on dry roads, they can do the same in terms of cornering and braking. On the contrary, 4WD and AWD do little to aid in cornering and nothing for braking ability on wet, snowy roads. Once moving, the physics of 2WD, 4WD, and AWD systems are pretty much the same. Rather than rely on AWD or 4WD, it’s a better idea to think of them as an insurance policy that’s there when you need it.

For most consumers, a set of quality all-season tires is a less-expensive alternative to pricey and complex all-wheel-drive systems. Even the most advanced 4WD vehicle will be left spinning its wheels in the snow if the wheels are shod with performance or touring tires.

Take a look at what kind of driving you normally do. Once you determine what type of vehicle best suits your needs, you can assess what type of system you need to get the job done. In some cases it may simply be 2WD with snow tires. In others, you may want to consider a more robust 4WD system with a low-range option.
