Taking a Look at Subaru's New SI-Drive

Sidrive_knob

In Joe Wiesenfelder’s review of the 2007 Subaru Outback wagon, he spends some time breaking down how the company’s new SI-Drive works. When I first heard about the feature I thought it sounded like yet another gimmick that an automaker would say changes driving dynamics at a turn of the knob, but in reality there would be no noticeable difference. After I took it for a spin I agreed with Joe that it indeed alters the overall driving experience. 

Besides two different sport settings — one is the default — there is an Intelligent mode that decreases power and torque to help with mileage. Since Subarus have never been the leaders on fuel efficiency – mainly due to their standard all-wheel drive – this is a welcome feature that supposedly boosts mileage by 10%.

Check out Joe’s full review of the 2007 Subaru Outback to find out more about SI-Drive and, of course, what he thought of the rest of the car.
