Taking deliver of your car in Colorado sure teaches you how to properly use all your gears to pass in this car, that's for sure. It was a hell of a change of pace from a few years of owning LSx motors with "4th gear is for everything".

In my Outback (2.5i, 2007), loaded down with a few other people and all our ski gear, I have to use 3rd climbing up I-70 from Silverthorne to the Eisenhower tunnel. 4th gear floored isn't enough to keep speed, due to the steepness of the hill and the altitude. Every time I take a road trip to sea level though, I'm pleasantly surprised
