SubeeTed Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi all! I totaled my beloved '97 GT Legacy Wgn over a week ago. I love to find another '97-'99 Wgn, I'm finding that difficult to find a good one with a 5 speed. I have never driven a 2000 + GT or plain Legacy with the 2.5 single cam and different body style. Just what are they like compared to the '97-'99's ?? Many thanks, SubeeTed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Much more likely to blow head gaskets. This would be my primary concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergo Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I've got a 2000 Leg. GT wagon. Dunno if the head gaskets blow on these unless the coolant level drops too low but there is coolant seepage from HGs. As long as I keep the coolant reservoir level high, making sure that the coolant level there doesn't get too low, engine cooling is fine....even in hot weather with AC going. I do add the Subaru cooling system conditioner/stop leak, however, in my experience it works for only about 5-6k miles before seepage continues. So keeping reservoir level fairly high is critical.
