Recommended Posts

Co-worker had to take his 04' Impreza in for some work at the local Subaru dealership so they gave him a loaner car...oh and what a loaner car they gave him. Woot! an 05 Legacy GT 2.5 Turbo, and I got to take it for a spin...OMG I tell ya almost makes me want to go out and take a car loan and move myself over to the new gen forum..this car was so damn FAST and handled so well it was incredible. Subaru defintely impressed me with this car. Will almost be sad to climb back into the RX tonight after work...proof is in the terrible pics taken with my cell phone..

After reading this all the way....this will come across sounding like im INSANE....but i would realisticly NEVER own a 2.5 GT....unless its for stricky daily driving (thats if someone GAVE it to me)or just to have it in the garage to say "yeah, ive got one."

 

Why? My RX handles better, and its almost as fast...I drove the Legacy GT at a ride and drive at the SE SUby challange...the only thing I was impressed with was the transmission, and even then i was dissapointed that the shifter in the center console was BACKWARDS!! :banghead:

 

Anyhow...basically i dont trust the new legacys because they are 55% or so US content and assembled. Only Impreza and Forester for me. I know the 2nd gen Legacys are great tho...3rd gen..ok...4th gen...im waiting.
