EJ25(2.5 litre), DOHC, better tuning than the EJ22 that came standard in most legacys. what else do you want to know about it? non-turbo, i beleive the handling is the same, but might be a bit better than the L's.

Bigger engine and rims. More ground clearance. Most are/were 5-speeds with sunroofs and fog lights. Basically a lighter, less expensive Outback without the, in my opinion, ugly two-tone body panals, fake, hood scoop and lame "Indiana Jones" OUTBACK logo.

 

Oddly enough, it has more room between the tires and the rocker panals for chains than the same-year Outback.

watch the 98's though as that year + early 99 were prone to Head Gasket failure.

 

they are good running, easy driving, good handling cars

but the head gaskets were a bit sad

and if they've not been changed, you are kind of running a gamble with a 98

 

the HG's may go... and they may never go... ;)

hard to say.

 

 

loved my GT and aside from the head gasket issue,

it never gave a lick of problems

(short block, head gaskets replaced at 56k miles)

I think you're thinking of the Legacy Outback Sedan. The 2.5 GT is going to have premium 16" wheels wrapped in a 205/55 .. hood scoop .. moon roof.. probably leather w/ a 6 cd changer... u know.. all the bells and whistles.. used to have one .. loved it .. very safe car.
