jjou812 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 i'm looking to replace my 90 AT legacy with a later 90s MT legacy or maybe forrester. i test drove a 95 L model AWD MT and was disappointed at the noise and roughness and sluggishness on takeoff compared to hondas and nissans. why is this? is there a year they improved it?

offroadsubaruguy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 the legacy weighs more, and has awd. that would be my geuss as to why the other cars accellerate faster...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 jjou, nice to see a local member. I'm down in Dillsburg IMO, the 95-99 models are slugs compared to the 90-94...at least in acceleration. My friend's 97L AT is horribly slow at the launch compared to my 91L AT. And, we have pretty much the same engine. Are all 4 tires matching on the car? If they aren't, that could cause issues. However, if you're looking for fast, a 95-99 Legacy isn't the way to go (Unless it's a 2.5, but then you have the potential for HG issues). If you want fast, try a late 90's Impreza 2.5 RS. Or, try to find an early 90's Legacy Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
