Thoughts on 3.6R Limited in black.

We have a 2010 2.5GT Limited and are strongly considering buying a 3.6R Limited. Just want to see if anyone has one and what their thoughts are about it please.

Did you try doing a search of the forum?

I think the new styling for the fog lights and the new grille looks fantastic now compared to previous years. Get the new sporty trunk lip!

^^^. She definitely wants the new spoiler on it. Will be hitting the dealership up tomorrow and see how it drives.

What a nice ride. I’m also looking at the 18 3.6 coincidentally also in Black. Are you having problems with the GT? I am probably going to factory order mine.

Same. Most likely going with black and I have to factory order mine, because there's not a single one with black interior and Eyesight in my entire state.

 

Boggles my mind that tan/ivory is the go-to.

I managed to find a black/black '16 which is now mine.

We only want black on black as we’ve done the “ tan interior “ thing already. As far as what’s wrong with our GT,nothing. It’s just it’s a six speed and that shifting thing is getting old lol.

Don't tempt me with that GT. That sounds like a ton of fun. Just out of curiosity, how many miles are on that thing?

 

I was/am a little skeptical of the longevity of the CVT after the whole warranty extension thing happened last year, and was planning on getting rid of my 11 OB before 100k anyway... I'm no stranger to a MT, I was actually looking at getting a Foz or Crosstrek Premium because it had the 6MT feature... Unfortunately I live about 10 miles west of NYC and the traffic is, at a minimum, devastating.

 

Yeah, black/black is my go-to color combo. Something so refined and sleek and timeless about it. My 09 Legacy was Black/Black.

^^^. As long as black is kept detailed, it’s on point lol. Our GT has 113,000 miles on her and has always been dealer serviced even when out of warranty. This is due to the fact that I wanted all oem parts installed as opposed to parts that just fit. We just had the engine pulled and all gaskets as well as the clutch parts replaced and or serviced. That was a $3300.00 job, but for peace of mind to me well worth it.

Also when we do post it for official sale, it will come with (2)sets of wheels. Summer high performance tires with wheels containing all tmps sensors, as well as the winter tires ( Bridgestone Blizzaks ) which also have tmps sensors. It will come with (2) sets of mats and several nib parts that we never installed.

Here’s how it looked with our Nameless exhaust that will also come with it.

I have one, had it ~two weeks, I'm happy with it...it's nice and warm when I get in the car after it's been out in the sun all day.

 

Then again it's the middle of winter...ask me how happy I am with an all black car with a black leather interior when it's summer

Literally drooling right now. I’m in the north part of the state, might have to take a serious look at this one when you list it.

Also not to keep teasing, but I was in my basement and I also have the oem factory lights that came with it. What’s installed are the 2013 appearance headlights.

Just my opinion, but I would never buy a black car again. My experience is that black is the worst color for showing dirt and constantly needs cleaning or wiping. I had a black Honda for a while and it was a real PITA keeping it looking clean.

I have a 2017 3.6 ,around here there are a lot of hills so it's nice to have the power .

Yeah, my Legacy was also Black/Black. Was a lot of maintenance to keep it looking good, but to me, it was worth it!

Black is the hardest to keep clean and shows just about any defect, but it hands down looks the best when it's properly cleaned, clayed, polished, and waxed over any other color (imo). It's a trade off.

 

Also, fwiw, if you get a black/black Legacy, get some protective film pieces for the door panels. They show scuff marks from shoes really easily. I wish I had done it when I got mine.

Certainly can relate to that. I'm not at all disappointing with the H6 and new CVT in our OB. Just enough refinement has been added to keep us in the camp. If the Legacy offers the acoustic glass it's well worth it IMHO.

Happy Hunting.

Thank you, they don’t have black ones around my area, only the blue and the red. So I’ve scheduled a ride on Tuesday just to see if this is really for us.

I drove 120 miles one way to get mine. It’s well worth it

My one car I purchased online and had it shipped to my home. Sadly it only lasted (2) days before being crushed by the trash truck.

I've heard of a few people custom-tuning the H6 on the SubaruOutback.org forums to run on 91/93 and the thing really roars to life.

I recently used Griot's synthetic clay kit. I think it was around $20 at the local Auto store before coupon, and it worked really well.

Chicago Auto Show is in 2 weeks. Curious to see if they announce the fate of the 3.6R here; last year, this is where they announced the 2018 Legacy details and in the past few years this is when they offer up information on changes.

 

Get ready to do a factory order if necessary if you truly want the 3.6!
