mastabo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 All I see is GT owners. But Iam not seeing much of regular legacy's. Iam now in the market to buy a new car. Ive posted here about the 06legacy before, but now time passed(wasnt able to get it cause of some reasons). Iam still thinking of either 06 or 07. I checked out fitzmall.com online and they seem to have good deals. You can get like a 07 2.5i limited for around 24k or so. How would you guys compare between the GT and the regular legacys? I would like to have those rush of speed time to time, but i guess its okay not having it. Iam used to driving the 02 altima and that has a pretty good rush to it. How would it compare to the legacy? GT or regular 2.5i I have heard that accord and camrys are out of the question when compared to legacy. So i wont ask anything to do with them. Common all you suburu loving legacy owners, show some support. Also, tips on what to do in the dealer will be appreciated too.(I will go with fitzmall if they are the only one with good deals.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have own both a 05 GT and a 07 2.5i. The 05 was a 5 speed and a blast to drive! Down side was the fake wood, and no aux in radio. The 2.5i is not as fast, but still fun. I have also owned a 03 Altima. I like the 2.5i way better than the Altima. Altima always felt like a boat, and the wheelspin if you decided to step on it on launch was not that great. Interior on the Altima was as cheap as it could get. I love my new 2.5i. The wood looks right to me now, and the AUX input is great. I have a limited version, so I don't have to miss the leather and sunroof since I have that now. It is peppy enough, but nothing to push you back into your seat. Overall I am happy with the 2.5i, but my next car will be another manual with a turbo. You can't go wrong with the 2.5i though. I use strictly 87 gas, and it has never complained. Hope it helps somehow. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I don't mind my 2.5. Coming from a sports car, its noticeably less torque, but I'm not looking for performance. Its a great commuter car, rides nice, good on gas, handles like a dream. If you aren't planning on doing any performance mods, and just want a daily driver, its a good choice. Don't buy the 2.5i, and then ask what you can do to make it faster, because...well there isn't much, and there never will be. I'd hope you can get a better deal than 24k, though.

RaGe Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well you can always check out the NA section on this board. But comparing the difference between the two. we get this alot. It would be nice to have a GT dont get me wrong. but it wasnt in my budget in the time. If you can afford the GT do it. simple as that. The list can be endless as far as performace modifications goes. some will work with the NA's but not all. I can go on forever but the best bet is to go the the NA section and just start reading. You will find alot more information to read than you will know what to do. Only you know what you want and what your wanting to do with your car. If your just wanting a vehicle to go back and forth to work with or you want a little daily driver that you can hot rod. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatadrum Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 you got ripped man, my 07 2.5i limited was around $24,500 i think (I didnt buy it though). I love my car, wish my parents would have gotten the GT though, it sucks not having the power and options of performance mods... , BUT i still love it, it handles amazing, looks spectacular (if you get a 07 check out DGM its gorgeous), you can still do suspension mods, the problem i have is that off the line it sucks at picking up and going, but once you do get up to speed it picks up pretty well, enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iyalla Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have an 05 2.5i wagon. Got it for a shade under 20k with 5 miles on the clock new. It now has 15k, no issues except for the stupid rattling dash and soccer Moms trying to mate their SUV's with the rear of my poor car The car is a daily driver and has been stupid reliable! Accelerates of the line well especially in manual mode. Its fun to go into corners fast and watch the front wheel drive car behind you slow down as their car understeers. The suspension is medium/soft but the AWD almost negates it...almost. The Europeans must love this car on the Autobahn because it seems very at home on the highway and has no problem pushing up past 80. Only negatives are better/wider tires and a little more stiffness in the roll on corners. All can be fixed in the aftermarket Great everyday car. The Big Three wish they can build something this solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongHiway Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 A good DD. Don't have acceleration issues but, I don't try to run with Audi's, BMW's and the like. Never had a problem merging onto the high way or, passing while at speed. I did kick a@@ on a bus the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
