sheps58 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I took a test drive of an 07 legacy. I like it. Is it fair to compare the Legacy to the A4? Which car will prove more durable? A Saab 93 was the most fun to drive but not AWD and not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheps58 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 I want a little more passing power. How are the seats for long drives? I may invest in the Turbo model. The legacy seems solid, My sons 98 Outback legacy is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 if you compared the 2.5i to the A4, you didn't do your homework. hop in the GT. think you'll be happy. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Drive the Legacy GT and you will think the turbo fell out of that Audi 2.0T that you test drove For the money, the LGT outperforms the 3 Series and the A4. The level of luxury you need is of course your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Here is a link to an article comparing a LGT that had some work done by RalliTek against an Audi S4. The summary is that the LGT spanked the S4 on everything but interior fit and finish. The joke was that you could buy 2 RalliTek modded LGTs for the price on the flagship (at the time) S4. How can the A4 compare to the LGT when the S4 can't keep up. Also believe that the A4 has a price tag about $10,000+ higher than the LGT??? http://drivingsports.com/mag/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawl Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 the current s4 has a 0-60 in the mid 5's. i did that with just an accessport, first time i ever went out launching. AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO LAUNCH. something to mull over. passing power-get the GT. car for sale. PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 uh..it was the rallitek moded LGT that the stock S4 couldnt keep up with, not the stock LGT Yeah are we talking about a modified car vs a stock car? What a stupid comparison. the current s4 has a 0-60 in the mid 5's. i did that with just an accessport, first time i ever went out launching. AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO LAUNCH. something to mull over. passing power-get the GT. And what does passing power have to do with launch ability?

MangoGT Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Compare the Legacy GT to the A4 2.0T. (The 2.5i isn't a fair comparison). This Road and Track article is a nice summary: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=3280 In summary: Legacy Spec. B (same power as GT) out performs the Audi A4, but the A4 won in subjective measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 you simply cannot compare a 2.5i to any of the cars listed above. not even close or similar except it has AWD. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKLGT Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 LMAO.... they no longer offer AWD in teh vibe. and no, the 2.5i will still smoke the pants of the newer Vibes they offer. each year, they made them slower and more boring than the previous. Which is why i had the first 03 GT version and we sold the 04 base model and bought the 05 LGT and 07 STI. it's not fair to compare them to the newer vehicles that sit in our garage. 2.5i i didn't even bother to test drive.

dmg3 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 LGT - better driving fun, power and handling A4 - better interior fit/finish/comfort/luxuries I didn't find any comfort in the non sport A4, I thought the ride was jiggly, noisy on the highway, more confined interior. The Subaru (i.e., Spec b.) has really come a long way and feels very substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonts Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yeah are we talking about a modified car vs a stock car? What a stupid comparison. And what does passing power have to do with launch ability? Actually ... the comparison is on price. One could buy a LGT and do the equivalent RalliTek modifications and end up at the same final price as an A4. You could buy 2 of those vehicles for the price of an S4. Why would somebody consider buying the performance of an A4 for the same price as the RalliTek LGT when the LGT even outperforms the S4. I didn't realize that I would have to post a diagram to make my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
