mr.e-pants Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi, im thinking about selling my truck and definitely want a subaru. I'm trying to decide between a wrx and a legacy. Anyway, i was just wondering what i should look for and any pointers. If you could buy your car over again what would you pass on and what would you buy instantly. thanks for any input.

foxrider68 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 If you're comparing a WRX and a Legacy get a Legacy GT and then you've got both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipsterDoofus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Im quite happy with my car. if i were an 18 year old douche, than I would consider a WRB WRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I love my 05 wagon, and the Spec B wasnt available then.... If I had to replace my car with another Legacy it would be a 2007 Spec B. By 07 they changed around enough things to really make it shine over the 05s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanjk3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 To bad they never made a SpecB wagon. We never got the 3.0R Legacy wagon either. Dunno what took them so long to put the H6 in the Legacy, it's been in the Outback since 2001. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 definitely happy with my 08 LGT with leather and all the goods...but if i had to do it all over again...i would get an 09-09 OBXT because i am know to making sleeper cars super fast...bwahahaha... the legacy gt is not much of a sleeper..but i still love when some american muscle or expensive european cars try and pull up next to me and try to pass me up..i press S# and look in my rear view well at least some people may think that its not all that fast...little do they know...i guess it is a sleeper...especially its the old man car color..so my friends and family say teasing me..dark bronze metallic did grow on me surprisingly... on another note with my gf...talked her out of a ralliart sportback lancer...and she did get the 11 legacy premium..its more of a practical car...and if she want turbo she can ride with me...SUBIE FAMILY...that makes 4 in our family...2 STI's and 2 legacies... =) Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvaman61 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 ^ LGTs are definetly sleepers. maybe not as much as an OBXT, but sleepers still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnacko23 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Only thing I would have done differently was get my LGT sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegGTLT Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The only thing I would have done differently is to make my '05 LGT into a spec.B sooner than I did. From Feb. when I finally jumped all in. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/3245/img4225r.jpg Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

blackbeltbenji Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Bought my 2010 Legacy 2.5i Premium in Aug 2010. I wanted the 3.6R Limited, but just couldn't afford it.....then 6 months later I got a promotion, and could afford it, wouldn't ya know it? So, if I could do it again, I'd go 3.6R Limited. Maybe when my wife is ready to trade up from her 2008 Impreza 2.5i, I'll get her the 3.6R Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
