I have a friend who insists 2005+ Legacy's are just too damn heavy. I, for one, welcome the increased luxury items as a trade off, but it got me thinking...how much do we weigh exactly?


I know spec, transmission and trim level matter, so I'll put mine down and hopefully someone else can chime in with their experience.

I've seen stuff online varying between 3400lbs and 3700lbs.


Anyways, 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Limited.


How much do I weigh?

I wonder what the weight distribution is on this car.

On my old 1990 Volvo 740, I had the car weighed at a government facility, and it gave my weight distro as 55/45 front/rear, approx 3200 lbs total, which was pretty surprising.

I'll dig out my corner-balance spec sheet later. I want to say it was 11xx lbs on each front wheel and 950ish lbs per rear wheel after it was balanced w/ me in it and full tank of petrol. This is with a rediculous 46lb/wheel & tire combo.

So 3580 - 210 = 3370... and 15 lbs of gasoline is approximately 91.1 lbs (density is 6.073lbs/gal), so about 3278 lbs completely empty. Not bad at all.
