dgoodhue Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 As we all know, the US/CA 5th Gen Legacy 2.5GT was discontinued after 2012. In the refreshed 5th Gen Legacy GT, Japan got the FA20DIT with HTCVT. Was this the case for the rest the world where Subaru sold the Legacy GT? Did any other market get a EJ255 Turbo option for 2013 or 2014? If the US did not discontinue the LGT, would have we gotten the FA20DIT with a likely HTCVT in 2013 & 2014?

Humble Rumble Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The short answer is yes. Mexico even has the 2013+ DIT. The 6MT Legacy was completely discontinued worldwide in 2012, so all 2013+ turbo 5th gens are the FA20DIT with HTCVT. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Dunno about the rest of the world but our 2013-up cars had the same EJ255/5EAT as the pre-refresh ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moral hazard Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Same with Australia, ej25 and 5eat combo 2013 to 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Huh, learned something today. Guess I was mistaken. It is still accurate that the 6MT was discontinued worldwide in 2012 though, even in Japan. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laufu Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Japan sold the Legacy 2.5GT with the 5EAT along side the Legacy 2.0GT DIT as a less expensive model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they killed the GT in '12 in the US, that's true - they kept it in other trims until MY15 in the US, anyway. (both the 2013 and 2014 Legacy 2.5i was available with a manual) The manual was offered in 2015 in Canada, not sure about after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just referring to 6MT LGT's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah, I was referring to turbo 6MT models. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
