Quick thought, now that some of our cars are 15 years old (and by next time they are inspected, 16) does that mean we are emissions exempt? In July, my car didn't have emissions done, only safety. And if emissions is checked is it just OBDII or tail pipe? I am new to Mass so not too familiar with the laws

OBDII and safety. Rolling 15 years on emissions however I believe you can't remove emission equipment such as a cat.. You can Google RMV Mass for more info..

I like the 2015 for a few reasons. It's (IMO) the best looking model that Subaru has made to date. It doesn't feel like a Subaru - going over bumps, you barely feel it even with 18" wheels. The Harman Kardon sound system for 2015+ is the best audio system to date.

 

I dislike that it still feels cheap, like an Impreza. The paint is still paper thin and super sensitive. The CVT takes away a lot from the 2.5L, but it makes up for it in MPGs. I was getting 32mpg for the first 2k I've owned it, but has risen to 34-36mpg recently.

Thanks for replying! I recently did a trip to northern NH and cruised much of the time at 75 MPH.. I averaged 35 MPG on that tank of fuel and drove 600 miles before the low fuel light came on! That is excellent for a mid sized car with full time AWD and 2.5 liter engine.. I agree the Legacy gives a nice ride and i like the climate control and eyesight package too.. The premium model stereo is good but the speakers could be much better.. Think if decent speakers were installed it wouldn't be too bad..

We are very frequently in MA tuning at Enhanced Street Performance !! Mike's also originally from MA.

Curious would tuning void my factory warranty?

The last time Fitchburg was mentioned in this thread was 2010. Time for a bump for Fitchburg!

 

I'm on my fifth Legacy.

1) 1998 Legacy GT w/turbo kit

2) 2000 Legacy GT #1

3) 2000 Legacy GT #2

4) 2005 Legacy GT sedan

5) 2015 Legacy 2.5i Limited (current)

WOW interested to hear how you like your 2015..

Wow, it actually was in the service manual:

 

3. CUTOFF FUNCTION

The warning given after 6 seconds since the ignition switch is turned ON, and the warning function that activates when the seat belt is unfastened while driving can be optionally cut off. The cutoff function is common for both the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat, and can be set with the driver’s seat buckle switch.

Temporary (TEMP) cutoff

1) How to cut: Repeat fastening and unfastening the driver’s seat belt for 3 times within 6 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON. (The setting is changed for both the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat.)

2) Setting lasts: While the ignition switch is turned ON until it is turned OFF. (The cutoff function is canceled when the ignition switch is once turned OFF.)

 

Permanent cutoff

1) How to cut: Repeat fastening and unfastening the driver’s seat belt for 20 times within 30 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON. Enabling and disabling cutting is done with the same operation.

(The setting is changed for both the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat.)

 

2) Setting lasts: Until the microprocessor is reset*.

 

The cutoff function is reset when the battery is removed (battery positive terminal disconnected) or when the body integrated unit is removed. The cutting function may also be reset when the engine is cranked with low battery voltage.

Will this information apply to a 2016 Legacy? I always wear my seat belt but like to remove it when in parking lots etc. and it turns on at such low speeds!

Thanks,

Ray

What wheels are these? They look awesome!

I believe those come with the limited models.. I like them too..
