Hey people,
New here so hopefully I’ve posted in the right section. I’m hoping for some advice on a future purchase - I’m aware this is a legacy forum but let’s try to be unbiased for a second!
I’ve always been an Impreza nut and they will always be my favourite car, at the moment me and my partner are deciding on a weekend car (I have a work van to use during the week). I’ve been looking at the blobeye wrx - due to road tax and insurance premiums this would be the only option WRX for us at the moment. While pondering I’ve come across the Legacy GT which apparently uses the same EJ20 as the WRX of the same era. Now the legacy looks perfect, as we have a newborn the legacy seems like the better option for creature comforts but still has the go when you want it to.
I’m a bit skeptical as here in the UK the only ones available seem to be the JDM twinscroll in a 5spd auto - what are these like? I would imagine them to be a bit laggy between changes and downshifts? And it might seem daft but I’ve also seen rumours that the twinscroll doesn’t sing the iconic boxer song? There’s no real drawbacks to the WRX for us apart from the legacy seems to have the balance of comfort/power and more lower mileage examples for sale compared to a lot of high mileage WRX’s.
I’d appreciate advice and opinions from you guys here, any ownership experience with this model would be ideal (BP5), auto transmission reviews etc.
