Perscitus Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 SoUK (and by association all of EU, and wider Europe) get the Levorg. Thanks a lot SoA. Even if its only in the FA16DIT or similar <2.0L FA/FB trims only... At the start of the year, Subaru UK has also announced its exciting new model plans for 2015 which include the launch of the new Outback in March and the all new Levorg sport wagon in the Autumn. http://www.subarumedia.co.uk/release/330/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj808 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yet another reason my next car wont be a Subaru. That twin turbo Explorer is looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 8, 2015 I Donated Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yet another reason my next car wont be a Subaru. That twin turbo Explorer is looking better and better. They're not bringing the Levorg here, so you're getting... something that's much larger and heavier, much higher off the ground, and thus has worse handling?

Still wouldn't buy a Taurus SHO after the experience a co-worker had with hers. She traded it in on a Regal GS before it was out of warranty, which is really saying something.

xt2005bonbon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Another general question about you guys who are owning the wrx... Have you been watching your oil consumption? How much has the engine been using between OCI if any? Just curious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any manual transmission options, and so far I've only seen an FA16DIT option outside of Japan. So close, and yet so far. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

scontivt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I kinda wish that there was a 2015- WRX posting category, as a lot of prior LGT owners are switching to WRXs. Really, it has a near identical interior as the 3rd Gen LGT and almost the same interior and exterior dimensions. Plus, I personally love the content on these pages compared to NASIOC. Anyone else have this thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that, they seem about the same side by side. But they feel the same behind the wheel of each, the WRX does not feel or drive like the smaller Impreza it used to be.

Anyone else have this thought? 3rd gen or 4th gen? It feels very large compared to my 4th... But yes, dimensions say it is like 5" shorter in length, 2" wider, 2" taller, wheelbase is about 1" shorter, and 2" wider track. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb227/aigochamaloh/WRX/DSC_2344_zpsb8478464.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 wow. This picture gives us the impression that the 4th gen is noticeably smaller than the wrx.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aigochamaloh Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 wow. This picture gives us the impression that the 4th gen is noticeably smaller than the wrx.. It really is. When I drive the Legacy once in awhile (it's sitting in the garage waiting for a turbo swap of some sort), it is a noticeable difference when I step into the car. I always think to myself "I don't remember my Legacy being this short." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That's because except for overall length the 4th gen is smaller than the new WRX. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedsubbygt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wonder if the top end power bandwidth of the 4 Gen is stronger than the wrx? I know the bottom end is way stronger in the wrx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think to myself "I don't remember my Legacy being this short." The extra headroom is going to be life-changing when I take this car autocrossing or to the track. I always had to gangsta-lean my seat to fit myself into my Legacys with my helmet on. Now, I'm going to have extra space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldrego Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Question for you guys that upgraded to WRX... were your legacys running stage 2 or stock? If stage 2 and above what's your feelings towards the difference in power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
