lgt_nube Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 For sure. And when you don't need to do that, there's no drawback to having the wagon. The ability is simply there when you need it.

Tsukasa Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have a little question,a outback xt is almost the same thing as a lgt wagon,except the suspension and brake ?? Is there something else ?? I read that the feeling in the steering is not the same ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly it's how you drive and the speed you drive at. rob, the wagon is a 5mt, it normally gets well over 26mpg (dash reading) on that same drive. It's 23 miles on rt103 in VT to RT91 south at exit 6 where we get on. Then its 68-73mph for the next 90 miles. To exit 1 on RT91 in MA, then about 9 miles back roads to my son's house in Somers, CT. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Your welcome, FWIW, I saw a 07 GT wagon in Rutland VT on Saturday. I think its the 1st 07 GT wagon I've seen. It had the 07 wheels on it. It was parked about 10 cars away from my 05. Having a GT wagon is pretty rare. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

freaksavior Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 A friend of mine drives an 350Z with the HR motor and he had to go do laundry. He borrowed my wagon and this happened. http://i.imgur.com/hk6GEO0.jpg I've noticed when taking a turn quickly the back end will carry the weight into the turn so you kinda know what's coming, but with a few mods to the suspension it made the ride and drive a lot better. Later, the guy who borrowed my car said he was pretty surprised what the 2.5 could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I made a offert of 5000k to this guy http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2005-Subaru-Legacy-GT-W0QQAdIdZ556226166 The car as 206 000km on the body,mecanic as only 30000km,the engine was rebuilt after the belt skipped some tooth,tansmission change by subaru,clutch stage one at the same time with fork,bearing and flywheel changed.Brake at the corner rotor and pads have 5000km on them,i told him to keep the summer mags not my style. The negatif is cracker windshield in the lower part,you dont see it from inside,mirror on passenger side the plastic is craked and one rear fender is starting to rust. What do you think ?? And its if it pass the leakdown test and shaftplay inspection. Sorry again for my poor english im on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 You might want to talk with a body shop you trust about getting the rust fixed and the windshield replaced, at least have a idea of the cost. Fix it now before it gets worse, if you plan to keep it for a while. It sounds like a decent price. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Tsukasa Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 He cameback with a counter offer at 6000$ with rust repair so we will see now the inspection at swapshop racing. The fender has no hole its only the paint that start bubbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I miss my wagon, they're awesome! You can't tell the difference between sedan and wagon until you look in the rear view mirror and see all the space you have, all other mods being equal. I wish they made a specB wagon, here at least.
