Psirene Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm looking to trade out my '11 WRX Limited for a new Legacy, due to health issues (can't clutch anymore). I've been doing some research, but can't find anything solid yet... Should I wait for the 2016 Legacy? Most of what I've been able to find is wish lists and reports from 2014. It needs to be at least as responsive as my husband's Crosstrek. I've got some particulars (dark interior, not leather, heated seats, moonroof, dark color), but other than that, I'm not yet too picky. Can anyone point me to some sort of comparison list of 2015 vs 2016? I also read something about a turbo or GT model coming out mid-2015, but it was unclear if it was a late release for the 2015, or if it was for 2016. With the 2015 being a new generation, logic says 2016 will be a little more refined. But I'm really not sure if that's actually the case. Thoughts?

Ellesedil Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Is there a reason you haven't considered a brand new WRX? They come in flavors with CVTs nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 2016 information has not been released. No turbo model has been confirmed, only a rumor from a year ago. I would say a Legacy GT is a long shot for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psirene Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good point about the new WRX. I plan on test driving one. They're just so horribly ugly though. It's gonna have to be amazing to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslaya Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I heard orders for the 2016 legacy will be available early june. no info is available yet as for your requirements, only the 2.5i comes in cloth. and a 2.5i will be significantly less exciting and fast than a WRX. the 3.6r has all the other things you want, plus it will still have power similar to your current WRX. as of now there is no confirmation or hints of the turbo model returning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I say go test drive it. The 6th gen 2.5 has a good refined engine and cvt. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psirene Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah, I'm definitely going to drive a few different cars/versions. I have leather in my WRX right now. I also live in Phoenix. Leather is a little miserable in the summer. It just holds the heat like mad, and it doesn't matter how high you turn the AC. Granted, most times I have the seat heater on (in the mornings, omg my best friend), but still, when it's 110+ outside... ick. Husband's cloth-seated Crosstrek fares a little better. I've heard great things about the new WRX, so I'll give it a go. Get it in black... everything looks better in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
