psucaptainkickass Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Im too lazy to read this long thread but i did search earlier, on my car the Legacy logo on the dash is not lit, but I can see it is there, is this just a bulb that is out or a setting or anything else, any information is appreciated Are you talking about the "Legacy" on the tach? That should be lit. If you have an '05 its White. On the '06 I believe it is red (Either the Subaru website still only shows the '05 interior, or I am wrong on this one..about the color of the "Legacy" that is). It should definitely be lit up no questions, it comes on with the gauges. If it is out, you should have it checked out for sure. I have my DRLs disabled and it turns on with the car in morning.

iyalla Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The steering wheel is my biggest complaint in my 2005, it's just plain uncomfortable. I agree. Its just plain shiny slippery vinyl/rubber. If a limited or gt steering of any of the two years comes on the market/junkyard i'm going to see if I can buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The 05 LGT got a nice steering wheel with MOMO on the airbag cover. The 06 LGT Automatic, and Spec B got the same wheel. MOMO was moved from the airbag to the bottom spoke, where it is embossed in the leather. The 05 Manual LGT sedan got a smaller, thicker wheel, still leather, but only single seamed, and not perforated. It is the same wheel that the WRX STi has, without the red stitching, and with the subaru oval on the airbag, instead of the STI logo. I believe it is still MOMO, but not badged. After sitting in an 06 WRX STI, Spec B, and 06 GT 5MT, I did notice the differences in the steering wheels... I haven't followed the 2.5i models as closely, but they probably get a lower trim level wheel, as someone mentioned, with vinyl, rather than leather on the non-limited version. Seats are different between models, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Don't forget : http://tinypic.com/jhu6f7.jpg IIHS is on drugs. Other than the rocker panel trim hanging down on the '05, from these two photos, I see very little difference in structural damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pictures doesn't show how the driver's door deformed/withstood the impact. Ah, I see. Thanks. So the basic structure of the car is unchanged, as is depicted in the photos. Paranoid '05 owners can simply swap out their doors for '06 doors should they feel the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emorphien Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Are there pics of the fully chromse headlights? I wonder if theres a way 05 canget that mod. I think I like the 05 ones better to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 You may want to add that the 2006 models have a differnt glove box than the 2005. You can now easily change the cabin air filter through the glovebox. The 2005 models required a kit to be installed by the dealer. I'm not sure if the 05's came with a filter from factory also, but my 06 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Specb122 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Nice write-up. I guess they're still going with the same stupid floormat hook. Does anyone else get there pant leg caught on the hook as they panic looking for the brakes only to find their leg caught. I've gone through my closet and ripped off all my pant legs so I don't wreck my new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Specb122 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I am surprised. I thought that was why everyoen coplains about it. It's this huge hook just sitting there and for the taller gusy with the seat all the way back sometimes my foot rests there.... isn't always enough room to leave it on the dead pedal for hours at a time. Then when you go to quickly move the foot to the break or clutch it is stuck with the pant leg hooked on the hook. Do you guys roll or PEG your pant lets to avoid this?

2006Specb122 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The hook for the driver side floor mat... it sticks up 8" and catches anythig in its path. Guess they couldn't do a fold-over desing... has to stick up and hook straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
