leggtnut Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ok. an opinion from someone that has owned 7 subies and all but 1 were failry worry free. 83 GL FWD sedan - got it at 150K and it went to 190K 85 RX 4x4 sedan - got it at 98K and it went to 190K 90 Legacy L FWD sedan - got it at 110K went to 210K 98 Forester L AWD - Wife got it new and we traded it in for a 04 at 100K 04 Baja T AWD - Got it new and it had some issues and was lemoned at 55K 04 Forester Xt AWD - got it at 35K and it currently has 40K 06 Legacy Gt AWD - got it new and it currently has 22K Lets start from oldes to newest. 0 issues from the 83 GL, great car for first car and being 16. 0 issues from the RX and it was a blast to drive with the 4wd and 1.8L Watercooled turbo. I had a couple minor issues with the 90, but that was due to pore maintiance from the previous owners, once all the neglected out components were replaced, 100% reliable. The 98 forester was a great car expicaly for being a first year model. 0 issues except for a electrical issue at about 5k and the dealiership took care of it w/out issues, we traided it in because we decided to upgrade to the turbo. 04 Baja T, first year model with the trubo and it was not well though though, '00 - 04 transmission with the trubo and 2600ft climb/decend each way for a commute, it didn't like and soa took care of it and made me happy. 04 Forester Xt, previously a service loaner and extreamly well maintained and cared for, my dealer goes above and beyond keeping these nice, 0 issues so far. 06 LGT, ordered it special because there wasn't one to my liking in CA, 0 macanicall issues, no rattles, a small squeek from the drivers seat on hard cornering, that's it. With your choices, and not going with my biastness (sp) I would go with the Legacy because, mainly, with the AWD. You can't get a comperablay equipt AWD what ever at the same price. AWD helps in ALL conditions and will notice it more when the weather turns. Only down side is the turbo cars, require the premium gas, but the slogan is right, you pay to play. The FXT and the LGT are a real blast to drive and love driving them both. Sory for such a long post, but it's most of my .02 worth.

rc0032 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 negative...the Subaru engines are Porsche boxer engines made in Germany...the Subaru drivetrain is assembled in japan with the engine being affixed to the drivetrain and then crated and shipped to America for final assembly :lol: man you make yourself look better day by day, post by post.

mccorry Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Please DISREGARD the following statement by NYCBRED: negative...the Subaru engines are Porsche boxer engines made in Germany...the Subaru drivetrain is assembled in japan with the engine being affixed to the drivetrain and then crated and shipped to America for final assembly This is COMPLETELY wrong. The subaru engines in our LGT's are assembled in Lafayette, IN at the SIA plant. The subcomponents are shipped in to that facility, but the actual engine assembly does occur there. I know.... I've seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 ....secondly, the legacy's engine is german, drivetrain japanese, which is then crated and sent to the US for final assembly..... Again... completely wrong. Where are you getting this false information? The transmissions are shipped in from Japan as are the rear differentials. The engines are assembled in Indiana.

tytek Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I heard that the cupholder is built in Madagascar. Is that true? Along with the Porsche designed cupholders for the 2001 homo-blue 911... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Is it too late to ? This thread is hilarious. The salesman told me my engine was made by Ferdinand himself (through some mystical time warp)!

rabydanimal Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 life's too short to drive an accord/camry/appliance. BTW, this succinct statement accurately represents the thoughts of the 1% of car owners that actually want to do more than just get from point A to point B. I have to have fun behind the wheel because that's the only free time I have! Damn, where's the gold star button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bskey Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Where's NYCBRED to back up his claims? The only thing I like about the '08 WRX is the fact that it shares a platform with the LGT so we will likely see many more aftermarket parts.... provided SOA sells any.

IwannaSportSedan Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I thought Hell was north of Indiana, somewhere in Michigan. "South of Hell" doesn't sound like much fun, though, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxx Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I guarantee metric did not tell you that. Where's Dave? He's on these boards "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

coxx Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 who said Dave told me that you cockfuck etard...did you get your name from the fact that you like multiple cocks in your mouth at once or was it handed down from generation to generation? people who talk like that show a lack of intelligence. They usually aren't smart enough to come up with an intelligent insult so they resort to vulgarity Dave = MSPT "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!
