godwhomismike Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Absoultely not. The turbo was what made me test drive one in the first place. +123456789 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Only if a turbo diesel was available. ~170HP + boatloads of torque + the overall Legacy package would be a combo worthy of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubLo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Big fat NO!

erikvcl Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yes, if you're in the market for a midsize sedan or wagon AWD, there are not many choices, particularly for the price. I wanted a nice (e.g. leather, heated seats, dual ACC, etc.) non-FWD sedan for $25k. The Legacy fit the bill perfectly. I would have had to spend 8k-10k more for a BMW or Audi and had to deal with astronomical service costs and terrible reliability. No thanks. To my knowledge, there are no $25k non-FWD sedans with a manual transmission made by any manufacturer outside of the Subaru Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 +1, although if the H6 was in the Legacy wagon with a 5MT I would strongly consider one. Good call. I'd buy an H6 wagon if available, even an older (2004) Outback H6 like my In-Laws' wagon. That is a nice car! If that didn't exist, I'd be in a 328/330 BMW or a G35 sedan, or maybe an AWD Volvo S60 or V70 wagon... mmm choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSPRO Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I did buy an 06 N/A first and had it for a whole 11 months before finding my 05 LGT wagon. It wasn't a bad car, but I traded in a turbo car for it trying to be pratical and it just wasn't for me. My husband is thinking about an outback though so we have one that is N/A and reliable, and then my car which is Turbo and reliable most of the time lol.

tommypenguin Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 No way, I would have never even test drove a legacy if there was no turbo in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessotron Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 I just don't think the non-turbo Legacy offers enough perks for the money. All wheel drive is a plus, but it is lacking in so many other departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Would never have even been on my radar w/o the turbo. my position, exactly. I would not have waited two years for a Legacy if it were just another sedan. AWD is nice, and definitely a big plus. But the turbo is a big dose of "soul" to this car. If I were looking for a nice, capable car for someone else, and were lucky enough to find the Legacy, I would definitely recommend it. But for myself, an enthusiast, I would have gone with a more powerful car than the 2.5i, although I am not sure what. A4 turbo is not as powerful and more expensive, previous G35 was not the greatest, but probably the closest, or tried to find an E36 M3 4-door with low used mileage, or a nice used 5-series. One can argue whether the Mazdaspeed6 would have existed without the 2005+ Legacy GT having existed, considering how closely they are matched.

kenzo Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 ... If there was no turbo option, would you still consider a Legacy sedan vs. alternatives like the Camry etc. Only if the performance was still better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGT08 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Absolutely not. When shopping for cars, I was very torn between the Accord V6 coupe, and the Legacy GT. Take the turbo away, and the Accord wins hands down. They're both very nice cars, don't get me wrong, but the Accord just doesn't have "it" NEVER ARGUE WITH A STUPID PERSON. THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL, THEN BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
