Bob Rogers Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've been driving Subarus pretty much since my first Legacy wagon exposure in '90. Just picked up a white '08 OB Ltd. After about one year with a BMW 325 iT wagon, I got nervous about long term maintenance costs - and went back to Suby. I'm going to replace the OB 7 spoke mags with 05 -07 Legacy GT mags. I'm a clean wheel freak and these are easier to keep clean. Last year we sold our '05 Legacy GT 5MT wagon because of the uncomfortable passenger seat. My wife and I feel the OB seats are will be better. If not, I'm going to get them re-padded. We'll see. With all due respect to the Bimmers out there, I'm just a lot more comfortable in the OB; not a lot of power, but a great ride. And, I needed more room to carry my tuba. The BMW 325 wagon is really small in the back end - somewhat to my surprise. I hadn't done my homework in that area. All for now but I could go on and on.

Nawambo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yup, got an 05 OBXT Limited, love it, and am currently selling to get the 2010 OB 3.6! It'll be my 4th Subie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravengage Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Test-drove both 09 OB 5MT & the 09 Legacy 2.5i 5MT I finally wound up with. Was actually going to go with a black OB 5MT (loved the look, ground clearance, storage, etc.) but the incentives on the Legacy around here were way too tantalizing to overlook.

sleepydave Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) another dp/up/open source tuned obp obxt here. I was waiting to post until I had pics though sadly am camera-less at the moment. she's a daily so she doesn't get the attention my other rigs have. edit: borrowed a camera, playing with hdr and the original...and one more hdr I kind of liked...severely limited by the point and shoot camera and the fact that these are faked via a singal shot. http://davesakolsky.com/hdr4.jpg http://davesakolsky.com/hdr4original.jpg http://davesakolsky.com/hdr1.jpg Edited August 11, 2009 by sleepydave edit, borrowed a cam...

Bob Rogers Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 About 2 months ago acquired 08 OB Ltd "regular" non XT. White. Only change: took off the 08 factory seven spoke mags and replaced with Legacy GT 5 spoke. Think they're better looking and easier to keep clean. Only complaint: daytime instrument illumination is so weak that I can't see tack/speedo during bright daylight. Really miss my 05 Legacy GT electro-illuminated dash. Does anyone know what I might do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it just grenade? Do I need to buy a VF52 or AVO380 preemptively? I HS/College I had a 1987 Thunderbird turbo coupe stock turbo was still working at 156,000 when I sold it.
