I3eXa Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 bsdzine - u had me too, laughed pretty hard at the end though. I didn't know this many people were opposed to the spoiler, but I think the car looks ghey without it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ in PA Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It's useless, but I think the car looks more balanced with it. The tail looks too "droopy" for lack of a better word without the spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottlj Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 if you take the stock spoiler off do you have to plug the holes with something so rain wont leak into your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCloud Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If you take the spoiler off, there are quite a few holes under there (on my model, 10, I believe). If you want to live with holes in your trunk lid, well, to each his own. A stick-on lip spoiler might cover some of them, but not all ten of mine.

Elliottlj Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 i believe i only have about 4 i dont think 10 could even fit where my spoiler is attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
change_agent Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I am thinking of buying a 2.5i limited. go for the GT model and the turbo ...you will have wished you had...I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Fan Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 OEM spoiler increases the gas mileage by at least 50%....you gotta get one with the price of gas these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomorrow Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 OEM spoiler increases the gas mileage by at least 50%....you gotta get one with the price of gas these days are you serious? If so, why or any evidence? i saw so many people saying the spoiler actually hurt the fuel efficiency a lot by adding more drag ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heightsgtltd Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 It's a toss up between the spoiler and the turbonator for increased MPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why or any evidence? i saw so many people saying the spoiler actually hurt the fuel efficiency a lot by adding more drag ... Hold on. I doubt the mpg difference is even noticeable, spoiler/spoilerless. And, there were more people joking around about the topic then serious replies.. So, whatever your personal preference is, just go with it.. People are freaking out about gas..

godwhomismike Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 People are freaking out about gas.. People do some really stupid things when it comes to high gas prices. Sucks regardless, and it isn't going to be any less painful - regardless if you drive a Hyundai Accent or a Legacy GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks regardless, and it isn't going to be any less painful - regardless if you drive a Hyundai Accent or a Legacy GT. if you got double the mileage you'd spend 1/2 of the money so it obviously would be less painful Of course a spoiler does nothing but add looks :lol: "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a!

Sucks regardless, and it isn't going to be any less painful - regardless if you drive a Hyundai Accent or a Legacy GT. Wife and I just took a road trip to Freeport, ME. it was 400 miles round trip. We took our Civic and I averaged 40 MPG. We could of taken our Pilot that at best would of got 20 MPG. The trip cost me $40.00 bucks in Gas. If we took the Pilot it would of costs $80.00. Every little bit helps. - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'd argue the spoiler on the LGT takes away from the looks :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoGT Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 go for the GT model and the turbo ...you will have wished you had...I do As an owner of a GT, my advice is the opposite: Go for the 2.5i model without the turbo...you will be a lot happier. Regardless of the problems that I have had with my local dealer and Subaru of America, I regret buying the GT. It isn't fast enough to be a real performance car but you take a huge hit in gas mileage. In typical driving I get 15-16mpg city and 23mpg highway. A 2008 Corvette has better fuel efficiency.

98Legacy_2.5lGT Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 my little @ss spoiler does absolutely nothin except add a look. plus i dont even care about a lil bit of gas burned. it could only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'd argue the spoiler on the LGT takes away from the looks :lol: Having had an 07 with spoiler, and an 08 without, I completely agree. The 08 looks so much cleaner. Also, having 2 "third" brake lights looks stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I dont think it does anything, but I really like the way it looks (BTW rao is a tool for disagreeing with me ) you're in the minority, its such an awful 90's style spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottlj Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 everybody just needs to dump the spoilers and just get bigger hood scoopes cuz thats what subaru is all about right lol AWD and BIG hood scoopes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
