EquinnoxX Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I wanted a car that was fast, reliable and a winter performer. Sure i could have had a wrx, bmw or even a g35 gotti boy edition but I'd rather not drive what I see 5 of every 10 feet. Subaru Legacy FTW!!!

Pig Pen Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 i agree with everyone and thats why we are all here.. there is one problem with going unrecognized however and i see this trend happening with the new generation of subarus... i believe SoA has forgotten about our audience.. we are a market that wants performance with class, a lot of us coming from impreza roots would like to stick with the subaru community i know i cant get enough of that boxer rumble.. but it looks like SoA is destroying there own market... no longer can we "grow up" from an impreza to a lgt wagon because they arent available.. and now in 2009 model year if we want a turbo'd legacy sedan we have to buy a spec b... who knows by the time im looking to upgrade my 05 there might not even be a turbo'd legacy at all... i love the subaru community i love my car i love the unnoticed performance and value.. but unless someone does take notice we all might be forced to look in a new direction.. and no way in hell am i going to drive a partial zero emitions vehicle....

jonklein611 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 +1 for this post. It's nice having an older wagon up here @ college. Makes 4 man grocery / beer runs easy. The thing is invisible to those that like to dick with ppl's cars, and it's fast as crap. But it might help that I have a rule about never driving like a dick on campus. :-p I forget who said it, but the Legacy / SpecB is the gentleman's WRX..

05GT Guru Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 One other problem....walking thru a parking lot, up to your car, wondering if your KeyFob remote battery is dead because the car won't open...only to find out you've walked up to a camera/older altima/whatever, by mistake! Gats! Lol i have never done that. I dont understand how you could confuse your own car with another, hell you could put my legacy in a pack of the same exact car and i could tell you which is mine.

xihearthookersx Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 i could find mine in a parking lot and i never remember where i parked. i just walk around holding the panic button. but i could tell the difference with the borla tips and the hail damage and tint.

Siper2 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well, I don't own a GT yet, but probably will very soon. I'm honestly looking forward to it. My wife and I just went to a meet a few days ago, and both felt that, at 32, we were EXTREMELY old. Or at least mentally, compared to most other folks there! I love my RS with all my heart. I bought it new and don't know how I'll be, when I have to turn over the key. I'll probably go in to cold sweats. But.... the GT felt so nice when I drove it. I'm skittish to buy a used car, a car I'm unfamiliar with. But it's also got more power than my Impreza would, even post-swap (EJ205 USDM). It's also bigger......safer.........newer.......arguably prettier... I don't know. I'll still be a Mod on RS25.com. It's a good club. I've not felt at home on NASIOC for years; too many idiots or cynical Mods on a power trip. Yeah. I'm looking forward to a GT meet, or two.

Mine is stock from the outside, just a dp/ gutted up and tune. I just know my car as im retarded and tend to stare at my cars for long periods of time.

05GT Guru Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I see how they look simular but i could easily tell the difference, like i said i could tell the difference if you were to put my lgt in a pack of same color, 5eat 05 lgts. easily If you cant see the difference between those two cars then you and Helen Keller have alot in common.

danHA Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Coming from a '99 Acura Integra GS-R, I bought the Legacy for the improved performance, refinement, and grownup appearance. I got tired of the stigma associated with owning a "rice rocket" and got the Legacy because it was a "grown-up's STI." I didn't want to sacrifice fun for luxury either. The Legacy was and still is the perfect balance of performance, luxury, and value. Sure, I could have gotten a BMW 3-series or a Lexus IS, but I despise the stigma that comes along with owning one of those cars more than owning a rice rocket. I figure if I have to own a BMW, it'll be later when I'm older. I think the one main thing we Subaru owners have in common is that we don't really care about image and prestige.

05GT Guru Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think the one main thing we LEGACY owners have in common is that we don't really care about image and prestige. Fixed, 90% of people driving WRXs or STIs are going for both image and prestige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Like i said i see some simular body design but take the names and symbols off both cars and i could eaily tell you which was a legacy, that goes for if you put a camry next to it aswell. There are huge differences in body lines in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybige Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah definatley, montana is definatley subaru country.I told a friend from Colorado that I had a Subaru, mentioning to him "you've probably seen your fair share of those back in CO." He replies - "Are you kidding? It's the f*cking state car." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siper2 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^^ Same way in New England. I'm a NH native, just got to PA in 2004 (though my wife is from here). We've got a lot of them, especially in the northern half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyD3487 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 My legacy is lowered, tint, I have a diy grill, and 06 WRX TR wheels. I may get a front lip but I'm really happy with the looks and its got plenty of power, and nobody looks at it as a ricer car or a "tuner" car. And I love that. Not being at all associated with WRXs is nice. I can still have some mods and look professional and not like some punk kid. I live in WV. Subaru is also the state car here. They are more expensive here too. I bought an 05 5EAT LGT in waynesburg, PA for 16,300 and sold it in morgantown for 18k and bought the 5MT that I drive now.

Siper2 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I don't like the Bugeye stock. But I do like it with the OEM front underlip spoiler, JDM grille, and OEM side strakes and rear spats. That does a lot... A LOT... for the appearance. JDM or EDM headlights do even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
