AV8TORSADF Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi All, I'm new here and to Subaru. I just signed on the dotted line today, purchasing a 2009 Legacy 3.0R LTD in Quartz Silver. The car had a spoiler, Wheel Locks, Tinted Windows and All Season Mats. I got a good deal with the Subaru year end incentive and low financing rate. I look forward to being involved in such a great forum. I have one question I've not been able to find the answer to anywhere. What size the the gas tank? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I think it might be 16.9 gallons, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoggydog Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Actually, I think it's around 14 gallons. Did you pick up a brochure? I'm sure you can look on Subaru's website for specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ in PA Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 16.9 is correct. Congrats! If I could justify the expense, I might trade mine in on a 2009 3.0, knowing that I don't like the 2010. But alas, I'm out of work and can't do it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't grab a brochure as I'll have the car in a few days. I have looked all over the site and there is no mention of the tank size. Thanks to both you guys for replying.

Throttlejockey Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Congrats. How come you didn't get an awesome 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttlejockey Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Every time I fill it's about 13 gallons, maybe the reserve is 3? Tank: 16.9 US gals. Low fuel light on at appr. 2.5 gals left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV8TORSADF Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Congrats. How come you didn't get an awesome 2010? I'm not a fan of the new shape. I saw a base one at my local dealer and was NOT a fan of the shape or interior. Besides, this was the last 2009 3.0R LTD in the Boston area and one of only 3 in New England. The dealer gave me a great price (in conjunction with the year end incentives on 09) of $26700 from an MSRP of $31450 and the 2.9% financing.

Chappy Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Im not really familiar with the 09 models...What is the R stand for? Also, is it turbocharged or N/A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 the 3.0R is N/A. And every current Subaru uses a 16.9 gallon tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV8TORSADF Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Im not really familiar with the 09 models...What is the R stand for? Also, is it turbocharged or N/A? The 3.0R LTD has the 6 Cylinder boxer engine and is non turbo. The LTD is like the 2.5 LTD which has leather interior, climate control etc. It also comes with great looking 18" wheels.

Alex--TheGreek Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Welcome to the family! Enjoy your new ride! I'm curious though, not a turbo fan? Oh, and show us some pics as soon as you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! As soon as I take delivery, this weekend I'll take some pics and post them here. I've had turbos before (2006 Jetta GLI) but wanted a 6 cylinder this time around.

AV8TORSADF Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Any reason behind choosing the 6? Just curious why you wanted that one. This car I intend to drive into the ground and I felt a regular aspirated 6 might last longer with less hassles than a turbo 4. This is my daily drive car and I commute about 60 miles round trip daily. About 70% of that is interstate. Now no flaming from the turbo 4 crowd please lol!

Verwilderd Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 No that's cool. I was only curious. There's nothing wrong with the 6. The only thing that could be a problem is nodding since there's not much out there for the 6. But if you want to keep it forever, it's probably best not to do crazy mods.

Yeah, I'm not planning on doing too many mods. I want to do the HID Conversion and a in-dash navi (probably one of the Pioneer or Kenwood units). Possibly an exhaust mod down the road. How many miles have you done on your car? What mods do you have? Have you had any issues with your car? Your wheels look hot with your colour car.

Verwilderd Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks. Right now I've got about 12k miles, no issues and have done pretty much everything I can to the stock turbo. If I wanna make more power I can go e85 or change the turbo. Subarus are nice cars because they can handle quite a few mods without just falling apart.

That's good to hear about the car holding up under heavy modding. When I was in my 20's I used to mod up cars, now with a house (and a wife lol) I need to spend my money more sparingly on modding cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
