Cal Goat Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'll probably be poking around here for a while as I torture myself with thoughts of moving over to the Legacy GT. Currently, I'm driving an 06 GTO which is great save for a couple of things: - I love RWD, but there are a lot of situations where this car is just too squirrely. It's not a deal breaker, but after 5 years I've definitely found the limitations. - The trunk is tiny. This is my only car and that lack of space can make life challenging at times. - Parts are becoming more expensive every day and GM has always treated this car like a red headed step child in terms of support. Finally, I've got a baby on the way and 4 doors would just make life that much easier. That said, I'm an enthusiast and I think I could make the effort to keep the GTO if no other fun/cool options arrive. My lady has a Camry, so it's not a total compromise. I had an 05 WRX prior to the GTO and I'm a big Subie fan (though most of their current offerings don't seem as pure and fun as the cars from a couple of years ago). If I had just bough the STI back then, I probably would have never jumped to the GTO. I probably should have just bought a Legacy GT from the get go, but I've met some good people in the GTO community. Looking at LGTs, I have only one requirement at this point: MANUAL. But that seems to be tough to find on the used market right now. I prefer the look of the 04-08 cars, but I hear the 09+ cars have a less troublesome engine. So... thoughts, tips?

Gire Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Welcome and if you need a manual there are plenty for sale in all turbo years. Sounds like you don't want a wagon and that makes your hunt even easier. Search around. There are plenty of stock and modded exames for sale in north America right now. Depends on what you want and how much you want to pay. Of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Goat Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Wagon would be cool but either car in decent shape is fine. Clutch pedal is my only requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Surf our for sale threads daily. One will pop up that you love. You may have to fly out to buy it though. These aren't Accords we're selling here. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgt_nube Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Major changes were made in the 2005 model LGT, so maybe you mean 05-08? I prefer the look of the 04-08 cars A few photos of the LGT My current ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Goat Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Major changes were made in the 2005 model LGT, so maybe you mean 05-08? Correct. I was probably thinking about the WRX changes that started from 04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
