Another reason they are classified as an SUV-it will always be a wagon to me.mike-tracy wrote:Compared to my 98 Outback with new suspension, the new ones look way jacked up. And enormous lol! Happily I don't have any complaints about legroom in mine. The raised roof really helps.

I think the current LEGACY is the worst Legacy ever.

As a complete model lineup? Yes, as a "SUV/Crossover" it needed the size of the current car...which is still smaller than most other Crossovers. By the way, I hate the term crossover.mike-tracy wrote:Current OB is better than the 4th gen Legacy OBXT with an manual trans? Cant say i agree with you there. .....

I'd rather drive a rotted 1st gen. impreza then a new corolla-and I'm in and out of those all day long at work!PhyrraM wrote:As a complete model lineup?

As a specific trim withing the group? Sure, I can see the OBXT w/manual as a top contender..but .... rare as hen's teeth. I might put up a 3.6R Outback (even with an auto) as a better overall CROSSOVER. Of course we are talking about personal preferences....actual sales say the current car is the best..by far. Of course, actual sales say a Civic and a Corolla are better than an Impreza....
Lease I forget the extremely poor quality seats!-even with new suspension, my seats will "bottom out" on a certain point on one road-it's not even a pot hole!PhyrraM wrote:I have mixed feelings about the 2nd gen.allnines' wrote:I thought the second gen leggy was the worst!
I love them in GT form (especially a GT wagon), but prefer the first gen overall when not a GT. Also, I love the Outback in those years, but would prefer a (working) air suspension first gen if I had the choice.
I by far prefer the first gen interior/dashboard to the second gen. But the second gen can be found w/black leather and black dash while most first gen had blue/tan/grey dashboards and no leather. The coveted Black leather/black dash was never an option on the first gen...only tan or grey leather.
I never really cared for the 3rd gen Legacy as (to me) the headlights looked weird and the ass was fat. They are growing on me though and if i was to look for an Outback to simply drive and keep 100% stock it would most likely be a '00-'04 H6 L.L.Bean over a '95-'99.
The '05+ cars are still too new for an old timer like me to know much about. I almost bought a spec.B new, but chose not to.
It's interesting the differences in personal preference. For instance, I think the interior of the second gen is much better than the first gen, to the point where I have zero desire to own a first gen again.PhyrraM wrote:I have mixed feelings about the 2nd gen.allnines' wrote:I thought the second gen leggy was the worst!
