Well I went out and took a look at them yesterday, sad thing is all the Legacy's they had were auto! I test drove a red GT, but the damn sales person wouldn't let me get it into boost! So I don't know wether to get a GT or just a special edition?

GT= DOHC 250 Hp and 250 lb-ft. Max boost at 13.5 psi. The only thing I didn't like about it is that they only come in leather.... I'm sorry but I have a couple of big dogs and thats just not going to work.
MPG= 20 city, 26 highway.

Non GT= SOHC 175 Hp, 169 lb-ft. And I can get it in cloth interior. I'm thinking "Satin White Pearl" for the color.
MPG= 22 City, 29 Highway.

I just want to hear your guy's thoughts on these new Legacy's. Anyone hear any pro's and con's? Any insight would be appreciated.

I really like the new legacies. I have a friend that had weird electrical issues with her 05 GT, and got subaru to buy it back.

If I were to buy one, I'd buy a used one.

You may want to also ask on www.legacygt.com/forums to get some additional opinions.

That sucks the GT doesn't come in cloth.

New Leg Turbo Wagon is v. plush and roomy

If I wasn't so far into my first gen twgn I'd get serious about the new ones

---buying used of course.

I'm waiting for the Spec B's to show up on the used market. Though there's still one in the showroom near me. Hmmmmm. I wonder how long I could live on a pack of ramen noodles a day?

You can get them without leather. Goodluck finding one without leather and with navi though.

Wouldn't let you get into boost? Don't buy from that jerk. When I drove the new GT the salesguy didn't complain about cornering or flooring it and getting up to about 80. He said to watch out for cops. :lol:

Also, is it true that they don't make GT wagons with sticks anymore?

Only in 2005. . . for 2006 ALL the GTs are Limited, which means sunroof and leather. ;)
