2005 Subaru Legacy GT 2.5 turbo

Summary:

A stunning car at a reasonable price

Faults:

No trouble at all yet. Not even a rattle.

General Comments:

This car is a great all around performer. The turbocharged 2.5 liter engine is suited perfectly to the thin air in Colorado. The all-wheel drive is simply amazing any time the road surface is less than ideal. The interior is tastefully designed and well put together. This car is very quiet and comfortable when cruising around town. Step hard on the gas and this car will instantly respond. The performance capability of this car is stunning! All this for a very reasonable price. My Last Subaru was trouble free for 145,000 miles.

I just bought an '06 GT and in 2000 miles have been very happy with it. The only problem I've had is a glove box that is a little tough to close, but I am sure it's just an adjustment. All and all an amazing, fast and comfortable car, worth every penny!

2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i wagon 2.5i B4

Summary:

Very impressive all around

Faults:

Tires would not stay in balance and the dealership kept failing to balance them properly. I solved the problem by purchasing a another set of wheels and tires... bigger and stickier. Overall the car is beautifully designed and assembled.

General Comments:

The only short comings on this car is a high clutch engagement and the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced. Having owned a WRX the refinement of the Legacy is welcomed, but the performance of the WRX is missed. The GT model was a little out of my price range at the time and having to use 93 octane is a bummer considering I drive 650 miles per week. I enjoy the great gas mileage these days over winning stop light drag races.

Steven.

The uncormfortable seats explained in detail as requested: I have isolated the uncomfortable part of the seat to the "seat" part exactly where my skinny rear-end is situated. Lumbar is good as is thigh support.

Wheel/Tire balance problem was corrected. it was isolated to the right rear tire. The tires are the stock Potenza R92's...no, the dealer did not check the wheel balance without the tire.

Hope this satisfies your curiosity. Thanks for your comments.
