  Love my car - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By margie - March 20 - 10:43 pm

  I live in Northern NY, snow covered curvy, mountainous roads. I love the way the car handles and brakes.

  SUBARU GT LTD LEGACY - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By GERALD EGNA - December 1 - 9:33 pm

  This is my third Subaru, and the best. Previously had 1999 Outback, 2002 Outback and now 05 GT Limited Legacy. This is by far the most fun to drive car I have owned. I have had quite a few people ask me about my car, and highly recommend it.

  One of the Best Used Car to Buy - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By Wong - October 22 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car used in 2009. Now has 76,000 miles. Now, 5 years later the car runs just like new sill. The paint isnt the best but every car now has bad paint. There is only one rattle but only comes once in a long time other wise everyday its quiet. Some people complain about wind noise because of frame less window but I dont hear and I know there is no wind noise unless its 30 mph winds but even cars with framed windows will here that. Seats are comfortable for shorter trips. It doesnt have all the new toys that 2010 cars now have but you dont need it. Like back-up camera, gps, mp3, push start etc. If you can drive without the new toys this is a good car to buy with awd standard

  Oh My! - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By Stealthleadfoot - May 11 - 6:00 pm

  Bought the 05 Legacy GT 3 months ago. My wife and I liked it a lot right off the bat, and now, after 3500 miles, we like it even more. No buyers remorse in this house. Seriously fast, AWD handles like a dream in all kinds of terrain and weather, restrained but classy interior and exterior, great build quality and very adequate safety features. This is our first Subaru, and its certainly different from some of the older ones so beloved by many of our friends. Were glad we didnt pay the extra bucks for the runners-up. For one thing, being less popular, it doesnt look like Everymans cheap Beemer or Audi. Respectable adults with a delinquent residue -- go for it!

  Shes got the power, Scotty! - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By Rick Perry - May 1 - 10:16 am

  Oh my! The increased power from the 2.5 liter non-turbo Outback to the Legacy GT 2.5 turbo.Just what I needed to give me the kick in the pants I was looking for. Oh, BTW, I do drive a 3.0 liter BMW X-5 and this Subie is equally as much fun to drive for a heck of a lot less money! Like $22K less? I got one 3 days ago loaded to the limit and with the discount and rebate, I had to buy it and trade in my sluggish Outback with the 2.5 liter regular engine. Glad I did. This ones a keeper!

  So far I have not expericenced anything that I would complain about except the mileage. I drive 80 miles round trip to work everyday and I am only averaging about 21 mpg.

  Sedan with Soul - 2005 Subaru Legacy
  By resipsa99 - February 15 - 4:36 pm

  The GT is lightning quick when the turbo kicks in at 3000 rpm. Need to get up to speed quickly to merge onto a crowded highway? Just open up the 250hp turbo and hold on. The handling is solid and inspires confidence -- push hard on a twisty back road and the car stays firmly planted beneath you. The exterior styling is aggressive yet clean, with much more personality than its competitors. The interior is perfectly adequate, though some pieces are cheap looking for a car of this price. Leather is almost a necessity, since the only cloth option is not very attractive. Compared to its competitors, you sacrifice some luxury and options for performance, but its well worth it.
