  • Just Got it - 2005 Subaru Legacy

    Just got it this week and Ive owned 6 Subarus and none compare to the refinement of this one.

  • Wonderful Driving Experience - 2005 Subaru Legacy

    I got great financing from Subaru. I think this is the best year for the Subaru. Finally a car company has finally put the true meaning of "GT" into a car: style, performance, power and handling. Its not some superficial dressed up version that they slapped GT on it to give you an impression that its faster then their standard models. This thing GOES!

  • WOW, driving is fun again! - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Wow, I have had this car a month now and I love it. It is the best car I have driven. It accelerates, brakes, and rides like a dream. Totally shocked at how nice the car is for the price. What other car can go 0-60 in 5.7 sec with the same build quality, all wheel drive, etc. for under $25k? This car will spank 3 series BMWs. People complain about the tires, but I find them to be decent for what I paid. Yes they wear out quickly, but it is because people who own this car push it to its limits. If you were to drive slowly (which is impossible for me in this car) your tires would last much longer. Overall, highly recommended. Trust me and test drive one!

  • Joy to Drive - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I have 4000 on the odometer and this car is still a hoot to drive. Everything works well, except Tiptronic is a bit hesitant to upshift. AWD great with the turbo. Other two cars are a Lexus GS430 and Miata. My preference is still between the Miata and Subie. Love the looks of this car. Ride is firm but comfortable. Great car for the money.

  • Best Subaru Yet - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    The Legacy is awesome. I traded in my WRX for this car. Its not priced all that much more than the WRX, so its a heck of a value. Given the quality, performance and luxury of this car, its a steal. Mine is in Satin White. As part of the deal, the dealer tinted the windows. Im thrilled with the way it looks ... not to mention how it drives.

  • Subie GT - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    So far it has been excellent. The fit and finish of the interior and exterior have been awesome. I would have liked to have seen the doors close more securely, but overall it is awesome. The power of the turbo is smooth and the shift from gear to gear leaves you breathless. A+. I am glad to see more mods available to date.

  • Recent reviews have been wonky - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Its as if other companies are trying to artificially bring down the rating so I felt compelled to give this car a proper review - throughout the last 5 years, it has repeatedly proven itself as a solid, reliable, and fast car at a steal of a price. There is no way around it.

  • I look to forward to my commute - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I purchased the vehicle loaded with almost every available option because I considered it an excellent value. After three weeks, I still feel that way. My only concern about driving it is that I will start collecting traffic tickets for speeding, as this rig just wants to go fast. I purchased the car less than a week after I initially drove it. The reason I was interested is that my wife drives a Forrester XT, and I have enjoyed it so much that I wanted a Subaru with a turbo for myself.

  • ALMOST A TEN.... - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Our 1st new car... we got the GT sedan, and really love the car. ALOT of power and still has tether anchors for our toddlers car seat. Premium fuel only means the gas bill is a little high, and honestly the fuel economy is not that great, but I love the power it has, and the fun to drive factor makes up for the thirsty engine.

  • North Pole - 2005 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    This vehicle handles like a dream. As a 4 cylinder you would never know it by the quick aeceleration. The leather interior and climate control make it a very comfortable ride. This is one vehicle that begs to be driven.
