I would buy a 2025 outback wilderness before the generation update if it had a traditional automatic and physical HVAC controls. Literally just those two things completely ruin the car for me.

Nothing. Subaru stopped being interesting in 2010.
>2005-2009: could get impreza, outback, legacy, and forester in turbo+manual trims
>2025: lmao here's your wrx, chud.

I test drove one of these earlier this year because I was looking for a new AWD car. I cant say I was very Impressed and I was not aware that the entire center console was just an Ipad.

As a subaru owner, I don't care. The only thing of interest is their legacy parts program for the gc

Chat what do we think. I can't think of a better car <$20k all around. Everything with the same age had 2x the miles.I went from fantasizing about GC8 STis after a $15,000 v5 Sedan in Tampa kept popping up on my FB, to realizing they're all open diff and a pain in the ass to insure (RHD) and looking at GDBs. Realized the white 2006 I wanted had 7 different POs and it was a "California car" that spent the last 15 years in the Midwest. This came up for sale, realized its half the miles and 10 years less than all the GDBs I was looking at. DMed him within 30 mins of it being posted and I'm gonna go Monday at 9am to check it out.Prime is a huge Subaru shop in the area, they bought the car from auction with a blown motor, put a 40k mile RA block in it and a ACT HDSS. Mechanically stock with the only mods being I can tell being Perrin Fender Shrouds, JDM Grill, Black Limited BBSs, Wheel Spacers, and *maybe* a Trunk Swap. Its a no sunroof car too, most of the carfax shows it going between Colorado, Montana, and Florida so it should be minty underneath.I'm crossing my fingers I don't have to do anything to it for the next year but drive it. I was originally fantasizing about GR Corollas and GT350s but I can't justify the $40-50k for one.Other cars considered: 5.0 S197 Mustangs (pricing weird, the $15k ones have 2x the miles and the lower miles one cost the same $20-25k as S550s). Mk7 Audi S3s (not as fun but ultimately good cars). Miatas (not as exciting, and I can't find a NC2 PRHT in the color I want; $16k gets you a high mileage ND1 though). Not a Corvette or Z guy despite those being 100% faster.https://www.instagram.com/p/DPFM7BCAV9o/

Didn't know they killed it. I had an '05 base wagon. It wasn't a great car but it wasn't bad either. It did the job. I camped in it a lot and drug its belly all over the place.

Don't need power with a chimp like me behind the wheel. It's the slowest car I've ever had but it's growing on me after 5 years, I can get it to slide a bit even.
Yeah, Subaru died years ago. My GH is about as recent as I'd go.
Subaru got destroyed my Emissions / fuel mileage laws and was to small and too shortsighted to keep their fun cars. What a shame.
That said, they are doing record business with normies so now they know they don't need "enthusiasts." Also a damn shame.

They seem like a company that have given up. They haven't sold Legacies for a while in England. No normal family cars. No estates. No ten speed gear boxes. Last made a popular sports car circa 2005.

I need a new daily. I've been looking at 4th gen Legacys with the 3.0 engine. Locally there seems to be mostly 03-06 cars with minor issues for sale. What do you guys think, good daily or not?
There are wagons and sedans, and automatics and manuals, which is the preferable combination?
I read some horror stories about timing chains and pulleys failing. I do all my wrenching myself but would rather not have to do a timing chain replacement anytime soon.

I need some advice on whether this is a good idea. From what I understand the engine and transmission of this model is great, but I'm worried about the high mileage. I don't care what model or year it is, I'm just after a reliable outback.$3,200 USD

I'm in the market for a JDM Levorg and I might as well get an STI.
- (1) the STI have suspension with adaptive "e-Tune" dampers. Are they good or trash? I like the idea of adjusting between comfort or sportier, but don't the adaptive dampers mean I can't change the spring coils as it would upset the computer?
- (2) I have an eye on the 2.5l turbo, but does it worth it to have 270 horsepower when a CVT is the only option?

I have a 2024 Subaru Legacy limited.
It has the upgraded Harman Kardon sound system but I feel like it's kinda bad... has anyone else had one of these to comment on it? Am I just expecting too much? It's my first car since a 2012 chrysler shitbox that didn't have working speakers.
I often feel like the sound can be muddy or unclear despite there being like 12 speakers. Like there's very little "soundstage".
I like everything else about the car.

Blew my head gasket while driving my STI like a retard. Wastegate got stuck and overboosted the living fuck out of it (tuned for 24psi, went up to 32psi). I'm running an IAG 2.5 shortblock, what do you think I'm going to find when I finally get around to tearing it apart?

>Are you in North America?
No, I'm in Japan.
Another reason why I'm not getting excited about buying an older legacy is that the tax sharply increases for vehicles older than 13 years old.
