2005 Legacy GT - Bought in November and Luvin it

May 11, 2005 7 Replies

Ok, so I've only put 2000 miles on this baby since November (I work too much). But in my defense, I ride a motorcycle - Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 (with custom exhaust, air kit, PowerCommander). That'll put a smile on your face.


Subarus rock - good value for the $$. High fun factor driving this car.

Congratulations! It's so good to hear someone finally say something positive about their experience with their Legacy. Most just gripe and complain. I have a 91' and I'm still lovin' it!

What does the GT specification mean?

I got a 2000 Legacy L wagon a couple of months ago. It's stripped down with steel wheels and virtually no toys, but yeah, it drives well. Probably not nearly as well as your GT. But the handling allows me to do some insane turns, even with the steel wheels and nothing-special tires.

Does that imply that aluminum alloy wheel are better than steel wheel?

High fun factor in Legacy GT is what is making me rethink to get it instead of a Camry (2.4L 4cyl.).

In general yes as alloy wheels tend to be lighter and stronger than steel wheels which has various benefits:

Yes, besides being heavier, steel wheels can flex in a hard turn. But I really wonder if most drivers can even feel the difference. I have never read a side-by-side comparison, and I remain doubtful. I believe the biggest difference is aesthetic.
