Not a big fan of any other Subaru other than the Imprezas (ie. all the RS, WRX, STI, whatever). I did kind of like the Legacy before it was revealed, but not a huge fan of it anymore. I guess it wasn't as sporty as I thought it was.
Nonetheless, still a nice car for sure! I'm just waiting for the Tribeca to come out, that thing is sweet! Haha

lol. well, sure, it's not sporty "looking" but it sure as hell will beat any wrx stock and with a few bolt ons, stay with the sti. afterall, it is the same engine in the STI, but tuned a little differently. 250 hp awd??? 0-60 mph in 5.6 sec?? that's not sporty? sure.... ok.

I'm not referring to speed though, looks is what I'm referring to. Sure, the car sports a beefy engine, but I can't drive it just cause it's fast. That's just me though so. I'm more a cosmetics more than a speed jockie

I'm more a cosmetics more than a speed jockie ok i see what you're saying. well, i don't have any real plans for exterior mods other than painted calipers, tinted windows and debadging. i don't even know if a body kit or anything exists for the 05 LGT. i prefer this look over the wrx, it's more subtle and classic. very luxury and not "pull me over and give me a ticket." |

no. lol. no more money! just somewhat inexpensive mods for now. 250 hp will be suffice for the time being.... until next spring perhaps! just the tint, reconnecting my stereo, and some other minor exterior mods.

If it shares the same engine as the STi, then there is a turbo upgrade mod out there worth roughly $4000 + install that can push the car to about 400HP. That's why my next car, is probably an STi. So much more oppurtunities for speed, and I love the looks of the STi.
You should definitely consider the 400HP mod...*drool* HAHA!

Yes the engines are the same....but they are in two totally different cars. Look at the Celica GT-S and the Matrix XRS for example. They have the same engine, but the S/C and turbo mods for the GT-S will not fit in the Matrix because of plumming issues....or vice versa. So even though Hope's car has the same engine as the Sti.....it does not mean that the 450hp mod will work. Might take some minor or major mods.....which would up the cost.
