After comparing many cars in roughly the same class (Accord, Avensis &
Mazda6 were also on my shortlist), I decided to buy a new (2005) Legacy
Touring Wagon.
I am leaning towards the 2.5i (it will be mostly used by my wife, urban
driving most of the time, with the occasional mix of motorway/secondary
road journey) but I have read mixed reviews concerning the 4-gear
automatic 'box. I don't think we need the extra kW of the 3.0R engine,
but it appears that the 5-gear auto 'box, which is not available on the
2.5i, seems to suit the car better.
I would be grateful if you could comment on your experience on either
of these two cars - i.e. automatic 2.5i or 3.0R 2005 Legacy. Is the
2.5i too sluggish?
