2005 Legacy GT - Bought in November and Luvin it

[GTE NEWS]

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.

What gas mileage do you get?

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.
