Quick Recap of Summer activities...

-Totaled my CL in May (bumped a Honda Pilot who decided to stop on an on ramp instead of merge. Didn't even put a scratch on the Pilot, but the poor CL had 240k on the clock so the hood damage was enough to total.)

-Got Married in June, wife was driving my dad's old Avalon. I will be taking the Avalon for a while. Master plan - E46 next summer and keep Avalon for winters.

-Got the new wife a new (used) Car...









CPO 2007 Legacy 2.5i Limited 45k.
Just a few coats of Zaino were applied over the weekend.

 

Alrighty then.....congrats on getting married.

 

Sorry to hear about the CL

Congrats on the new ride though! Subasu's are hawt!

 

Congrats on the new ride...and getting hitched

So nice to see someone from Cleveland talk about summer activities and not mention LeBron...

 

Nice looking dash, but the steering wheels looks hugh.

 

Very nice car! How does it compare to the CL?

 

Nice Lesbaru.

 

looks great.

 

Nice ride.

I'm in the same boat. Fiance just totaled her sentra, I need to find something for her or give her my car and get something for me.

 

It compares pretty well to the CL. Both are a tad underpowered (I had a 5sp 2.3), but the Legacy sticks to the road a little better thanks to the AWD. Im looking forward to taking advantage of that as the wife is from WI and we travel up there a bit in the winter months.

It also has most of the same features as the CL and is quite comfortable.

And yes it being a Lezburu is why we didn't get a Forester. Every time I see one of those one of those is driving it....

 

OP: Very nice. I like that color blue. But be aware that Subaru paint and clear coats are very soft. Easily scratched.

If you would have asked for opinions earlier, I would have told you to find a 3.0 or 2.5 GT Legacy, where the power is not really wanting. I think you could at least throw a K&N air filter in for a few ponies more, but the 2.5 NA is really not much of a motor to upgrade.

Great choice none the less. And the handling is excellent.
