New Car!

So some of you might remember that the dealer bought my TL back about a month ago, well here is the new ride.. I know it's not a 3G TL so probably not in the right forum but I figured since i'm a previous 3GTL owner some people on here know what my "story" is so this was the most logical place to put it..

Anywho here is my new car! 2005 Legacy GT Sedan, 5MT
(Crappy pics sorry)

Nice.. I had a Legacy to drive when I was out in Boston in June, great car.

Excellent ride/handling combination.

I like it. I don't like the body lines as much as 3G TL tho but I still like the car. awd must be nice with a 5MT and a turbo engine

Honestly it feels faster than my TL. It's not a GT limited so there are no power seats, no moonroof, and there wasn't leather but I had black leather w/ red stitching put in and it looks fantastic.

I think what I miss are the creature comforts of the TL, bluetooth, nav, the fancy xenons, reverse tilt mirrors... but I forget about them at around 3500 RPM.

I'm going w/ a CarPC, so i'll have nav/ipod/xm/backup cam/bluetooth. I can put xenons in place of the halogens in the projector housing, and KP Technologies even makes a reverse mirror tilt that is universal so if I really miss that I can get it.

It is a bit smaller than the TL, but 99% of the time it's just me in the car so i'm ok with that.

(oh and I really miss 6th gear.. this car needs one)

It's also $10k less than the TL so my car payments are less and the reg is cheaper!

Awesome, I had an 05 also, let me know if you need any recommendations. There seems to be a few ex legacy owners here. Also are you planning on going stage 2? (flash, UP, DP) Come to think of it I should still have the STi UP at home...

nice, I really wanted one of those when I was car shopping a while back. Only thing that stopped me was that it was a little out of my budget.

Nice.... Look here in car talk for the Subaru Legacy thread. You can always ask Mattg or me if you have any questions about your car.

JDM pinks, mesh grille, and Cobb AccessPort should be in your future.
