Replying to: rellom (Jul 15, 2004 5:07 pm) Also, will anyone who (like lotsabones, above) gets near 25mpg or over with the turbo (Legacy or Outback) please post your experiences. I'm printing out the info and placing it on the wife's pillow. Those getting less than 20 need not apply--this is a domestic sticking point.

Tom: Below is the photo of my rear wheel well. I think I also have the trim that you asked about.  Craig: Below is a photo of the subwoofer. It's TINY! It's smaller than the unit in my Forester. I'd say it's roughly the width and height of a VCR tape. It does extend further into the seat than the photo shows, however.  Hope that helps. Ken |

That is a small Sub, looks smaller than the one in my WRX (which is about 8" x 10"). Maybe I will just leave it alone! Craig |

Yup, that's the fender trip I was talking about. It's just interesting it's not on the front fender, but Craig answered that question too. Phil- congrats on the new wagon. I'm glad you got the MT, i was starting to feel lonely. How do you like the short shifter? I'm thinking about installing it, and there isn't one at any of the dealers near me to try. I'm getting a little over 21 mpg in mostly city driving. I drive up and down a lot of hills so my mileage has been on the low side of every car I've owned. I suspect if you live where it's more level you're mileage would be better. If you drive gently I think you can do even better. tom |

Anybody know the max cargo weights for the Outback and Legacy GT wagons? Or gross weights? Can't seem to find this info anywhere. I'm curious if there is a difference betweenthe two. Interesting that Subaru gives the towing loads and tongue weight, but not the cargo loads. thanks, Craig

alpha: I'll take leather, I guess, but I don't want to pay for it. The LTD package costs more than a moonroof alone would, by far. And Seth mentioned something in the chat last night - he doesn't like power seats. I find they can be annoyingly slow at times, and that's another thing I wouldn't want to pay for. Congrats, Phil, wow, it replaces a GS400? I'm telling you, we are seeing the Legacy replace cars priced much higher. Both wagons have a 900 lbs payload, sedans 850. -juice |

Finally had a chance to compare a GT to a 2.5i (that I tested before.) It's obviously faster, but off-the-line the two feel very close. The steering is a bit faster but doesn't feel tighter. The manual tranny feels just as smooth. To be the devil's advocate, I think Subaru priced the base 2.5i too low. In my opinion, there is not enough added value to justify the GT ($5K more) or the 2.5i Ltd ($3.5K.) The 2.5i has so much trickle-down goodness, I should hurry and get one before they notice
