Hey guys. The new Legacy has some pretty nice gauges IMO. They feature a cool animation when you start the car. Here is a pic of the instrument cluster whle the car is starting up.

the legacy and STi both do that, rev to 9k rpm and drop. too bad my wrx doesnt :(

Subaru really making good progress these years...with the WRX...then then STi...then the Forester XT...and now the Legacy GT. I think what they should do now is change their warranty from 3 years to 4 years.....just to step their game and play with the big boys.

does the warranties for the WRX, STI, and GT get voided for track day racing like Mitsu's?

[IgotWRXed]

well yes and no. mitsu is notorious for their online incidents, SOA doesnt do that or hasnt done that. but they arent the most warranty friendly either :( basically, if you break something whilst tracking the car, u gotta pay for it. something breaks that might be associated with a modded part, u pay.

for instance, if my tranny was roasted and i had a full set of power mods, they would prob make me pay for it.

you just need to know which dealers to take it to. but realistically, pretty much all the guys tuning their cars on my board havent been to adealer in a looooooong time.

you cant mod your car and expect the warranty to cover it, you gotta pay to play

but what you have to realize with pretty much all of the aforementioned cars, they have been overseas for years, its only new to north america. :(

^ They dont cover stuff if they think that you have been racing and they also give you a free membership to SCCA but the first time you partake in an event your warrenty is void. Nice of them, eh? :?

[IgotWRXed]

dont even start. wanna hear the worst of it? you can purchase SPT (subaru performance tuning) parts from them at the dealership to go on your car, like an STi muffler for your WRX, but the part isnt covered by them

Yeah, I totally aware of that. I guess Subaru finally realize it is worthed it to spend those extra money in bring turbo engines back to NA. Long time ago, u barely see subaru commecials on TV (only those Outback ones every so often). Now I see Subaru commecials during F1 Qualifying and Race, constantly on TSN and speed channels......

In Canada, AWD does sell cars, but in this era, it also have to come along with a decent interior, power and luxury. As u know, the previous generation Legacy doesn't have a nice interior, but they changed it ALOT on this generation.

if you are interested, i posted a link to a Ride and Drive writeup of the new Legacy authored by a Mod on my board.
