This is a beautiful AWD Legacy GT Turbo. It is in excellent condition for year and mileage. I performed all the regular maintenance myself as I'm not comfortable with someone else working on my vehicle. It gets 27mpg on the highway average. It's excellent in the snow, like a snowmobile basically, with all season tires I had no problem going out for joy rides in the snowstorms. So if you want to make sure you can travel in the snow this car is at the top of the list with the symmetrical all wheel drive full time. The AC is excellent with dual climate control and the heated seats for winter are nice and hot. Recently I lost a Turbo to a clogged banjo bolt in the oil supply line dedicated to the turbo . No shavings made it thru as the turbo was dry and the return oil line was split and bone dry so no metals in the motor. Im going into detail here for the Subaru enthusiasts this is common knowledge of the banjo problem with the 05 and 06 years. I purchased a new rebuilt VF42 Turbo from Turbokits.com along with: New Perrin BOV, Cobb 3-way solenoid, Perrin turbo inlet hose, AEM cold air intake, and Cobb access port. I installed new turbo and components myself, cleaned out intercooler and replaced all banjo bolts and removed all banjo screens. It was professionally tuned by Akuma Motorsports in New Jersey. I replaced all the extra components with aftermarket parts as a security measure to protect the new turbo. The new turbo has 1600 miles on it. I replaced the oil after a 5 min warmup then 100 miles drive, then 500 miles drive all oil was clean. I used Amsoil and now Motul full synthetic oil in this car.

The Mountain, the Manx, the BRZ and how I learned to love racing
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Subaru Takes Us Along To Drive On The Isle of Man, And We Try Not To Ball It Up
While the mild dehydration wasn't helping me, it was probably the least of my worries.
I am not a timid driver, nor an inexperienced one. But waiting to take a lap of the stunningly dangerous, 37.7-mile Snaefell Mountain Course at the Isle of Man TT had me on tilt, no fooling. I concentrated on the task in front of me, left hand working the gear pattern on the right-hand-drive Subaru BRZ I was to pilot, while kids on bikes, fat old beer-drinking men and other members of a fast-growing throng of onlookers pointed at our group of five Subarus and nine Americans. We were moments from our 'demonstration' for the motorcycle racing-hungry crowd and I was awfully glad, at that exact moment, that I'd emptied my bladder before buckling in.
Subaru takes another look back, this time at the 2004 WRX STI
Sat, 21 Dec 2013Here we have the followup to the rally-mimicking Impreza 22B STI that Subaru recently chronicled in its Vintage Garage series: the 2004 Impreza WRX STI. Displacement for the boxer four was upped from 2.2 liters to 2.5, and after noticing how many buyers had installed larger turbochargers on their WRXs, Subaru decided to bolt on one in-house. That gave the final product 300 horsepower and a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour run of just 4.6 seconds.
It was stiffer, it's body from nose to front doors was penned by Peter Stephens, he of the McLaren F1, it came with a driver-controlled center differential, driver-activated cooling spray for the turbos and 300 pound-feet of torque. This is a curio from a time when, after a new WRX STI came out, you started poring through magazines to see how the Mitubishi Evo was going to respond. You can find out more about it in the video below.
Subaru BRZ gets updates, limited-edition Series.Blue model for 2015
Thu, 29 May 2014The popular complaint about the Subaru BRZ is that its 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter-boxer engine is underpowered compared to other, modern sports coupes. Subaru isn't doing anything to address that for the 2015 model year BRZ, but the company does have some aesthetic upgrades ready for its rear-wheel-drive two-door and a limited-edition version with a more aggressive body.
The big news for the 2015 BRZ is the Series.Blue Special Edition (pictured above) that is limited to 1,000 units for the US with 500 of them in the brand's famous WR Blue Pearl and the other 500 in Crystal White Pearl. Mechanically, the special models are unchanged with the 2.0-liter boxer engine and a six-speed manual, but they wear an exclusive, black, STI-branded body kit that includes a new lower-lip front spoiler, rear spoiler, side sills and underbody panels. Subaru claims the whole setup increases front downforce and decreases the car's coefficient of drag from 0.28 to 0.27. To match the new kit, the limited-edition cars feature black, 17-inch wheels from STI with contrasting red brake calipers hiding behind them. The interior sees nearly as many changes as the outside with black and blue leather sport seats with blue stitching, and a similar motif for the steering wheel, shift boot, parking brake and kneepads. The illuminated engine start button gets an STI logo, as well. The Series.Blue arrives at dealers in July for $30,285, after the $795 destination charge.
The rest of the BRZ lineup isn't left out and has some minor upgrades of its own, with revised damper settings, stainless steel exhaust tips, a body-color shark fin antenna and a simulated carbon fiber dashboard panel - similar to the upgrades found on the 2015 Scion FR-S. Two new colors are available - Ice Silver Metallic and Crystal White Pearl. Prices are up $100 across the board for 2015. After destination, the Premium trim is $26,490; the Limited is $28,490; the Limited with an automatic transmission is $29,590. The 2015 models hit dealers this summer.
