Thinking about getting one after I had one on holiday in NZ. How do they rate? Looking at something like a 2.0L GLS, but i see there are some 2.0L Twin Turbo's too :cool:

I've had a couple. First was a 2.0 turbo and was bloody amazing and half the price of a similar Impreza.

i had a 350hp GT-B Wagon. It was fanastic. It ran 18psi of boost all the time and was great (apart from the fuel bill) Caution !!!! Slippery when boosting |

I had a Legacy turbo for a bit a couple of years ago. Great fun and at the time less than half the price of an impreza but nearly as fast.

Reliability is good as with most Japanese stuff. Cambelts need doing to schedule but that goes for virtually any modern car really.

My old turbo was faultless, I never had to change anything except brakes and tyres and a cambelt for 60k miles (and when I bought it it has 100k on the clock).

Still waiting for the 2005 Legacy GT estate available over here to come down to 17/18K; Once it does, I'll be purchasing one...

If you look carefully, you can actually see the fuel gauge zooming downwards as well!
