I bought a 2007 Subaru Legacy GT Limited wagon last night. I have been looking for this car since 2005 when they changed the body style - I LOVE the wagon's looks.
My job requires me to report to work when bad weather hits, and there have been a couple times I have been worried I wouldn't make it in (and miss out on time-and-a-half and even double-time). I'd been seriously looking for a couple months (not-so-seriously every day for 5 years) and was resigned that I wouldn't find exactly what I wanted so I started looking at other cars. Then this popped up (the only 2007 I have ever seen - and one of 3 GT Limited wagons east of the Mississippi) and I knew I would wind up buying it if I drove it.







One of my concerns about buying another car was that the tC is so reliable I never have to worry about it. Well, it hadn't even been 12 hours and this one threw a check engine light. These are notorious for having a rough idle and fowling. And that's the code I got. They just cleared it and it seems to be fine again. We'll see how long that lasts.

And for those of you keeping track at home, this is the 5th car currently in my possession. Even I think this is ridiculous. My tC is for sale in the classifieds, take a look.

So what do you folks think?

 

Subaru.... Yes! Wagon..... No!













IMO

 

subaru yes wagon yes, i wanna wrx wagon, good looking interior

 

my mom has a 2005 legacy GT limited sedan. car is great. only annoying thing about it is the foglights can't seem to last very long. but the car is awesome in the snow. put on some good winter tires and you'll never have to worry about the weather unless the snow accumulation is higher than the ground clearance.

 

i wish i had a subaru.
When we got 9 inches of snow , i never been so scared on the road. The tc was sliding all over the road. It even have all season tires.

 

wrx wagon is probly one of my favorite cars. i also love how it handles in the snow AWD FTW!!! nice car man the legacy is really nice

 

Before I got the tC I had an Audi A6 and that's when I fell in love with AWD. I loved driving it (the 4 months per year it wasn't in the shop) eventhough it wasn't really quick.
The Legacy was definitely owned by a woman before I got it. I pulled out mounds of hair from under the driver's seat along with some food (not just crumbs) and a pair of eyeglasses.
Today it ran well, only hinting at the idle issues. Hopefully this isn't something I have to deal with a lot.
Glad to see there are other wagon lovers out there!

 

Well the symptoms came back and the check engine light came back on. Owned the car less than 48 hours and it's been in the shop twice now. This time I left it there.
This really sucks.

I might start suggesting people keep their tCs if they are thinking about trading.

 

It looks like something my grandma would drive.

 

Good choice....
Requesting engine please.

 

your grandma has great taste then, she'd smoke your tC

 

grandma would runover ya'll tc haha!

go grany

 

Congrats on getting the car you wanted, hope it gets fixed!

 

Please keep us updated. i hope you got your car back now. It would very useful in all those snow.

 

Wagon = Win

 

my dad drives the sedan these are awesome

 

LOVE Wagons and Love Subaru. Good call on the legacy GT. I've always wanted a WRX Wagon or a Forester

 

Thanks everyone.

I was supposed to take it in yesterday for the work. But I have been on the clock since 6:30am Friday because of the snow so I couldn't take it in. I'm scheduled to drop it off on Monday now.

Luckily I got to pick it up before all the snow and I can say I'm already in love. I would have spent hours digging out my tC (which is to come soon) and I got the Subaru out in about 10 minutes. I would have gotten it out sooner if I wasn't worried about scratching the paint. And I drove a lot faster than I would have felt comfortable in the tC.
I've found as long as it gets warmed up - meaning normal operating temp, no lower - it runs fine.
