I'm not sure what years had the Head gasket problem but I think it was before 2002 model year. Check out the forums on www.legacygt.com for lots of great information on all Legacys.

sorry, pee pee, but i've got to concur with mlctvt....that concept is pretty fugly and there's nothing, imo, "cool" about it....
granted, it's always wrong to judge a car only by pictures. bmw's new X6 looks pretty horrendous in pictures, but, in real life, it's pretty bad-a**.

My wife doesn't drive stick, plus living in a congested area pretty much dictates an AT for me. That being said, I make good use out the the sports shift in many situations. (Slippery roads, passing another car, windy roads) It does make up (just a bit) for the complete lack of feel of an AT.

Pictures really don't do the car justice---I've seen the car and stand by SA_WEET

I am interested in what they do with the Outback in this redesign.
I did a 2 year lease on my Forester, knowing the diesel was on the way. If diesel stays w/in 1.00 of gas and the diesel isn't more than 2K over the gas motor (about the price of the XT), there is a very good chance that will be my next Subie. Or... I will get a used 05-06 Leg GT and a Miata for about the same $$.

My wife was more insistent on sticking with a 5spd than I was. One of the reasons I married her.
I had a loaner for a day with the sport shift. Maybe I just didn't get the feel for it, but I couldn't really tell what gear I was in at the moment so I just stuck it in auto.

True...you can't tell by position, only feel. I really only use it to drop gears, so that's not an issue. If I'm coming on an icy curve, I'll pop it down a gear. It's pretty much an knee jerk reaction. This is the third vehicle that I've had with this kind of transmission. It's a nice compromise.
