Two out of four ain't bad, I guess.
The perfect vehicle, as proclaimed by auto journalists and web commenters alike, is a brown diesel manual wagon. Here, however, the rally-legend Subaru turbo flat-four is a better choice for a hot daddymobile than a nasty oilburner. The low-key blue paint won't turn heads at the PTA, but will be near invisible to over-zealous traffic enforcement.
The Subaru Legacy 2.5GT wagon, in other words, is an Impreza WRX STI for grownups.
This 2005 Legacy wagon has the relatively rare five-speed manual, again cementing the rally roots of this quick family truckster. This one could use a little detailing as the rear tint is badly marked up and the finish on the steering wheel isn't the best. But, for under $9,000, this looks to be a great buy.
It's not as collectible as the Legacy Spec B, but that was never available here as a wagon.
I keep seeing a black Legacy 2.5GT on my commute and it never fails to catch my eye. Moderately lowered with big dark wheels and dark tint, it idles with that distinctive Subaru burble. The wife would kill me were I to dump the minivan for something smaller, but my daily drive could use a bit more fun.
