This 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon is Matt's favorite production model and body style of all time from the Automaker. It features the powertrain from the WRX STI in a larger, more luxurious, and better made package. This example has engine, suspension, and brake upgrades to make it ready for not only the race track, but also
high-altitude family hauling, as it comes to us in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip from Colorado.

You can see this guy actually has some pride in his car. It's a 12 year old car, but looks cleaner inside and out than some of the people's cars on here looked that were only one or two years old.

@danryan2810 7 лет назад

Great compromise with vehicle on performance mods...hear the sensible Dad voice who doesn't need to impress anymore. Enjoyable review with 2 older gentlemen...

A white 2005 subaru legacy GT wagon with a stick! Totally my dream car.....this made my morning!

@masonhu4676 6 лет назад

Exactly what I drive. I am going to be so bummed when it reaches end of life if Subaru of America still hasn't come to their senses to bring this model back. (and I drove a 1992, all white 5sp manual Subaru wagon, before this). Maybe will have to wait for the Genesis G70 wagon...

@buckroo77 5 лет назад

heaps here in New zealand, and with the jdm body kit and not the ugly half out back loik like this one in the video

@robinsontanner1234 5 лет назад

you should try the lgt wagon with a 6 speed :)

@rite2beararms 5 лет назад

@@masonhu4676 Why does it have to end? My OBXT (same as this, but lifted) had 218k miles on it when the 5mt started making noise. Instead of messing around, I went for the JDM Spec B swap. A complete pallet of driveline parts with 48kmiles on them shipped to my door. Imagine your wagon with the tall geared 6mt, R180 rear diff, bigger rear brakes, and a new lease on life for under $4k. Do it!

@ChaosphereIX 7 лет назад

This is the one Subaru I would get. Very clean, much appreciated. An STI for grown ups. BTW love how Matt says "Morning kids!" - he really knows his core audience - bunch of kids who bench race while driving mom's van or a clapped out Civic.

@freaksavior 7 лет назад

14:21 Besides the constant failure from the ej25x, the biggest downfall of the 4th gen legacy was indeed the radio. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make an integrated AC unit with the radio should have been fired and banned from the auto industry.

@Nguyen360 7 лет назад

I had a 2005 Legacy GT, and the japanese market had the HVAC controls and Radio separate. You can swap them, but it was expensive... and you have to import/ find them in japan... But yes fuck that guy for putting them together for the North American market.

@dawsonjohannes613 7 лет назад

It is so refreshing to see a guy who really knows his shit and seems like a down to earth, laid back guy having some fun with his car.

@davidb.301 6 лет назад

Exactly my thoughts. I scrolled down to see if anyone thought the same thing. You were the first I found. :) You say he's down to earth. To me he seems to be in a higher consciousness. The way he talked about increasing the size of the oil pump and oil pan and all that stuff. Matt was like "you sir are in tune with your car."

@andrewcoffin2557 3 года назад

Had this exact car, white 05 LGT wagon w a stick, love what this guy has done with his. Mine was not a paragon of reliability but was a blast to drive in its lightly modded state. Great sleeper car., drove it hard, and never got a ticket. Sadly there are no Subarus now (other than WRX) that stir an enthusiast passion, so I’ve moved on the a Golf R.

@mrrazard 3 года назад

He unfortunately had it up for sale

@smalljaws8137 7 лет назад

Legacy gt wagon, the first gen forester xt, and outback xt are my favorite subarus

@batulaut 7 лет назад

A note on the JDM STI engine: they have dual AVCS, twin scroll turbo, and equal length headers. Plus 8k redline, sounds almost like a VTEC at the top. And they are 2 liters.

@joshrazo2355 Год назад

I'm a new father, I think this will be my next vehicle. Such a sleeper.

Find a Legacy GT Spec B in decent shape and you have found yourself a unicorn, most under rated sedan in my opinion

@MrJOEYRULES2 7 лет назад

This is my all time favorite subaru! I have been looking for one for years, I can only dream for now...

@SubaruWRXspdManual 7 лет назад

One of the great sleepers from the factory. I always perk up a bit when I see an older legacy sedan or legacy wagon(rarely) with the subtle hood scoop. I like to peek in if I can and see if it's a manual.

@ericmoon885 11 месяцев назад

I have a 2006 legacy GT wagon manual and I still get excited every time I drive it ! It is by far the fastest smoothest car I’ve ever driven agree about a sixth gear Couldn’t recommend one enough superb 😁

@actyankeefan 6 лет назад

The stereo issue is easily remedied. I also have an 05 LGT wagon. You can swap out a stereo unit from a later model 07-09. The later model stereo plays mp3 discs and has aux in and satellite capability. A company called GROM sells a unit that plugs in to the stock satellite radio connection in the rear of the unit. The Grom unit has Bluetooth, hands free calling, iPod and Android usb connectivity. Cost me about 250 for a junk yard radio and the Grom BT3. This completely modernizes the radio at low cost. I love my LGT.

@klasseact6663 7 лет назад

Love how it looks with all the Windows tinted and black pillars, very uniform! I think this is a great looking wagon, well done!!

THIS VIDEO IS 5 YEARS AGO AND STILL THE BEST OR THE DEFINITION OF "CLEEEAAAN" CAR. He knows what hes doing. Fckng clean dawg

@8flowdojo842 3 года назад

I have this exact car, but the sedan. I love it more than the 2010 WRX premium sedan I once owned. It's labor of love rebuilding this car. I'm having a new clutch installed now & a bunch of other replacements. It really is the best car Subaru ever made & nobody realizes it has the STI engine. I only found it trying to find a used WRX for under $9k. I paid $5k for the LGT with another $4k of needed fixes happening now. I plan to even replace the engine when it goes I dig this car that much. Great video! The wagons are impossible to find. They only made it manual in 2005. I prefer the sedan for me, but do wish I could sleep in it comfortably.

@vgnfab 6 лет назад

Awesome. I have an 05 OBXT. Doing a 6 speed swap myself was one of the first things I did after building an engine. Then I built my own coilovers. Then FMIC, diy tuning, alcohol injection, sti turbo. Now it's the stereo. Super sleeper, very professional looking, and truly is like you say, an STI for adults.Thanks for the language about the group N trans and motor mounts. I looked that up, and definitely need to go that way.

@bmwmsport11 7 лет назад

Too bad Subaru doesn't make anymore turbo Outbacks, or even STI wagons. Not enough variety in subaru performance cars. You either get the WRX or the STI, maybe a forester xt at the cost of having a CVT

@erickh380 7 лет назад

bmwmsport11 the forester would probably take over the 30% of the wrx market if it came with a manual

@vvevvevvvv 7 лет назад

there is a Levorg in Europe with 1.6 turbo. And 2 liter turbo in Japan and Australia

@aaron5222 7 лет назад

Victor Pascua I will sell my STI for one

@Racer57 7 лет назад

They won't bring it despite how many Outbacks/Legacy's sold over the years. The Outback is now an SUV to boost the MPG average across their SUV fleet. The entire American market has gone to SUV's.

@csechrist1 6 лет назад

Late to the party on this one. I drive an 04 FXT and love it but really want a Legacy GT. Lower, sharper handling from the factory, and more luggage space for weekends. I think the difference in sound has to do with the Legacy's dual-tip exhaust with the y-pipe versus the single in the Imprezas.

@bigjoshy3531 7 лет назад

Great time to post this one, Matt, right when I'm trying to refrain myself from buying one lol

Founder of AutoTempest here. Both of those things are on our to-do list. (More filters first.) For now though, you can do quite a bit with the keywords field. (Especially if you're searching for a particular trim level.) Hopefully that helps!

@YasumotoUS 6 лет назад

Love this build and constantly wonder why Subaru doesn't pair their 2.0L turbo with the current Legacy offerings and a manual transmission. The Forester XT comes closest, I suppose. I echo the interior impression. My folks had an '07 outback wagon and lordy that fit like a glove with surprisingly good cornering coupled with an amazingly comfy and stable highway experience. Alas, automatic and non-turbo powerplant...

@MrVIPMan250 7 лет назад

I guess being from Australia changes my views on them being an oddball since these are common modified. There's heaps of people who own modified Libertys/Legacys

So far so good, and Highway mileage is a bit better than US spec. I too have a Honda Element as a second car too hahaha Great car actually, don’t hate.
