Hey guys,
I have been trawling the internet for a Legacy Forum and I have now found one.
First Ill introduce myself. Name's Chef. Or Bean. Or Karl. I live in Nelson, New Zealand. I did notice a few Kiwi members on here. That's mint.
I've looking at new cars and found a pearler of a Legacy GT for sale. It's 2003, 140000km on the clock, Cambelt was replaced at 120000km, CV just been done, Front and Rear discs just been done and has only been in the country for 6months.
My biggest question is this. Does this engine (2.0litre Single Turbo) have any major problems to deal with? Now I understand ALL cars have faults. But I just don't want to be finding a huge problem down the road in foreseeable future. Also some of my mates have told me not too with the usual blurp about Subaru's being unreliable in general. Which I think is cads wallop you just gotta treat your car right (also most of the people I tend to speak who have had problems have whacked on boost taps cranked the boost to 10000000000 pounds and boom, good bye engine). These Single turbos are dahm quick I test drove one in Nelson. Quicker than the old twin turbo I think.
Anyways if you can get back to me that would be great and I could be joining the Legacy club sooner rather than later.
Cheers
Chef, Bean, Karl
