I've no doubt you really love your car but you probably need to stop evangelising because you're sounding like a bit of a mentaloid.

That's how I view your Subaru, all these things are relative

your 320D would be easy meat for a Legacy with a 0-60 of 7.5s but enjoy the derv anyway, its a useful drive for pottering about

likewise, but its rude not to correct inaccurate figures, its a motoring forum at the end of the day - you can log onto mumsnet if you wish >>>>

The Subaru is an OK car, that we can all agree. Now shall we move on.

An ok car that's not very fast.

0-100 mph (160.9 kph): 14.0 secs

I can't imagine not having something faster.

Thats ok though for a family car.

Your Subaru would be in the way in everything else I drive. Likely the 320d as well point to point

Talk about shovel and hole!

Serious questions about IQ levels here! Strange fellow.

the only thing strange is the inability of posters to understand the need for owners of German cars to give chase to some decade old Subaru after getting left for dust?. But that is not easily communicated here what with every tom dick and harry brainwashed with German cars it seems to have escaped them that many of the dervs are slow and a daily humdrum ensues which usually results in said cars getting spanked on a frequent basis by more interesting cars on the road.

Are you actually mentally unstable? You post a video of you overtaking an Audi being driven completely normal and go off on a rant about German motors being rubbish. You drive and old Subaru as a daily, who cares. If it's top trumps you want to play then try spanking my 13 year old diesel 5 series, it only has about 330bhp....

try stop and start traffic, no lag in the Legacy - if a 320d was slowing down at 50mph the Legacy would leave it behind easily, ditto to overtakes as previously mentioned. 0-60 in the Legacy is 6.5s or so which is much faster than that 320D, overall the 3.0 engine is far smoother right to the red line with no lag or anything to worry about and I think you need to look into the SpecB a bit more, it can do 100 faster than 18seconds

Audi drivers are the same as bmw drivers 15 years ago. The s cars are dull as dishwater. Understeery, no steering feel. Would rather an acid enema than have my old s car back. Simply awful.

Seems those claimed figures didn't stand up in actual testing.


http://www.zeperfs.com/en/fiche5517-subaru-legacy-...

e.g. the claimed figure of 0-100 kph of 6.9s turned out to be 7.9s on test.


Not only that, I rather suspect a ten year old car is going to be well short of the new car test figures.

Cannot believe we are discussing (lack of) performance of a 320d BMW. Ubiquitous, dull transport with an even more dull ditch pump engine.

[Rojibo]

Objectively, still a better car than a Subaru Legacy though.

Strawpoll, 320D or Subaru Legacy, which would you pick?

I don’t do diesels and I’d still choose the 320D.

We’re not. We are discussing the relative performance of an old Subaru.

Now that depends on the 320d. For example:

I'd choose a Legacy Spec.B estate with a manual over an E46 320d SE touring with an auto.

But I'd choose an E92 320d M Sport over the Legacy.


In all fairness to Little Rick, the H6 in the Legacy is a lovely engine, and the estate looks brilliant, interior has aged pretty good as well. But if he's so obsessed with "racing" German cars, I can't understand why he didn't get a Subaru that could actually leave them, E.G an Impreza. I drove a Legacy Spec.B estate that I was interested in buying, my old E46 330d 184 was noticeably the quicker car.

Good point - now with added poll:
