Subaru Legacy, is there still a turbo version?

[Bad Sir Culation]

I'm really struggling to find info about these. I know they used to make a twin turbo Legacy, but what do they make now? The 03 - 09 shape car is the one I'm talking about.

Also, what are they like in estate form, compared to a similar age Impreza wagon?

[GravelBen]

Yep, they've never stopped making turbo Legacies. 03-09 shape has the single twinscroll turbo (on the 2.0 JDM version at least, later Aus and NZ spec got the lazier 2.5 instead) rather than the earlier twins and is generally regarded as being better in most ways.

Much, much more refined and luxurious than an Impreza while still being great to drive.

See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Legacy_%28four...

There is also an STi model http://www.insideline.com/subaru/legacy/2008/first...

Only ever seen one of these and that was owned by Prodrive.

The Twinscroll Legacy estate is a fantastic car, I have said it before and I will say it again.. pound for pound one of the best cars in the world.

Are you looking to buy one?

[cailean]

Yes, but not new ones on sale in the UK...sadly...

Possibly. I'm still making up my mind ahead of buying next year, hopefully by the spring. I've gone through everything from a Z4M and a Boxster S, to an M5 and then Imprezas and Legacies in my search for the perfect car! Just doing my research

I was driving an MR2 until recently and am now running around in a 93 WRX wagon for the winter, which I've found myself enjoying more than I imagined. I don't think the newer Impreza wagons look as good as the Legacy estates, so I am now having a look at them.

Do Legacies have the DCCD to divert more torque to the rear?

Unfortunately not, though you can swap them in - my mechanic is running DCCD in his '02 Legacy. (along with a 6-speed box and forged 2.5 with a big turbo and 650bhp!)
