Having been pointed in the direction of a Legacy, I've been wondering whether I'd be better off with one of them rather than an Impreza, due to my having to commute 45 miles a day on the motorway.

Would it be a good choice or is it a poor relation to the Impreza?

Does anybody know much about them? How do they drive, are the autos worth looking at, as I heard they have a RWD bias and can be driven as a clutchless manual, so I take it that it changes gear when you tell it, not when IT wants?

Any info/opinions much appreciated.

I owned one for just under two years 5 speed manual was a great car



They drive very well, They are sequential twin turbo so the first one spools from about 2k and pulls hard to 4.5k there is a little drop in boost/power (VOD valley of death) wile the second larger turbo spools up and at 5k its full power all the way to the top, amazing system but is worth taking you time learning how to use the twins as if you don't you will drop it down into the VOD and there will be nothing until 5K. I think the 5 speed manuals are a 50/50 drive split and the autos are 40/60 maybe, they are defiantly different from the manuals. There share alot of drive train parts with the Impreza plus brakes.

I would get yourself over the UKlegacy.com and have a look through there are lots on there with B4's (BE5)
