Must be well behaved kids Jump in the back and compare them. Quite a difference.

@Scoobydoo, are you in Auckland? Well come to come sit in my BM For fuel economy I'd probably go 2.5 NA. The 2.0 NA is gutless and boring and the 2L GT and 3L H6 are thirsty at times. The BM/BR have a much cheaper fascia kit if you find one without the GPS/Screen stock headunit. BP Legacy are generally cheaper which gives you the extra cash to buy a fascia kit. Another thing to consider it rear leg room. I found the BL/BP to be quite cramped in the back seat compared to the BE/BH and BM/BR Legacys.

Lol those stickers mean nothing. I've seen "400kW+" stickered cars do sub 300kw on hub dynos. At the end of the day, it's your car, you don't have to justify your decisions but the guys/gals on here have great advice on how to make your car perform. Don't just be one of these guys: chasing-numbers.jpg

Put some LEDs into it: Oh yeah... and bought the damn thing

Yeah, having had my 3rd Gen Legacy with the EZ30, I was quite happy as the balance of performance, handling, comfort and ability to cruise. Was just a good all rounder.

Interesting. Talking to @Zenki and he recommended 3L mechanically also.

Just looking for people's opinions/experiences with 4th Gen 2L Turbo and 3L NA Legacy/Outback models. Any major downsides to either? Specifically looking at Automatics in this comparison.

I've just done a quick hunt on Google Maps satellite view. Not as far west as I thought.

Fair enough, at full beans in an enclosed space I can imagine that thing would be awfully loud even with proper noise protection.

I had TRW pads and rotors in my Legacy. Work well and not overly pricey.

I thought 215/40R18 tyres are only allowed on 7.0-8.5" wheels?

I wasn't even aware voting had opened... Kinda glad my car isn't featured. Would be hard to look at.

Guess I'll find out when I take it for a drive Tiptronic mode = how many gears do you have little car

Trying to narrow down my options. So many BP wagoooooons available on the market, just have to decide on which particular flavour I want Hmmmm..... Maybe different for NZ New?

Quick question for you BP Outbackers... They 4AT or 5AT trans?

Said goodbye to it...

Yeah I use OEM oil filters, Ryco for air and cabin.

I'll post up on my garage thread when I know more.

Anyone know this car or the owner? https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1414030945

Ideally get a reflash as NZ fuels are substantially different to Japan. ECU reset is never a bad thing tho.
