Thx

Tuxmat made in CHINA weather tech made in USA

Can't wait for all these little floormat companies to go away, so many of them and they all only make mats for cars like 2015+

Tuxmat is way better than WeatherTech for these reasons: Better coverage all around; nicer looking; fits better and ages better; and the fit and finish is miles ahead; no matter how dirty the Tuxmats get they clean up and look like new. Problems with WeatherTech: you can never ever get them clean, even after washing and scrubbing they always look dirty; they scratch up easier and look worn out after a year from your shoes/boots wear marks; the rear mats are chinzy and cheap, very thin and terrible protection when you live in a winter environment (like Canada) as the lips around the edges are not very high and the water spills over on hard braking. Tuxmat looks elegant and rich looking and Weathertech looks like entry level and low rent. I've had both and it is Tuxmat for my cars. A Canadian company that makes a better product than the giant south of the border

@@youtubechannel8854 As Willie Sutton said: go where the money is and go there often. Most cars that are pre 2015 already have the mats in them and previously purchased. People buy mats when they get a new car so as a business model it probably does not make economic sense to carry an inventory when few are sold as compared to recent cars when you need to get them for its first winter.

Same with the new BRZ compared to the previous gen facelift. It's a unique Subaru designer skill.

The new brz does not look older thats a stretch

It was seriously the first thing I thought of haha. LOOKS OLD

Wild to think the Camry is no longer the most boring car in this segment.

It's cuz that's the legacy design

That’s what winter is for

subaru is for outdoor people who doesnt want to flex but still want capable car on very reasonable price.

That’s part of why I bought my Passat a few years ago. I like having a nice car, but I like that nobody’s ever commented on it.

U mean like toyota their parent company? Which is arguably the most appreciated car company in the world, some people just want a car to get them from A to B in adequate comfort

Same reason why people buy Camrys, Accords or Jettas. There is a market for people who want "just a car".

Am I the only one seeing genesis coupe?

It’s the awd take one for a spin in the snow with some winter tires and you will understand. On my second subaru now and will likely not change to anything else.

Subaru people buy these bacause, visibility, great safety ratings, cheap insurance, high retained value, comfort and most of all handle extremely well in cruddy weather.

Exactly looks too much Opel, Ford Hyundai Accent onfront

I was gonna say Hyundai camry lol

It looks like an obese WRX now.😂

Not that I'm picking on you, but that's a common misconception as to what AWD actually does. It was you good driving skills that saved your butt, not the AWD. Consider that the SUV that spun in front of you most likely had AWD or 4x4 too (~most SUV's have one or the other), and still spun as well. Good quality tires are the biggest factor here. "Drivers often assume that because they have all-wheel or 4-wheel drive, they will be safe in inclement weather or bad conditions. This isn't the case; while AWD improves straight-line traction, it does not help with cornering or braking, two essential elements of avoiding an accident." It only help you get moving from a stop. Doesn't help you steer or stop once you're moving. Probably stops worse due to the added weight. I have AWD too, just trying to clarify what it does.

@@grantmccarron3963 most SUVs either are fwd or have a real shitty AWD system which is basically glorified fwd. Subaru have the best AWD systems around.

@@TimberWulfIsHere think you missed my point

@@grantmccarron3963 Gladly, I got subaru & cross climate 2 tires

Imagine the Spec B owners

Ah yes, one of the best looking Subarus ever, the 2 decade old design aged really well. Sad to see how far they've fallen. Even the Legacy that succeeded the 4th gen looked worse than what it replaced, they had the guts to make fun of other car manufacturers for being "boring".

2005 Leggy GT manual (esp in wagon) is a unicorn. It was a near-perfect car.

@@beganny I have a 99 and I want to get an 06-07 6 speed turbo legacy

My poor outback xt limited 5speed is on its last legs from driving in snow and salt since 2005. It pains me seeing this is the spiritual successor.

I miss my 05 LGT

I have a jdm 1998 legacy b4 rsk, twin turbo making 330 hp. IMO they are underrated sleeper and super cheap. The 4th is nice because you have the 6speed on it.

I had a lightly modded 05 LGT manual wagon. Amazing car.

08 Spec B owner, loooove the thing.

@@skippylegrandgourou2069 The wagons especially, are the true sleepers. I rarely ever see a Wagon lol in my area. The 6 speed is nothing compare a true gem.

I have a JDM 1998 B4 RSK, love the EJ208 and the twin turbo setup. The second gen GTB look good and it is such a sleeper. Sadly parts are hard to find.

The crown may get similar highway mpg but the city mpg is where the Crown's hybrid system shines, which ends up making a huge difference in real world combined fuel economy.

@@CrazyWeeMonkey Fair point. It still seems like that the company who can give us a 51/53 mpg hybrid Camry, or a 36 mpg hybrid minivan, should really be doing better with the Crown.

As the owner of an NA and XT Outbacks, you will not get 31mpg unless your humming at 60 on a downhill. The around town mpg is abysmal. We're averaging around 22 overall.

Throw a 22 or 24mm sway bar in the rear and it transforms the driving mechanics. So much more fun.

Correct

Yes there is an option of all-wheel drive on a Camry

@toddtrcka7960 I had said you can't get it with the upgraded engine. You could not get a Camry with a v6 and all wheel drive. Only with the base 4 cylinder

I wish more cars had them! When I bought my Elantra I didn’t even notice it lacked a cd player. Not a total deal breaker but I would’ve gone more out of my way to test drive some Subarus with them. Now I have a binder of cds in a box

I only clicked on this video to see if Subaru would offer a manual transmission version. Of course, my expectation was NO, but I just wanted to confirm. No need to waste time watching the whole thing.

I am the same. I love my 2005 LGT 5MT. I've decided to just keep refurbishing it instead of buying anything new, especially since no STI. They just don't make them like they used to.

I sold my 05 GT and still regret it, even more than when I recently sold my 18 M2. Something about hydraulic steering, awd, and a momo 5 speed…

I got an ex Japan 2006 SI drive model...2.0 5 speed automatic...I did convert it to manual 2 years ago... The best car still ...quite impressive response...manuals are cool

I'm not sure how it is on this particular car but the older ones used the high beams at a low wattage as daytime running lights whenever you were in gear and the parking brake was disengaged. New ones as with a lot of cars have dedicated lights for DRLs generally

My uncle got a Subaru Legacy next thing I knew I had an outback and there is about 6 other people on that side of the family that got Subarus. It’s like a pandemic.

I can't remember a spec B with red seats . There was a B4 with blue seats before that though :)

@@DEVILTAZ35 It was the 05's. Red Leather. 06-09 had Leather with Blue Swade Accents.

Boom

I literally had a ‘92 Grand Prix STE V6 with it!

Damn it! I was going to order a 2023 limited XT(this was before my dealer had any info on it and we didn’t know they’d get rid of the limited xt), but then thought I’d get the touring xt instead once it was announced no more limited xt. I ended up not wanting to wait when I found a 21 limited with 4k miles, clean car fax, &for a “fantastic” price, 28k usd. I wish I waited for the touring xt now, because I really wanted the turbo. I’ll probably trade in next year for either a 23 or, if I can wait, a 24 with the turbo. I have a 10 month old son who I split custody with his mother, &his car seat fits fine. She has a 2011 pathfinder silver(top trim) that needs to be upgraded, so I’ll be getting her a new car shortly. Really pushing her towards a outback, even a cross trek or forester. I think I’m getting her to be more open to the idea. We live in New England, &she’s up in the white mountains area so I’d prefer her having the extra lift of the outback/crosstrek/forester/ascent. I live closer to the sea coast so the legacy will do fine for me.

@@halvorson566 The turbo is very worth it, upgrade man!

I would describe the power as adequate. It does make you drive like an old man. I'm 22 and drive a 2.5i Outback, but I do find that the power is fine, it's just not a performance rocket. I do think Subaru owners are the type of people that don't care or need to go sideways going 90 down a highway all the time, but I bet a little added power would be appreciated, especially since Subaru drivers are the type of people to take a lot of luggage and maybe head to the mountains, some additional power would be good

Fact = Buget

Preserve that baby

Only lag I notice with my 2021 Legacy Touring XT is a second or two after I floor it. Unlike their tester mine does fake shift when floored, but it doesn't seem too laggy.

The legacy is an all weather car. Makes no sense to buy it if you don't get snow. Sell it and get an Accord or Camry .

@@Catuyn17 There are lots of Subaru dealers in the Sunbelt and I see them all the time on the roads here. Very popular, snow or not.

I can't stand those new centre display screens though.

@@DEVILTAZ35 not my favorite either. Especially the Outback.

It had sick wheels and stuff

@@TheStraightPipes Aw really? Mine were the ugliest things ever. I hated them. Instead of replacing them, someone just stole the car, so I guess that kind of fixed it.

At least in the US, it meant it got a non-DCCD STi 6 speed

@@aphex28 on Europe too. Still got mine till see a proper replacement. Sadly Subaru took the bad decision to don't sell it anymore in Europe.

@@KSenhor yeah I have a 2010 gt myself (and a Miata)

First gen legacies with a manual 5MT had a perfect 50/50 split

@@epsilon4052 Yup, but anything with the CVT is using the newer systems which are slightly front biased. In most slippery conditions this is actually ideal. But having a rear diff activate all of a sudden when slipping, like the Toyota, does not feel as good or secure. I drove a friend's Sienna with AWD a few times and I found there was a couple of seconds where the rear engaging suddenly caused an unnecessary fishtail effect. Still useful to have it, but not as stable as full time AWD. Toyota (and many other manufacturers) do this to improve the MPG figures, which is useful for sales. When comparing the Legacy to the Camry AWD, customers could assume the AWD is similar but the MPG is better. They won't know the differences in the AWD system.

@@Senvae I’m not disagreeing at all. I think part time awd is kind of dumb. The key to being a good driver is being able to predict how your vehicle moves and adjust properly. Throw in that and all you can do is hope, at least at higher speeds.

Shout out!!

So what's a Skoda? Or Nissan Murano or Juke 🤷🙅💀

It was the cvt

@thehemwickhag9270 Subaru holds value and has a decent AWD system. They are also reliable and safe. I think that has a lot to do with it. I have never owned a Mazda but some of my friends have over the years and they have been okay in the reliability department but their resale is horrible. I do like the Mazda 3!

Subaru has relied on its AWD system to bring in customers and almost every manufacturer offers AWD. Exterior and interior on Subaru isn’t very good while the competition is way better. That once specialness is gone

2nd that!! Shopping the Arteon hard with these changes.

@@upshifter5316 I own a 2023 SEL R Line 4 Motion and it’s fantastic. Upgraded to it from a Mk7 Golf R and haven’t looked back since. If you can spring for the premium or find one without ventilated seats being deleted then swing for it.

@@willsingleton2905 awesome thanks! How’s the touch HVAC controls etc? Get used to it or as bad as they say it is in new GTI/R? Honestly that’s the only thing I’m not sure about.

@@upshifter5316 I really don’t mind it. Plus the good thing with the Arteon is that it’s a blend of the Mk7.5/8 Golf interiors. The HVAC controls can be reversed back to the traditional Mk7 AC controls as many have done the reverse on Mk7 Golf’s. The steering wheel’s haptic controls can get in the way occasionally as I’ll press the steering wheel heater occasionally while turning but I generally don’t mind it makes the interior feel a bit more elevated. Overall it’s very nice for the price point and my 23 had the foot operated power trunk which was a nice addition along with my favorite OEM wheels.

@@willsingleton2905 You rock man. Appreciate the feedback. Yes the wheels man… the whole package looks like you are getting away with something. With this power train I think it’s the best kept open secret on the market.

Dang. Pre refresh I guess

Heard rumor that Subaru will launch a firmware update for prior year vehicles with same size screen to be the same as 2023. Just not sure when.

They were good as long as you added 18 inch wheels. The 17's didn't really handle too well.

You’ll be unstoppable 🙌

…except you’ll definitely be able to stop

It’s good for a midsize sedan, but the WRX will be better. The Legacy chassis is very stiff, but the suspension is softer. It rides very nice and smooth and soaks up bumps while being able to corner well at normal speeds.

I’m a 21 manual Wrx owner, but I’d take this over a new Wrx

@gocars If you were to drive the new WRX you'd sell your 21 for it immediately. Much better car

Ever since the Lancer died they’ve lost their motivation.

Don't know if I like the design of the body! Last years looks better

I have legacy bd5 rs 1997, new models less interesting)

@@revelare_xvii6269 so bc Mitsubishi killed the Evo that's the reason Subaru died out? Makes no sense dude
