Did they offer direct injection back then?

@@tatankahanska120 uh no? Its an ej255 with normal fuel injectors.

I have rhe 05 gt wagon in the garnet red pearl modified as turbo failure ended the oem engine i have the ej20x paired to a 06 sti 6spd. By far the best car ive ever owned. Fyi we have 7 subaru legacy's in our home including an 08 spec B

@@markheefner6527 That's a lot of leggys! 😄

What about now?

I saw that and had to re-watch it.. He was beating the shit out of it!!

SonzillaGTR perpetuating the stereotype outback/forester owner as a hippie or a hoon (liberty/impreza)

hahaha

UGH

Is yours manual? How is it?

@@Texas_Cruiser Yes, it's a manual transmission. It's great... when it runs. 😂

@Steven Tran the engine has been fantastic, I've had to change out all wheel bearings ,CV axle ,brakes, and tires,but its saved me alot on fuel,and its cheaper on the insurance as well so ,I'm happy

@@williamperri3437 I have the 2.5 with 170hp. If you feel attracted to the car design and interior satisfies ur needs (2005 no easy radio install!) and is willing to maintain when the time comes... take the XT. The 2.5 is more than enough, BUT..... It is such a nice car that it deserves more power ;) I paid 4.2k on mine. 102k miles.

I have be the h 6 wish I could put t turbo on it

Subaru fixed that for 2020. 2.4 XT offered on both the Outback and Legacy.i haven’t driven one yet, but my dad has taken an Onyx Edition XT for a test drive. He loved it.

@@curtisstaples6466 but where is the manual transmission? What the hell are they thinking? Driving a performance car is 99% experience and shifting gears is the best part of that experience.

@@homeimprovementsubaruguy2556 Exactly. But us market is to blame on top of emissions :/. Its even worse with their offering here in europe. Here is more of how nieche subaru were and didnt get success they were looking for after investing heavily in late 2000s. We used to get Legacy H6 with 6speed manuals and they made diesel boxer specificly for europe, but they messed up with its reliability early on and sales dropped. Now its just CVT hellscape all around we didnt even get previous base WRX, and STi was only.on sale for 2 years. Crosstrek didnt get 6mt get here even tho first get had 6mt(when usdm model got 5mt). Levorg was CVT only, outbacks and foresters too. BRZ isnt offered...they dont sell a single mt car on the continent where all people know how to drive stick and majority does drive stick...

Or give you false confidence lol. You can still loose control in a Subaru in slippery conditions.

If you loose it in the wet in a Subaru, you either have bald tires or are simply driving way too fast, or both.

I’ll sell you my 2005 Subaru 2.5 XT for $5500

Lol SLOW DOWN DUMMY

@@MrRichallen1984 still for sale?

Robert NES816 finally, nine years later it can. 2020 XT in 6.3 seconds.

@@tpolerex7282 what about oil consumption?

Ga L I’ve been watching closely any reports of engine problems including excess oil consumption on the new 2.4L DIT and I haven’t yet seen anything of consequence. Some failures of the “high torque” CVT transmissions (Ascent models, no Outback models that I am aware of) but even those seem to be some early build runs that have since been corrected/ upgraded to a certain degree.

@Fooligan The White the new Turbo outback right?

@@tpolerex7282 can’t compare it though with no manual option. At least give us a regular automatic gearbox

It's weird to think that this comment was made when I was 7

@@austingreen3893 yep, and I was 17, life was good

lol do you still think that now?

Smells like one too!

Luckily in Australia, our outbacks are made in Japan. So happy we don't get the poorly made American cars :)

I’m not so sure. I have an 07 outback XT and is holding up great. Drive it and you would think it was 2009.

@@procrastinator1842 perhaps, but you did not get the Outback XT because of that.

@@homeimprovementsubaruguy2556 That is true, but we got the dual range models.

"complete bs as mid 1990s interiors still look new on almost all cars on the road today".. "Water is leaking in every single one that I have seen with a sunroof." That's quite a lot of work to survey almost all cars on the road.
