2005 Subaru Legacy Gt 5spd Manual 2.5l Turbo Blue on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
for sale is my 2005 atlantic blue pearl Subaru Legacy GT Limited all wheel drive 5 speed manual 2.5L turbo with 167k miles on it. It's currently being used as a daily commuter but it could use some work. It has been a great commuter car for me for the past 40 thousand miles that I have had it. This car is great in the snow. It has a clear title with no red flags on the carfax history(I looked at the carfax when I bought the car). I have decided to get a car with an automatic. The clutch was replaced by the previous owner right before I bought the car. The clutch that the previous owner put in was a performance clutch and is fairly stiff. It is to stiff for my liking but it didn't bother me to much because I was commuting on the highway a lot and didn't use the clutch much. The previous owner claimed to have replaced the turbo at 100k miles with a more reliable 16g cartrige but didn't have a receipt and I have no way to tell if it was actually done by looking at it. The exterior of the car, body and paint is in really good shape. The interior is in great shape too.
Maintenance and new parts: I had 4 new tires installed last fall, 9/2013, and they still look fairly new. 4 new break rotors with new pads installed 9/2012 @ 143k miles, along with break fluid change. Timing belt & water pump service 6/2012 @ 136.9k miles along with an accessory belt replacement and all new coolant. The A/C compressor was replaced in may 2012. Only full synthetic oil used along with high quality oil filters used. Imperfections: There is one good scratch on the front left bumper. The windshield has a really long crack in it. It has the power heated seat option but the heat on the drivers seat doesn't work and i'm not sure the passenger side does. The plastic power seat adjustment control for the passenger side was broke off, the seat can still be adjusted. It runs very rough when it is cold and will stall when engine is cold especially when it is cold outside. When it warms up it run good and strong. It doesn't have any check engine lights on and it passed emissions when I renewed my registration last year. There is a rattling sound like something is loose when you are coasting, let your foot off the gas. The right rear power window doesn't work. I have a replacement window motor for it, I never use the rear windows so I haven't bothered to pay to have it put in. None of these items stop the car form being used and I have been using it as a daily commuter car for a while. I routinely put several hundred miles a week on this car and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. It has the following features/options/parts: - Power sunroof - Power windows - Power door locks with keyless entry - Power heated side mirrors - Heated wiper option - Compass - Outside temperature, miles per gallon, clock & trip time indicator - In dash 6cd changer, am/fm radio, & i-pod connector aux (non oem that plays through the cd option) - Power heated seats(non working) - Leather interior - Cruse control - Antilock breaks - HID - Clear bra - Spare tire, jack & tow hook - Subaru rubber floor mats This car has been very reliable and I'll be happy to deliver the car within 150 miles of northern colorado, may be willing to go further. Otherwise pickup is the responsibility of the winning bidder. All sales are final Full payment required withing 3 days of auction closing unless otherwise arranged. |

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating
Wed, May 18 2022It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score. SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category. Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested. The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

WRX Concept styling may transfer to production Impreza, next WRX
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Remember the original concept that previewed the latest generation Subaru WRX? If not, then just look above for a gallery of photos following its debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show. We loved it, and thus, were sort of disappointed when we first saw the less-aggressive production model.
It's not that the production 2015 WRX is ugly, per se. It just doesn't have the gaping grille, four-door coupe lines or squinting headlights that give the concept so much verve. But as it turns out, Subaru might have realized that it was on the right track with the more assertive styling. Rumors coming out of Australia suggest that the shape could form the basis for the next-generation Impreza, and next WRX, along with a major platform shift.
Subaru chief designer Mamoru Ishii tells Motoring that that the next-generation car will ditch the rather utilitarian current design in favor of something more exciting. Like the WRX concept, the design will start wide at the bottom for an aggressive stance and taper up to the roof. That styling would likely get even more aggressive for the next 'Rex.
Don't expect an all-new Subaru WRX until 2020
Wed, Dec 28 2016Despite Subaru completely overhauling the Impreza for 2017, it appears the WRX will stick around on its current platform for another few years. That's the word from Motoring in Australia, who spoke with an senior engineer from Subaru about a WRX replacement. For those that can't wait, the good news is that a WRX refresh is coming for 2018, which should carry the car for another few years. It should be no surprise that a full WRX redesign is a few years off. Although the fourth generation Impreza was released in 2011, the current WRX has only been on sale since the 2015 model year. Given an average five-year cycle, we can most likely expect a redesign for 2020. It's not clear how extensive the refresh will be or if the STI will finally drop the ancient EJ-series 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four engine for the more modern FA-series 2.0-liter turbocharged flat four engine found in the regular WRX. Rumors have been swirling for years of what else a full-redesign may encompass. The current model was rumored to have an electric turbocharger that obviously never appeared. There have been other rumors of a switch to a hybrid powertrain. While that may work when the WRX finally uses the updated Impreza platform, don't expect to see hybrid power in the refreshed model. Subaru says the time it would take to engineer such a system would be too great to have it available for 2018. The new Impreza's platform is designed to fit a hybrid system, so don't rule out the possibility of a WRX hybrid.
