knock on wood, but my 07 legacy has gave me 0 problems. Awesome DD, glad I considered subaru!

kcnizm0 · 10-26-2009, 08:27 AM

^ same havnt had one prob with my 05 legacy yet. its put together very well. and arnt the prices of the legacy similar to the outbacks lol?? the cobalt should be number one. i work on these things and they are just cheap. dont get me wrong they are good cars but not for the money... the cobalt SS's are nice though. seats and fabric are muchh better in those. dash and panals are still hard ass plastic though.

Elliott18t · 10-26-2009, 09:30 AM

i would consider all the cars on that list overpriced, EXCEPT the legacy. the Legacy is a very nice car IMO, and from what ive heard definately worth it.

captainhook · 10-26-2009, 12:57 PM

Consider yourselves fortunate . . . over 30 warranty claims in the first 15 months of ownership here.

Elliott18t · 10-26-2009, 01:00 PM

overpriced right here :P

BigWhiteTodd · 10-26-2009, 01:40 PM

cobalt not to bad my mom has a 08 she got for 12k eats tires for some reason.

I test drove a Bimmer 335i just for fun. And it was sick, but then the salesman said it was 51k brand new. and I mean, its nice and fast and flashy and whatnot, but over 50k???? really???? deff wouldnt spend more than 35 for one.

What are these $20,000 extra that people are dropping in the first 5 years?!

Xavier · 10-26-2009, 07:13 PM

Veyron isn't on the list? Haha.

bl@ckvr4 · 10-27-2009, 09:33 AM

When I read that list on the Yahoo homepage, I was amazed that the Toyota Supra wasn't on there.
It definitely needs to be.

cost of ownership, gas, oil, etc

jpalamar · 10-27-2009, 10:37 AM

I would like to see how these cars compare to more. I bet they are only a few bucks more. All new cars cost a crap ton to own with insurance, payments, gas, maintaince, ect...

you wouldnt spend more than 35 grand for a 335i but you would buy an sti for 30+?
i think this car is almost as good as the E46 M3, definitely worth atleast 50 grand loaded. but of course you wouldnt spend money on a car, maybe your parents might buy you it.

I'll easily one up you. Double the price of that already over priced civic. Still only has 230 hp to the crank and less then 200 ft lbs of tq.

For the Price I'll take a Z06 please with double the power and a track beast.

There are a lot of exotics that build the "end all" type car. They pretty much always lose money on each one sold.

superg6819 · 11-04-2009, 03:34 PM
