l wanna get one soon. Are they comfortable? Are they truly fast? Is it worth 28,000?
Are they smooth?

l own a 98 us spec BD5 Legacy and have driven every generation. In Japan they offer an STi package now. Extremly fast and smooth cars, the new turbo model is well worth the asking price. Make sure you test drive an Wrx while you're there.

l drove a Legacy GT in my search for the 6-cylinder Outback l ended up with. The car - identical inside to my Outback - is very comfortable. With a heated 8-way power seat (with adjustable lumbar support) & a tilt-wheel, it is hard not to fit the car to ur preference. A telescoping wheel would be nice, though.

I'd say it is fast, but some might not. Zero-to-60 is about 7 seconds. You might do better with power braking, getting the revs up to about 3,000 before u go. You r in the turbo range by then. It will not ''blaze'' off the line, otherwise. Once u hit 2,800-3,000, though, it will pull quite steadily up to 6,000 rpm. You can go from 40-to-70 (passing) like nobody is business. Take a test drive with a friendly salesman who will let u check this out for yourself.

Is it worth the money? It would be worth MY money. It is a sleeper car. It fades into the crowd so it does not draw attention with its looks, but it will pull away from the crowd any time u want to. I've driven my Outback (the '06 one) on a 400 mile trip & experienced no fatigue at all.

If u want a killer car, of course, look at the Legacy GT Spec. B. Zero-to-60 is about 6 seconds.

Additional: The car l drove was very smooth, but it only had about 20 miles on the odometer, too. My 6-cyl. Outback is smooth as butter, but not (ultimately) as fast as the turbo. It is quicker off the line, but then the turbo would easily beat me to 60.

It is a bit small compared to other competitors and they are pretty fast, 0-60 in about 8 seconds. l think it is worth 28,000, depending on how many options the car has.

Yes to all your questions. l drive a Legacy.

A great car with a good safety rating. The turbo is better with the manual tranny. The interior is well appointed and comfortable-car is very quick and does not get loose. If any car is worth the price this one is. Enjoy!

Absolutely, the Manual transmission car will do 0 to 60 in under 6 secs, many car magazines have tested it at between 5.3/5.7.
