If you can get by with looking at the ugly hood scoop then go for it.


EDIT! BECAUSE IM A DUMBASS!


Looks like there is no hood scoop and it has the same clean lines as a mazda 6.

Um... actually the Legacy GT does have a "scoop", although its more of a vent. The Mazdaspeed 6 has a pretty big bulge on its hood though.

yes and no. my 328i is 6 years old with 104K on it. the past few months i've been spending money here and there to change parts out and still the car feels worn out. i just want a newer car that feels tight and precise, instead of sloppy and worn. and given that this is a commuter car, i really don't care to spend more than $30K. the mazdaspeed6 was only a thought. i most likely won't get it, unless i really like the way it drives.

I'd stick w/ what you have given what you're looking at.

The new Subaru Legacy GT Spec B will be out very soon but since there will only be 500 of them made they may be very hard to find.

Legacy GT no doubt! $2,000 in mods and you have a very low 13-second/12-second luxurious daily commuter!

Are those GOLD OZ Superleggeras? I didn't know there was such a thing. Looks good on red.
