Can't you add heated seats from Katzkins or something (if you want it integrated that is). I know a few have added heated seats to the Prius.

I thought the GTs have a turbo.. at least in Canada. I know cause my friend wanted a GT but his mum wouldn't let him (well it's the family car) so they got the 2.5i instead.

Ive been meaning to go the junk yard and find a new legacy with heated seats, because the springs in my driver seat are pretty worn out. The wiring is there.

Subaru dropped the turbo when the 2nd gen. Legacy debuted. They came out with a more fuel efficient alternative in 1996, the 2.5L, which was worthy competition for the Accord, Camry and Taurus V6s at the time (partly because the Legacy was lighter). The 2.5L is now in every U.S. Subaru except the Tribeca and in turbocharged form it propels the Legacy Spec. B to 60 MPH in 5.2 seconds.

The 250 or so hp on the Tribeca didn't feel like it when I test drove one of the first few Tribecas. It felt rather lethargic.

Those cars do nothing for me, but I did have a Mcintosh head unit removed from a JDM Legacy. VEERYY nice sound, especially if yours comes with the complete mcintosh system.

Also, the H6s are expensive in Canada. I don't know about the latest 2008 Legacy but it used to be the only way to get stability control was to plop down > $40k (that's IS/G35 money) for the Legacy 3.0.. then buy the Legacy 3.0 VDC model.

You heard right. I figured it's better in a Legacy since it'll be lighter and hopefully a different transmission.

Expect the 3.6L (a more powerful version of it) in the Legacy in 2010 (the redesign). Supposedly its going to be direct injected. Subaru really got shot down with the new fuel economy ratings.

Also Toyota of BC has a price fix policy (think Saturn or Scion.. except that it's not endorsed by Toyota Canada). It's sad no one's doing anything (or can't do anything?) about the collusion.
