Techie Review of the Legacy 2.5GT: SI-Drive

Post by WRXWagon2112 »

To be found here.

Here's the Cliff Notes:
TechnoRide.com wrote:Bottom Line
The 2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited has a cockpit controller, SI-Drive, which lets you add economy, performance, and even more performance. This could be the perfect car for people who found the Impreza WRX too small and boy-racerish.
Pros
A cockpit control knob that adjusts for economy versus performance; powerful turbocharged engine with variable valve timing; SRS surround sound audio. Standard all-wheel drive.
Cons
None that are major. The price pushes into low-end BMW territory. Pleasant but unmemorable styling. No Bluetooth.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

That thing looks really cool! Too bad it's only going to be in the Limited Edition.

Too bad suspension settings don't change with that SI-Drive. That would be trick!

I can't say the thought has not occured to me. Since they have dual pipe's, adding a 4" DP to dual 3" cat back's has been on my mind...

You guys are just evil. I was thinking my next or second ride will be a 400hp-500hp GT that looks just like this:

The only trouble w/ SI drive is taking the time to have a tuning solution work around but if you could change it w/ a display like that using the COBB AP, that would be SWEET!!!!!!!!!1
