One of my uncle drive it, heard FC is rather high, ard 8-10 L/km but then again will depend on ur driving patterns.

3 way drive u mean the gear box thingy near gear knob? it's a knob let u choose 3 type of drive mode.

1. i- mode=fully auto and economy.

2. sport mode=longer engine rev between gear change to make ur car 'pick up' better but drink more fuel too.

3. Manual mode(tiptronic)= using + and - to shift the gear by ur own. but the system will lower dn the gear when u slow dn or go to stop. better speed control but consume more fuel too.

I have driven a 2004 Legacy 2.0L with about 97K of milleage clocked for close to 2 weeks.

Constantly getting about 12-12.5km/L with RON95 petrol, with 2 tanks consistent top-up.

 

I almost can't believe it at 1st,but it's true after driving it yourself.

All those myths about legacy are drinkers are not true,only valid to those Legacy GT.

 

Verdict: Very nice car to drive, handling is better compared to Mazda6, Camry etc.

must be 8-10km/L, if not, think got fuel leak somewhere...

[Mr_biscuit]

Yup, 2.0R is the NA version (1 exhaust mufflers at each sides).

2.0I is also NA version, but with only 1 exhaust muffler.

bro, i believe to have such consumption 12-12.5km/l, it has to do with some tuning, etc..

don't think stock can achieve such figures...

This is a coutesy car for me when my own car is sent for accident repairs.

White stock Legacy with stock 16" wheels.

 

At 1st I also can't believe my own eyes,but it's re-confirmed after 2 full tanks of Esso RON95 petrol.

I'm always a big fan of Subaru Legacy too, end of the day, I gained nothing out of it if I reported a fake FC.

Im driving the R, on 18" rims,and im getting about 11 km/l. 75% highway driving. But once I use the sports mode and drive hard, it goes to about 9km/l

Wow, 18" on a Legacy is the way to go..

The FC is considered reasonably well for a ride like this on 18" wheels; Even in normal mode, the Legacy 2.0I I drove is incredibly smmoth on acceleration and despite its 4-speeder, the ratios are well matched..

 

Overall, this is 1 of the best 2L Jap car I loved based on it's styling, handling and driving position; It's an under-rated car in the local car community..

My friend is driving one 2006 model. Accoridng to him when was with original 16" rim, can go about 10~11km/l. After changing to 17" can only get about 9+ km/l.

 

Sometimes I will drive his car also. I think the handling for this car is very good.

 

[Genesiz]

I agree that even though its a 4 speed, its gears are well ratioed. Was comparing this with JDM accord and a 2nd hand Mark X.

 

No regrets for this buy except for the maintenance costs... ($700 for fuel filter compared to $60 for normal cars, spark plug changes costs $20 more for labour as its boxer layout)...

yeah the lower the gears....more fuel its will consume....but the lower the gears...the faster yr vehicle will move...

 

best is still i-mode....

 

unless if u wanna drag race....sport mode is better.....
