Flickering headlights can be annoying! It might be bad ground connections or a failing alternator. Start by cleaning all the ground points and checking the battery’s voltage.
I’ll check that! My friend had a similar issue, and it turned out to be corrosion. A little rust can cause a lot of trouble!
Replacing the suspension can be a game changer! I did mine recently with aftermarket struts and it improved handling significantly. Just make sure to have an alignment afterwards.
Speaking of corrosion, I once had a nightmare with my Legacy’s fuel lines. Always check under the car for any rust, especially in older models.
Wow, I didn’t think of that. I’ll add that to my checklist. Has anyone replaced their suspension? What should I know?
I would love to replace my suspension too, but I worry about the costs. How much did it set you back, jeffery07?
Around $800 for parts and labor in total. It was worth it though! Definitely consider it if you’re serious about improving performance.
That’s actually not as bad as I thought. Anyone thinking of upgrading their intercooler? Would it make a difference?
Definitely! Upgrading your intercooler can improve performance and reduce heat soak. If you’re planning on more power mods in the future, it’s a solid investment.
Absolutely! There’s nothing wrong with keeping it stock. Just ensure regular maintenance and you’ll be good to go!
Wait a minute, upgrading all these parts sounds expensive! Is it really necessary? Can’t I just keep it stock and be fine?

Reflecting on all the advice here, I’m grateful for this community! Isn’t it fascinating how each experience brings something new? Thanks, everyone!
I’ve had my 4th Gen Legacy GT for over five years now. It’s been incredibly reliable and I’ve only had to do regular maintenance. The turbo gives it a great kick on the highway! Overall, very satisfied.
That’s awesome to hear! I’m considering purchasing one, and your positive experience is encouraging. How’s the comfort level for long drives?
I’ve heard mixed things about the suspension on the 4th Gen models. Some say it’s a bit stiff? Can anyone weigh in on that?

In my experience, the suspension is definitely on the stiffer side, but it offers fantastic handling. I think it really depends on your preference. If you want comfort, you might want to consider upgrading the shocks.

That’s good to know! Seems like that could be a worthwhile investment. What about interior noise levels? Are they pretty quiet on the highway?
Honestly, the cabin noise is pretty good, especially compared to other sedans of the same era. I rarely notice anything unless I’m driving over rough surfaces.
Glad to hear that! I’ve heard the infotainment system is a bit dated. How does that stack up against more modern vehicles?

The infotainment isn’t cutting-edge, but it gets the job done. I usually just connect my phone for music, so it’s not a dealbreaker for me.
