247 lb-ft of torque, moving the Legacy 3.6R models with
effortless confidence over the road. This commanding engine is
matched with the ease of a 5-speed automatic transmission with
manual mode and paddle shifters, which allow you to easily
control shifting for more direct access to engine power.
Turbocharged 2.5GT

high performance can provide, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in the

turbocharger optimized for quick spooling. When you engage,

standard 6-speed manual transmission with performance-
oriented gearing keeps you always in control of the action.
