  This is one fantastic car that you won't regret getting. Powerful 245hp turbocharged engine, AWD, 8 air-bags, electric sunroof, Mclintosh sound system with 13 speakers, 5 speed auto box with triptronic, electric 8 ways seat, climate control, 17" sport rims with Brigestone high performance tires (same for the spare), rigid chassis, superb stability, Japan leather seats, twin exhaust, momo steering wheel with electronic gear shift buttons, stunning interior, sleek outlook....etc... what else would you'll ask for? IMO can't get anything better in the same price range. A true sleeper indeed. Test drive one confirm you'll get hooked.

  The ATR, while being 24 kg heavier, develops a whole 53Nm more of useful torque, at a very low, accessable RPM of 2500rpm, compared to the Legacy, whose max torque comes out at 4200rpm. which means to get the 290Nm of torque, u'd have to rev to 4200rpm, a whole extra 1700rpms more, to get a max torque lower than that of the ATR. Power wise, there is almost no difference between the 2, with the ATR being a slight 5 horses down on the Legacy. But unfortunately for the legacy, that max power will have to come 1100rpms later than the ATR's peak power output of 5500rpm.
  
  Of interest, is this article about the ATR.

  weird huh? subaru decides to put the wrong information on their website? hard to believe

  Heng, your info is correct but you listed the wrong model. Singapore LegacyGT 2.0 has been detuned. Visit Japanese Subaru web for JDM spec:

  dear viewers. Here is the site which I got the information about the Legacy from. Stats don't lie, at least I don't think stats from Suabru's official site do.
  
  Do note the heading of the site. This IS the official Subaru webby. That makes it more official than anything from Motorimage, who are merely importers of the brand.
  
  
  
  
  
  Of course I have my own opinions. What I can do is to present evidence I have come across, much like a reporter. It is, for u all to form your own opinions from what u read.

  Bro, bro... u seem so insecure about that car.... do notice, i din say the ATR was faster or the Legacy was faster. I said it was THE turbonutter car for grownups till the ATR came n rained on its parade. Wonder why start a "who's faster, who's slower" type of war here?
  u would assume it was intended as a slight on the car if u had any doubts or insecurities about it in e 1st place? Did i say, with the ATR, Legacy is no longer to be reckoned with? no i said the ATR rained on its parade. So now it may not be THE turbonutter car for grownups. It may have a competitor. So? dun need to get all defensive wad... And yeah i think highly of my ride. Who would think lowly of their ride? If i thot lowly of it, dun think I would have gotten it right?

  its all in jap. and theres a confusing line where the weight of the 2.0GT is listed as 1700+kg
  
  they're selling a 2.0GT for 134k right? so thats 20k for something thats roughly on par with the ATR.
