The 2000 Legacy lineup consists of three sedan and three station wagon models. (Although it is still based on the Legacy, the Outback is now being sold as a separate model line.)Legacy sedan models include the: $19,195 L, $22,795 GT and $24,295 GT Limited. Legacy wagons: $18,395 Brighton, $19,895 L and $23,695 GT. (You'll need to add the $495 destination charge to those prices.) There is little difference in the specifications of these models. All are powered by Subaru's 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine, which produces 165 horsepower. (The 2.2-liter engine is no longer available with the new Legacy models.) A five-speed manual transmission is standard; a four-speed electronically controlled automatic is optional for $800. Legacy L models are well-equipped, with anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and locks, and AM/FM/cassette. GT models add a sport-tuned suspension, bigger wheels and tires, slightly different gear ratios, a limited-slip rear differential, sporty cloth and other trim. GT Limited models get side-impact airbags, leather upholstery and a CD player. We drove the Legacy GT Limited.
