imho the back end of both the cars isnt the greatest, although the front end of the legnum is :banana:, although generally speaking i rekon gallants are feral

Aren't the front end of the Galant and Legnum exactly the same?? :)

how did i know Mitchy would be all over this thread lol, the legnum bandwagon leader :P i like em myself, front is awesome, rear of stagea is wayyyy better lookin though. The leggy is ALOT smaller than a stagea, the leggy reminds me of a wrx wagon size, not really a full size wagon, closer to a hatchback size almost.

Going from what ive seen with mitsubishi engines (evo, gto, etc) they are the most underrated strength engines in any imports. i know the gto guys with the 6g72 reckon a safe limit for stock engine is 650awhp lol. The legnum is a similiar engine setup by the looks of it so i could see it making some decent power without dramas (obviously not that much but as good as rb25 if not better).

Coolie wrote a song For the twin turbo Legacy GT...

"as I walk through the valley of Valley of Death

I take a look at my boost gauge and realize there's nothin there

coz I've been cursing and swearing so long, that

even my mama thinks that my second turbo is gone

but I ain't never crossed an owner that didn't experience it

me be seeing laaaaaag you know that's not unheard of

you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking

Cause the second turbo's about to kick in y0

I really hate to wait but i gotta though

As the revs rise I see the exhaust smoke

I'm the kinda GT the little rexies wanna be like

Foot to the floor in the night, saying prayers for response

been spending most their lives, living in the GT's VOD"

Legnums are faster stock and with mild mods than stageas. They are lighter and handle better. They are also extremely common in NZ and go for 5-15k.

Heck a manual Caldina GTT will dick most to all stageas.

i'd have to agree with chuckie... the stagea is far better for reliability. I thrashed my car at times, taken her down the drags too and not once did I do my gear box, unlike Mitchy who had only had the legnum a short while and managed to kill it...

So I wouldn't touch the leggy's... stick with nissan.

i guess its just personal preference...if ur just gonna drive it as a daily i guess any option wouldn't matter..but in stock form legnums would be better...i'm more of a mitsubishi person when coming to wagon/sedan 4wds anyway..

in saying that don't bring any liberty gt's/b4's into the equation...hate subaru lolz...even though they do make good cars..damn i'm biased

In terms of daily use, how do these stack up to Stageas and Caldina GTT? And in terms of your general service? Recently in HPI magazine, they stated that changing minor things for legnum, spark plugs was a really prob, as you had to remove alot of the cross over plumbing. One more thing, are these legnums more thirsty than the other 2 compititors, Caldina and Stagea? I know Mits has a thing for making thirsty cars, like EVO series.

Both the Stagea and Legnum are very thirsty. The caldina is lighter and more fuel efficient.

Caldina has a ratshit interior

Stageas are reasonably easy to service. Id imagine a caldina isnt too bad either. Legnum can be tedious with things like sparkies and cambelts. Same goes with any transverse V6

Speed wise would be something like Fastest = Legnum > Caldina > Stagea turbo 4wd.
