Review
First few years of ownership the car performed as desired. However in the third year of ownership road noise became louder. Car has started to rust in the rear door jams at the seams. The rear quarter panel has developed large rust areas. These days I would expect a car to last more than 5 years before rusting out.

I picked up this car with 30k miles in great shape and right away started having problems with window seals, moon roof seal, O2 sensors, head lights, check engine light, heat shield, clutch, electrical bugs, you name it, I've fixed it, until finally with 70k miles on the odometer, the engine jumped time and bent all the valves costing me $3500. No aftermarket support either, because no one wants anything to do with this lemon. I can't say that I blame them. I can't wait to be rid of this heap.

My car has been very reliable, and the service records (I bought used) show no problems. Acceleration very good for a normally-aspirated H-4 engine and a 3400 lb car. Drove the H-6, but honestly did not think its acceleration and torque were that much better. AWD excellent, handling very good, and no problems with brakes. Interior is nice, but I have leather. Tune-ups are fairly easy. Re: other reviews: V6? Don't expect in Subarus because they use boxer engines. Upgrade interior? A $25K car will never have the tactile feel of a $40K car. There is some wind noise, seats could have more adjustment, but, again, IT'S A $25k CAR. As a package, hard to knock. Most auto reviewers like the Legacy GT.

We are long distance drivers (40,000+ miles
per year) and demand a lot from our
vehicles. The Subaru Legacy GT LTD has
offers a nice ride, but suffers from reliability
problems. We had a re-occurring brake
problem with freezing rear calipers (frozen
open, that is). We replaced the wiring
harness and spark plugs at 50,000 miles
due to shorting in the coil. The catalytic
converter needs replacement at 90,000
miles. We also had to have the trim around
the driver side window re-glued. National
Subaru customer reps are not helpful and
rude. Next time we buy a Honda.

Less than 26000 miles and have had
major brake job (all 4 wheels), new
clutch, repeated problems with wind
noise and 'check engine' light coming
on. Basically a big dissapointment
compared to the many Subaru's I've
owned in the past.

Seems to be issues with the front
brakes, and the windows in front doors
leak air. (BAD) Dealer doesn't seem to
be able to correct this.

This car is exactly what I had hoped it
would be. It is primarily a practical
car with enough flair to make it fun and
pleasurable to own and drive. The GT
version handles well enough to have some
sporting fun while the all-wheel drive
allows you to drive relatively
aggressively in the snow and ice. It is
essentially a 12 month, 4-season GT car.

Bought in November. Seems like a solid
car. To early to tell about
reliability. Live in the northeast.
Have had three storms since buying the
car.Great in the snow.
