I'm not big into cars, but my Subaru gives me great gas mileage, its very comfortable, and very safe. Its fun to take the all wheel drive and go flying around sand dunes or off road too.

I just bought my 95 Subaru Legacy Sedan with 86000 miles on it because I know Subaru's great reputation. There are only a few things wrong with it: gas gauge broken, dome light out, and it needs a few regular maintenence things done, like an oil change and transmission fluid change. But it is a great car in great condition, and I am looking forward to many years with it. My family's last Subaru had almost 200000 on it before we traded it in, and it was still running.

I've driven it for 75000 miles over the last seven years with comfort and confidence. We've taken two circular tours of the US and Canada, often hauling a full load of camping equip. What snow or heavy rains we've met we've driven through and over without pause. I hate to think of selling it but the rumors about the 2005 Legacy are tempting.

This is an awesome car. Confidence driving in any weather. Incredibly reliable.... point and go in any weather. I've had this car for almost 9 years and can't tell you how many times accidents were avoided because my car would hold the road and maneuver when others could not. If you take care of this car, change the oil regularly and mind the maintenance, it'll reward you well for many-many years and miles. All members of my family own at least one Subaru (no dealers, just happy customers). There aren't many products on the market (even beyond cars) that I can speak as confidently about than with Subaru.
Good Little Car

Bought at 98k miles, sold at 125k. This car had an oil leak when I bought it, a pretty impressive one where the fumes made me nauseous. After I got that fixed (oil pump resealed), and put on new struts and windshield, it was a good little car. In typical Subaru fashion, I could take it anywhere, do anything in winter. It would go through snow up past the bumper like a little submarine, and cling to the road like a booger. This was the only car I've had that, on a blizzardy day, traffic would be going nowhere near fast enough for me, and I'd be that guy over in the snowy lane, driving the speed limit on two or three inches of powder. The reason I sold this car was it seemed like it was developing some weird AWD issues. On turning the wheel to the max, it experienced that AWD hesitation/shimmy, but also occasionally it would do this ultra-weird pronounced lurching. No idea what that was, let the next guy figure it out (yes, I told him).

for those looking for a decent, affordable vehicle with room for the family and luggage, the awd wagon is a good fit. The 5-speed awd L wagon gets decent mileage (I average 27 mpg), and has been inexpensive to maintain
LOVED my 95 L Wagon!

I was the second owner of my Subie, purchased at 156k, and I just sold it to a friend with 208k on it. It's an oldie, but still a goodie. This is one of the most reliable transmissions Subaru ever made. I've had performance people stop me and tell me I have one of the best models, and have had others offer to by my wagon at the grocery store! Still a popular car that I have seen sell higher than it's value because people know how good they are. Despite modest specs, this car accelerates faster than you'd expect and has been great for urban driving. This car is RELIABLE and will run even with the worst of leaks. Non interference engine unlike later Subies and most Japanese cars of this era - aka if the timing belt snaps, it won't destroy your engine. I drove on a blown crank seal unknowingly for 1k miles, and it didn't break down on me or ruin the engine/transmission. That was in the middle of a 4K mile road trip, and it ran great the rest of the trip and beyond. I delayed my scheduled timing belt job (where they would have checked/replaced the seal) and took it on a trip (stupid, my mistake not the car). This car is very forgiving to abuse, more so than it's automatic counterpart. Subarus are prone to leaky gaskets and axles wearing quicker than other cars. Small price to pay for the reliability, upkeep parts and maintenance are affordable. I fully expect this car to run another 200k if properly maintained. Change all fluids and complete maintenance on time, and this car will last FOREVER. I got great mileage too, higher than I was supposed to likely because I'm easy on my clutch. I pulled 25 city and around 30 highway - the last year Subie made front-wheel drive, and it's a good one. I only sold my car because I needed to upgrade for my job - otherwise I would have driven this car forever! For an oldie, it has cruise control, power mirrors and doors, stock speakers could be a lot worse, and although the door seals aren't great I feel WAY less of the road than some of the 15 year newer cars I test drove to replace it. If seeking a great cheap older manual transmission car I can't recommend this model enough. On par with the Accord or Camry, and a bit more fun to drive (in my opinion). Incredibly space efficient for its size. I've moved furniture in it with the backseat down. Best for city driving vs long commutes, there are better cars out there mileage-wise. I've never put money into this car beyond routine maintenance and odd interior things that fall apart with age (it IS a 20 year old car). My only complaint is that the cup-holder is poorly placed right by the front vents, easy to spill in there - and they only hold a pop can or smaller, hard to find coffee cups that fit. For it's age and year, it's a great car that will live forever! If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with a 95 L Wagon if it's been reasonably well-maintained.

1995 Subaru Legacy Outback 4dr Wagon AWD
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
This has to be the best car ever made. Despite harsh Michigan winters it is 21 years and still running great! The engine is still very quiet & runs like it did 15 years ago. This car handles like a sports car! Snow performance is the best. (I also have a 2012 Outback & this 95 is much better in snow & the 2012 handles like a marshmallow in comparison.) I have backed this car out of the driveway after a huge snow fall while my neighbor sat and spun in his pick up truck. The car must be perfectly weighted for going through the snow. This body style also had a ton of cargo room! It has more cargo area with the rear seat up then the 2012 does. With the split seat I have been able to have a passenger in the back seat plus my 80 pound dog in a large dog crate. I am having suspension problems now & exhaust problems. But hey after 21 years that is to be expected. Since I can't do the work myself it would likely be expensive to get it done. I will just keep driving it and see how long it will last. If you can find one of these cars, or a car with this engine - buy it!! Note to Subaru! Please do not angle off the back end of the Impreza & Outback, it really cuts into the cargo room. This body style is just right! Not too big but still amazingly holds a ton of stuff. Also, lower the outback and make a true wagon, because that is what this 95 is. Bring back this car!

I bought this car from a family in December 2022 with 164k and it needed a lot of work due to differed maintenance. Once I got all of that done, I have been able to drive him from Ohio to Virginia and back multiple times, to Michigan, to Maryland from Ohio multiple times, several day trips to Canton and Columbus, Ohio and all the way to Champagne, IL. I trust this car to drive me anywhere, he gets great gas mileage (about 28 on the highway), and is very easy to work on. The AWD system is excellent in Ohio winters and many parts are interchangeable with the 2002-2007 WRX and other Subarus of the early 2000s. I am at 184k right now and plan on keeping him on the road as long as I can!

I bought this car for 2400 bucks and about 3 years later it is still chugging. I have had to install some things. I have to change the O2 sensor and speed sensor. I also had one CV joint replaced. All in all a good car and this is the second Legacy I have owned. I couldn't complain b/c I got my money's worth.
