Overall very happy with AWD performance. No reliability problems, did have spark plug wire come loose twice and gas guage is not very accurate, but otherwise pleased. Performance could be better but HEY this IS a wagon and I didn't expect WRX performance. Would definitely buy again.

i bought this car because my previous subaru was struck by a deer. this car has been completely reliable. i have put over 80,000 miles on it and besides regular normal maintence....i had to replace the water pump and the cam sensor. my '86 subaru had 286,000 miles on it before the deer took it out and this car still has good power and should be around to munch up more miles. my mother in law has a subaru that had almost 300 thousand miles on it(1983) and just bought another as well. get the regular scheduled maintence done along with changing the oil every 3,000 miles....you won't be dissapointed.

Subaru Legacy LS sedan with AWD - the best car I ever owned! It went almost everywhere my Jeep can go, and it rarely had any mechanical problems. When it did, it was very inexpensive and very easy to fix. My job requires a lot of driving and the Subaru did it all ... through the snow, the rain, all day and all night! I stayed on the road and watched everybody else go in the ditch. I even got rear-ended by a car-hauler 3 days ago. With over 175,000 miles on it now, the Subaru may have seen its final day, but I walked away from the accident, and my next car will probably be another Subaru.
Very dependable

I am at 186,000 miles and have experienced very few problems. Automatic door lock malfunctions have recurred a number of times however. Also, don't let your drink drip or sweat too much or it messes up the neutral-start switch (under the shift console). Have replaced an oxygen sensor and speed sensor; TPS probably next.
A Wonderful Car

Our Subaru Legacy Sedan has nearly 110,000 miles on it, and the only negative thing that we have to say about it is that it doesn't feel peppy. Other than that, it has been an excellent car... reliable and comfortable.
