Used 1996 Subaru Legacy Wagon Consumer Reviews
Very good car
A very reliable , comfortable and well- equipped car. Only one major servicing in 7 years- and that includes this past terrible winter. Not garaged, but started first try every day. Enough power for major highways and comfortable in any conditions. New car will be same make and model.
1996 Outback Wagon
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.
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.
Legacy of Subaru
Our Subaru is reliable & sturdy. Excellent car in cold wether or heat. Very durable and stable, excellent road handling & pick up. Ours has heated mirrors & seats. Fold down seats & rear cover. We like the interior layout. Seating seems stiff after long drives.
Happy Subaru owner
Our Outback Wagon has served us over 6 years with no major problem. Now with over 70,000 miles on the odo, we are ready to trade ours in for a new Outback. Subaru makes great practical and reliable vehicles. Now with the WRX, Subaru's are even fun to drive.
