This is my first Subaru and all I can say is "WOW"! Since my vehicle was purchased in September I have grown to love it more. It handles excellent in the Northwest rain and snow. It has a peppy 165 HP motor, not bad for a 4 cylinder! I would highly recommend getting the auto-dimming/compass mirror. I bought one after the fact, installed it myself (piece of cake) and no more rearview mirror glare from trucks.

I'm the type of person who loves driving, and this is a pretty fun and good vehicle. It handles pretty well, it's actually kind of zippy and fun to drive, it's obviously good in snow since being as Subaru and it gets pretty good gas mileage considering it's AWD. It's also pretty reliable. About 169,000 miles and still running great. I have taken it off-roading (I off road it gently since it's a sedan) It's a 2001 so not bad. I'm giving it a four star however because like anything else, it has cons. One of them is that when driving on the highway there's some loud wind noise. I've gotten used to it, and I always drive with my windows down except on the highway, raining/snowing and when it's it's cold. Don't think this is normal since it's pretty loud but planning to get it checked out soon. The other is my AC suddenly started squeaking. I fixed the AC since when I bought it turns out it wasn't working. Heat always worked great but I don't want to drive with that noise. The other thing is every time I put the car to reverse, the transmission does a little click. This I'm a little worried about, since I fear the transmission might be getting bad, and I'm gonna have that checked out out asap. Other than that though, it's a pretty good, handsome little sedan. I modified it a little as well, and will continue to do that. I'm single to so I can do whatever I want.

While I've only had the Legacy for a short time (will review in another year after another 20k miles) it is one of the best cars for the money. I bought mine used for a very fair price. I compared the Legacy with the Accord, Camry and Altima and found that price alone was one of the best features. Performance in the Legacy surpased all the above cars. Interior and exterior design are simple but very appealing. Solid value.
