Great Car. But some issues.

My wife and I have owned this Scoobie for 4 years next month. While we love the car and truly love Subarus this car has had some annoying issues that the dealers can't seem to fix. Our car has been in three times for an annoying rattle in the dash. It apparently disappears when the service techs look at it (rolling eyes). The front brakes squeal when the ambient temperature is above 60 outside. I've replaced everything and they still squeak. Oh, the clutch went out at 38000. My wife and I know how to drive stick well and do not abuse the car. But this one let go at a very young age. Kudos to Subaru though for not stiffing us with the whole $1100 bill.

Never had any problems with this car even with driving it across the country a few times. This being my second Subaru and its performance in the snow and winter conditions is everything I've expected.

My first Subaru was a 1995 Impreza coupe which I loved dearly. For practicality I had to get the Legacy so hubby would be a bit more comfortable. I have had the Legacy one week and have not quite warmed up to it. Time will tell if it's reliable. I can say that Subaru in general makes a good car. I live in snow country and can attest to the AWD; I couldn't picture driving anything else.

Best all around car in its price range and for the next 2 or 3 tiers. Awesome looks, killer performance, and most of a civilized demeaner. THis car has it all, bmw and audi should be quaking in their loafers. If they dont do something to counter this car they will be in a world of hurt. I am amazed every time i step into the car, the build quality and styling is simply perfect, not to flashy but in no way bland. I love the guages as well as the sound of the motor under full throttle. This car is as close to perfection as you can come for under 80g.

This car is very sweet. Very fast, well composed, an excellent balance between rougher track handling and a typical sedan. It doesn't have the badge of the status models, but it still makes you feel good everything you step in. Interior is top notch and well laid out. Good materials and build quality. Exterior is very classy and looks like it'll be a timeless design. Few people notice, but those in the know all turn their heads - this is a serious sleeper car.
