2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 5M)

This replaced our 1995 Legacy 4WD LS wagon, which still looks good but recently had to have its transmission rebuilt, and axles and driveshaft replaced. The new i LTD wagon is gorgeous and a great value. The engine is the new 175 hp model - a big improvement over the old one, and over the 168 hp 2005, which had seemed slower than the 1995 model. You can feel the power and supercharger is not missed. It handles exceptionally well and has outstanding visibility. The Gold Award from the IIHS sealed the deal - the 2005 had done poorly in the crash test. The ride is a great improvement - taut and responsive. The automatic shifter is weird and awkward but versatile. No manual option on the LTD.
Comfortable, Economical and Reliable

This is my third Subaru Legacy Wagon. I opted for all the features except the turbo and couldn't be happier with my choice. 87 Octane gas yielded 30mpg hwy over 380 miles on my last road trip. Acceleration is more than adequate and the manual shift feature allows for passing when needed. The seats provide a comfortable driving position for extended periods. The cabin is spacious -- made more so by light from the giant sunroof -- and also very quiet at highway speeds. the steering is well weighted -- the car feels nimble and lighter than it is. Overall this car provides comfortable and economical transportation with a host of features and quality thats unmatched for the money.

Great car, has been a treat to drive. Wish I had the GT though.
Had several problems in my 5 years of ownership.

I had this car for 5 years. I bought it after my Suzuki blew up in Colorado. The first problem was no ac. I should have checked that it worked before driving it off the lot but it was winter. Another problem was with torn boots and the exhaust smelled bad. I don’t fix those issues. The next issue was power steering went out. Next was the rear left bearings needed replacing. After a year finally the struts started going. Then after that I’ve had enough and traded it in. I also had to replace the regular stuff like brakes rotors and battery. It was a nice car it just had to much reliability issues for only 80k. I traded it in at 135k miles.
