I am not your "typical" import buyer. I only owned one other import make in my life and that was a Honda Civic I purchased new. That was built in Ohio, and this car is built in Indiana - an excellent selling point for me. My son crashed my Saturn Aura so I was put into the used car market, and my wife and I settled on looking for a good buy on a Subaru since we did not really want to have 2 trucks or SUVs. This little machine is great. I don't live where I can do the things I really like very often(boat, fish, swim, jet ski) but what we do have is some excellent twisty, hilly roads that those in coastal locals often don't have. With the Subaru,I get to have fun on my way home from work! Get1!
Nice handling, too many repairs

I'm the original owner, just sold it last month with 105,000 miles. The cars handles great and does well in the snow but I've had more repairs issues with it than with any other car I've owned (including a Ford Tempo). Front bearings (twice), warped rotors, rack and pinion (had to replace), power steering leaks, grease leaking from CV boots onto the catalytic converter causing a burning smell for a year, (manual) transmission needs a rebuild, rattles in the dash, fabric on the driver's seat wore through to the foam rubber after a couple of years. But at least I haven't had to fix the head gasket, which is supposed to be the number one issue with Subarus. I've enjoyed driving the car, I've held on to it for a pretty good while, but this car isn't an example of Japanese reliability. I sold it to a friend who can do the mechanical work himself and I bought a 2018 Mazda 6. I wasn't convinced that another Subaru would be any better for reliability than this Legacy.

2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Ltd 4dr Sedan AWD w/Navi, Ivory Int. (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5A)

It took a week for the dealership to transport my car from another dealership, but it definitely worth waiting for. Its powerful turbo engine is very quick and instantly responsive; it makes passing a breeze. Undoubtedly, the car handles so well that it makes driving fun. The interior noise level, however, is a bit on the high side. Fuel economy is somewhat poor for such a small car.

Car handling with AWD is great. Steering feel also very impressive with good suspension. Car rides solid and is comfortable. 175 HP engine provides sufficient low end torque.
Rocket on wheels.

Test drove Acura TL, Infiniti G35x, and the GT. Best feeling of raw power under control in a car. You don't accelerate in the vehicle, you launch from a standstill. I have not seen much in the way of turbo lag as others have reported. The car has plenty of passing power, and is all around a fun piece of machinery. It's not as refined as the TL or G35x, but is a good mix of performance and luxury features for a reasonable price.
