Gutless and Reliable

I'm driving this car around 150 miles to college and work every day. I've logged about 30k miles on this car since I got it, and so far it's holding up perfectly. The tried and true EJ25 engine performs just as well as it did 15 years before this model. I get plenty of power from a stop thanks to the short first gear and the option to shift on command. Thanks to Subaru's symmetrical AWD system as standard, this car has no issue with dirt, snow, ice, or shallow mud with the cheapest all-season tires money can buy. Now add in that this car has enough space for 4 people as well as a fairly spacious trunk and you've got a great cross country grocery getter. This car has served me well at 180k+ miles and I'm confident it'll continue to do so. My only complaints are that it burns or leaks egregious amounts of oil (it's a Subaru, so why wouldn't it?), it's absolutely lethargic at highway speeds, and the front seats are pretty uncomfortable for long drives. Overall, if you need to get from point A to Point B no matter what the world throws at you and you don't feel like breaking the bank, get a Subaru.

Performance and a back seat

Performance (not enough character for review so to the point) Quarter-mile 14.5 but can be quicker (read) Handling-poor. Change the FRONT springs to "Tien" lowering springs, 2 hours and changes everything. Now, she power slides, launches keeping the rear spinning, quarter mile drops by a massive 0.7sec To 13.8. All thanks to a set of FRONT lowering springs. Don't question it, just understand it. Whomever made the decision for the suspension was smoking some real heavy stuff. Now it's the best damn car I EVER owned. Drifts, slides, rips up the q-mile and gets groceries. Reliable & dependable. Quick & subtle. Now it's right.

Great Car

After logging 47,500 miles, I can say that this is a great car. I almost went with the Fusion, but am glad I purchased the Legacy instead. The AWD is great in the snow and the mp3 player input has helped me get through too many traffic jams. The only issue with the car is that it is a bit low on torque, but the manual shift mode mitigates that. Other than routine maintenance of changing tires, brakes, battery, and the other usual stuff all cars require, I had the interior door handle break in the dead of winter ($15 replacement). My gas mileage went from 23.5 mpg to 24.5-25 mpg after changing the tires from the stock set.

Fuel mileage for a 4 cyl. is very poor. Do not like the hesitation from start. Do not like the pulsating in fuel going down hill. Would much rather have my SUV back.
