This is the first new car I have ever bought. Fun to drive and looks very stylish. I definitely get looks from other drivers. The fuel economy is marginal at best.
100,000 and still going

This is my first car which I purchased used in high school. I didn't put many miles on it at the time but I have been a commuter for college. The car is great in all conditions but I have had all of the typical Subaru problems including head gasket which started leaking at 50k and was repaired and is leaking again (it's not going to get fixed this time) and wheel bearings. It is a 9 year old car at this point with a good amount of mileage so it is bound to have its problems. The other big issue I have always had and you will to if you do a lot of highway driving is the wind noise due to having no seal around the car door windows. This issue also leads to a tendency of the car being super pichy on windy days.

Great car. Tried them all. Audi4, Volvo60, Saab93. This car has the best return for dollars spent. The ride is better then most. It handles great, and I just got 31 mpg on highway speed max at 65 mph to 60 mph for about 120 miles highway only.

Just traded in a very expensive to mantain VW Passat that I loved, but this Subaru Legacy is now my favorite car so far. I just drove to Las Vegas and averaged 31-32 miles a gal at 75- 80 mph. I faced some extreme winds and the car held its own quite well. I can't wait to take it in the snow!
Best sedan in size and quality

I bought a 2008 Legacy in mid 2007 and it has been hands down the best vehicle I've owned. Its hard to find a high quality sedan that's not too large. The interior is quiet and materials are superior to others. The design is perfect - everything is proportional, unlike so many new sedans that look "different" to get attention. I always buy new cars and this is the first one to go the first 20k miles without even one tiny, minor little thing to look into. It's been fantastic and I'll definitely buy another.
