Subaru Legacy Saloon 1989-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great value for money. A lot cheaper than an Impreza due to anonymous image.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    30mpg is the norm if driven sensibly. Dealer parts and service charges can damage the health of your wallet!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great handling and grip due to 4wd. Never feels anything but rock solid.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Pulls all the way up through the revs. Very rapid when called upon. Very able motorway mile-muncher.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems so far. I've done 30k miles in 18 months. It's done 170k now and still feels solid. Bit of wind noise due to worn rubber seals on front windows. Mechanically indestructable!

    Everybody thinks it's a Rover! What do they know? No Rover could keep up with this!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    All the creature comforts apart from air con. It is 10 years old!
