Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer (2003 - 2009) 2.0i 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not much.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Not much, not that impressed with it!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, I would go for an Audi if I want a car with four wheel drive.

What are you likely to buy next?

Pretty much anything!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Average deal, nothing special.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Practical and AWD.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, had plenty of time for us.

What's it like to drive?

Great on winding roads, reasonable grip in all weathers. The 2.0 engine needs revving to get any type of performance, and I use the word performance very loosely!! I couldn't keep up with my girlfriends 1.5 diesel megane, and as a result the MPG is very poor. Slow at getting up hills, and if you're brave enough to attempt to overtake someone, make sure there's no one coming the other way within the next 2 miles or you will not have time to get past!

What's it like to park?

Easy enough.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Exhaust snapped near the cat, no one keeps the exhausts or can order them except a subaru dealer. The exhaust is well over £1k so it is far cheaper to have a custom made one instead.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Its the entry level spec, there are no gadgets or accessories!
