2000 Subaru Legacy review from North America
"A good handling vehicle for road conditions needing all wheel drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump went bad at about 8,888 miles.
General comments?
I like the way it handles good on the corners.
The all wheel drive sure is nice to have in the winter when the roads are snowy and icy.
The seats are uncomfortable for long trips.
The drivetrain, with a manual transmission, seems to have a lot of play and spring in it. When in first gear and going very slow, touching the gas pedal and then letting up, it really jerks forward then jerks slowing down.
On some mornings, usually after the car has sat for a while and the air may be cool and a little humid, when letting out on the clutch, the car rapidly pulsates as if the clutch is rapidly grabbing and slipping repetitively.
The trunk space is pretty large.
