1990 Subaru Legacy review from North America
"I love this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator -- replaced.
Water pump leakage -- still must be replaced so I always have to keep an eye on the engine temp.
I can't honk the horn because I'll blow a fuse!
The door locks automatically lock when a person tries to open the door!
General comments?
Although there have been quite a few things that have recently gone wrong with this car, I still love it because it is very reliable in below zero weather and also has very good all wheel drive in ice and snow.
Overall it has been a very cheap car to maintain and has withstood two collisions.
It has quick pick-up and has wonderful handling. I love this car!
