2005 Subaru Legacy Limited Wagon review from North America
"Great car with different back rest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers back rest has real bad contours. Gave me back problems. Had two power lumbars installed. Made it better, but still not good enough. I had to trade the car in. Bang for the buck this is a great wagon except for the back rest. The Impreza's are also like this. Battery had to be jumped by me three times. Dealer found no problems.
General comments?
If you have any back problems - do not purchase this car. It has power seats that I thought I would be able to find a sweet spot. I didn't. I'm driving and Audi Allroad that rides great. I also like the C & E class Mercedes for my back, but not the BMW (3 & 5 series) not the Jaguar.
