1995 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon 2.0 Twin turbo (petrol)

Summary:

All road, all season rocket

Faults:

Nothing has really gone wrong with the car, however, difficulties exist with getting the wheel alignment set correctly; Alignment specialists have yet to get the toe in set correctly which results in uneven tire wear.

Rocker Cover Gaskets and cam belts replaced at 101,000kms; as expected.

Power curve uneven, gates for boost control re-set by dealer successfully.

Occasionally makes a bubbling noise when first started, yet undiagnosed.

General Comments:

Fantastic practical car for all year round, very comfortable ride in all seasons due to good climate control.

Well suited to winter, and certainly snow conditions. The window de-misters work well front and rear. Also side mirror heaters are great!

With 205kW (280bHP) it outperforms anything I have previously owned, and passing big trucks in short spaces no problems!

Auto transmission sometimes a pain, but the power button is great when passing to get the gear changes and chop down performing better.

Heaps of room for luggage and tie down latches in the boot are awesome for strapping down gear in the back, they have come in very handy when transporting large heavy objects like fridges.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
