Low performance gas hog
Oil Pump Leak -83K
Separator plate gasket replaced 80K
TRANSMISSION replace 93K.
After multiple visits and replaced parts the dealer finally determines the transmission has failed and needs to be replaced due to an internal seal that cannot be replaced without a NEW transmission.

A great family car
Nothing really has broken down. The only problem I have with the car is I get a quiet squeak from the wheels every one in awhile.
The previous owner left a list of what was replaced:
1 front driver side brake.
When I went to the dealer, I knew I wanted a Subaru station wagon. I used to own one about 7 years ago, and loved it, until I was rear-ended by a semi-truck.
This subaru is awesome. I bought it for about $13,000, and discovered it was well worth the price. The special anniversary edition Legacy comes with A/C, sunroof, and various other cool accessories.
The car runs very well. I have never had any complaints about the car, except when my husband ripped the warning sticker that was on glove box off, it left behind parts of the sticker. Oh well.
The car, being a 4 cylinder, doesn't have quite the acceleration I want on it (I guess it is because I am so used to driving high performance vehicles like the corvette), but overall, it is a great family car.

A very reliable fun to drive vehicle
Paint is kinda thin, so it chips easier from rocks.
Needed new tires at 70k miles.
Fuse that controls tail lights blew at 75k miles.
Headlights and fog lights burnt out at 82k miles.
No major problems with the car.
Everything that has gone wrong has been normal wear and tear that you would find on any vehicle.
This car is very sporty and fun to drive.
I highly recommend it!

ROTFLMAO!
How many cars will go over 470,000 with only replacing the timing belt, water pump, radiator and tires? Oh and regular tuneups and oil changed every 2500 miles.
My 1990 Legacy wagon did.
BTW, just sold it "finally" for $300 to a friend... they DROVE it away.
SUBARU is THE CAR to have.
I suggest to those having issues, that they should learn how to properly maintain a car and only buy properly maintained cars. A whole load of problems then vanish!
