2002 Subaru Legacy GL Sport Tourer 2.0 petrol
Summary:
It leaves a good Legacy!
Faults:
Engine had a misfire, mechanic sorted it for a fairly cheap price, nothing serious.
Done the cam-belt and kept it serviced.
Usual mechanicals for age and miles - exhaust, suspension, brakes, etc.
Body work has some small signs of rust, but nothing major and no MOT failures.
Air con stopped working long ago, never bothered to fix. CD player (original) also a bit dodgy. Passenger mirror slow to operate.
General Comments:
Bought this as an interesting second car, always liked 1990's / early 2000's Subaru's.
Fairly standard GL model, do not confuse this with the faster rally bred versions. This car is slow. 2.0 petrol is not that economical either! It does have AWD though. Great in winter.
Alloy wheels are too small in proportion with the rest of the car, otherwise quite good looking for a family estate car. Mine is silver.
Very spacious, simple and comfortable interior, much better design than earlier models. Still a bit too dull and grey however for most peoples liking.
A bit expensive to run, but a typically reliable, fun and simple Japanese car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
