2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Wagon review from North America
"Not luxurious, but decent, reliable wheels for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's noisy with the boxer engine, thin sheet metal, mechanical AWD system. Interior is little on the cheap side. But compared to some of the horror stories I have seen on this site, it is a gem. Blower Motor for heating/air conditioning system failed at 20K miles.
General comments?
Generally well built if a little cheaply in places.
