1995 Subaru Legacy GL review from North America
"Ultra Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At around 140,000 Kilometers, the air conditioning stopped working.
At around 120,000, the trunk stopped opening, but was fixed by lubricating the latch.
Other than that, it has been a great, ultra-reliable car that hasn't needed repair, other than the usual tune ups.
Bland interior.
General comments?
Handling is what you'd expect from a small wagon, engine stutters a bit, but other than that, it runs fine, body and engine are otherwise in great condition.
Bought the car in 1995, haven't had do any major repairs ever since. Mechanically the car is amazing.
Style wise it's a bit embarrassing to be driving, and in my opinion, is an eyesore to look at, which is the only reason I would not buy another Subaru. Besides that, I have no other complaints.
