1993 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America
"Subaru; safe, fast, amazing, I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is the best car I have ever had. I love this thing, it's a joy to own and it rides like it's on rails.
When I bought it, I took it for a 2 minute test drive and didn't really feel the car, but I bought it regardless.
After paying for it and registering it, the Check Engine light disappears, but comes on once in a blue moon. The ABS light came on once.
The CV boot makes a little noise and the sunroof leaks due to a "pipe blockage by leaves".
Anyways, I love this car regardless. It's a sleeper and quite zippy. Great handling, and for what it's worth, I would stand it up next to an AUDI or BMW Station wagon of its time.
Price of repairs is a joke compared to German cars, and buy tools DIY or find a good mechanic who doesn't rip off and knows what he/she is doing...
General comments?
I really love my Subaru, superior quality, great craftsmanship.
The boxer engine, which is closed deck and bulletproof to boosting. Very tunable and modifiable to any spec.
This is a great daily driver or winter beater. With proper tires you can go where not many can.
Loves to chug gas a lot and it only drinks 94 octane.
It's pretty quick to accelerate, and the torque curve is generous to give it a 16 second stock qt. mile. An intake and exhaust with additional boost will bring this beast into 13s. Starts every time. 4wd transmission is great. I wish I had LSD in the rear. Star is the name of my Grey Subaru Legacy GT WAGON.
