1997 Subaru Legacy Limited review from North America
"Excellent wagon - Great family vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems we had with the Outback were the paint on the hood had started to peel, and also the interior leather had a little wear and tear.
Another problem we had was with the window motor. It burned out at around 67,000 miles.
General comments?
The wagon came equipped with AWD standard.
The wagon handled well in emergency situations as well as on dirt.
This car had excellent get up and go, especially when my other car was in the shop.
Although I didn't always use it as a POV, this vehicle did well on the trips to the station. After awhile, we traded in this one for a 2006 Outback, which has also been a great car.
