1993 Subaru Legacy LL review from North America
"It has 248,000+ miles on it - what more can I say?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
I know that there are a few things that Subies are notorious for, but from what I can tell, they are basically what I would consider scheduled maintenance, and the pros definitely outweigh the cons for this car.
General comments?
I bought this car for my son for his first car, and since he doesn't have his license yet, I drive it. It gets much better mileage than my '01 Ranger, so I'm saving lots of gas money.
I haven't had this car for too long, but so far nothing has gone wrong with it other than a tire with a slow leak :)
The interior of the car has held up well for its age, and the person I bought it from did a great job of maintaining it mechanically - she knew the things Subies need extra care on and had a good mechanic.
The car has high miles, but starts and runs like a champ. It's not leaking anywhere, and I still trust it for road trips. Plus it's AWD and where I live that's almost a necessity. I'm sure that with continued maintenance it will last my son for quite awhile - until he's ready to buy on his own.
