1998 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America
"Everybody should have a Subaru AWD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
Except I wish the gas mileage could be better, getting an average of 20-21MPG.
General comments?
Most stable car I have driven.
Handles extremely well. Awesome in the rain, and when cornering hard on dry pavement.
Surprised on how nice it rides, for a car that can corner. Cars that handle well usually sacrifice in ride quality, but not this one.
Will keep this one forever if I can. Second car will be a manual though.
