1990 Subaru Legacy LS review from North America
"Incredibly dependable and a great inexpensive utility vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front CV Joints typically go out about every 50,000 miles.
Clutch is replaced every 75,000 miles.
Sun roof began to leak after it was towed backwards so Black Silcon sealer was applied and I just don't open the sun roof. Now it's a moon roof.
Muffler rusted out at 100,000 miles.
Heater core leaked at 155,000 miles and had to be repaired.
General comments?
This car is incredibly responsive for a small 2.2 liter WAGON.
Seats fold down so it actually hauls quite a bit of cargo.
Front wheel drive handling is fantastic for poor weather and sticks to the road in all conditions. This car runs like the GT, but it looks like a family station wagon.
