New water pump installed at 70,000 miles.
Timing belt replaced at 70,000 miles, but this was standard maintenance on this car.
Plastic seat belt restrainer broke, but this was a minor inconvenience.
This car ran and rode extremely well.
The engine was exceptionally quiet and smooth, especially at idle.
The four-cylinder engine handled air-conditioning great, with no decrease in performance when the air conditioning was running.
Highway mileage, with air conditioning running, was 35 miles per gallon!
Virtually maintenance free except for oil changes and new plugs.
Automatic transmission shifted very smoothly.
Road noise at high speed was somewhat loud, but interior was very comfortable with lumbar supported seats.
How do I fold the backseat on my 1993 subaru lagacy?
If it is a wagon, pull the knob on the top of the side of the seat to release the seat.
If it is a sedan, check to see if there is a piece of fabric sticking out of both sides of the rear seat. pull on them to release. if you don't have the pieces of fabric sticking out of the rear seat, it probably doesn't have a fold down seat. it was an option, not a standard item on the legacy.

Nice review. My friend has a 1993 which is running fine and my girlfriend has a 1992 with almost 200000 miles. Her Legacy has ice cold air, smooth shifting 5-speed, and plenty of power. Rust is attacking both my friends and girlfriends cars, but as long has they keep passing inspection they will be around for a long time!
I own a 1993 Subaru Legacy and it has been the best car. I have replaced the Constant Velocity Joints at about 175,000 miles and put a new clutch in at about 165,000 miles. I have had no other problems with the car except vibration at around 70 miles an hour. One electrical problem that has occured is the connection with the air conditioning fan. The connection shorts out periodically for no reason, but other than that no other electrical problems. It still has lots of power and passes inspection with flying colors. It's a great car.
