1997 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America
"A good compromise between comfort and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle in the exhaust.
Brakes feel soft.
Clutch began to slip easily, I had to replace it.
General comments?
165,000 miles and she's still running great.
I love the sporty styling.
Handles great, decent power, fun to drive, and great in the snow.
