1999 Subaru Legacy 30th Anniversary review from North America
"A lot of money for a low quality vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power antenna broke twice.
Rear hatch works once in a while.
Air conditioning light on dash doesn't work.
Inside front fender lining comes loose.
General comments?
This vehicle is slowly self-destructing.
The engine seems mechanically sound, but the quality stops there.
Interior comfort is at a minimum with arm rests as hard as a board.
The cup holder slides out between the radio and the temperature controls. When used, you can't get to either the radio or the heater. It also blocks the emergency flasher button.
The only drivers door switch that is lit at night is the drivers power window.
The automatic door lock button is obscured below the window controls and is impossible to find in the dark.
