2002 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America
"I wouldn't buy another Subaru unless they could prove that serious improvements had been made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch started to chatter and shifting became difficult at 15k miles. It was "fixed" at about 20k, but began to act up again shortly after it was fixed. I do not drive it too hard, and I have never had any other trouble with a manual transmission.
There is a lot of wind noise, and the cabin isn't too comfortable for me, I'm only 5'11" and athletic, but I don't feel like I fit well in the drivers seat.
The headlights are poorly aimed and seem too dim to do any good.
General comments?
It handles reasonably well and all wheel drive is a great thing to have, but the clutch acts up so much I don't want to deal with it anymore.
