1994 Subaru Legacy GT review from Japan
"Beautiful cruising car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake pads had to be changed. Extensive oil leaks in the engine had to be fixed which cost a lot of money.
Drivers door skin loose and rattled a lot.
Air flow sensor-VERY expensive.
General comments?
An absolutely great car to drive! It really was nice and a great cruiser. Performance was OK, but these are not light cars so there was some sluggishness. Great for over-taking and highway driving, but not so great for heavy city driving. The biggest thing for me was the fuel consumption- terrible. It was hard to enjoy the car when you are constantly checking the fuel level. Also the fuel tank was too small for long trips, max distance was only 300km. Maintenance was very expensive as subaru's are hard to work on. I loved driving my car, but would not get another one.
