1997 Subaru Legacy L review from North America
"Great AWD, lack of acceleration"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with this car.
General comments?
So far this has been a very reliable car. I wish this car got off the line faster. When you get fast 3 rpms then you get going very well. The AWD is beautiful in this car has only been stuck once and that was because it was beached because lack of ground clearance when I was offroad in a field and tried to clear a steep ditch I got through it, but I had to back up due to a stump being in front of me and that's when I got stuck. Though this car has no skid plates no damage was sustained during this incident. This car can go through countless amounts of snow. My only real gripe is the acceleration.
