2002 Subaru Legacy L Wagon review from North America
"Poor head gasket material could cause major expense"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 63K miles a little coolant leak starts..1K miles later I had to replace the head gaskets for a $2000 bill.
General comments?
This is not rare for 1998 to 2002 2.5L engines. this is my 3rd Subaru, but might be my last. The dealer laughed at me when I asked them to consider covering some of the expense under warranty.
