1991 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America

The only thing wrong with this car is: in the Subaru tradition the body is trying to use rust as a self destruct method.

Bought used for $350US, lady owned, fully dealer serviced. It came needing some "healing" and I got it back 100% mechanically in a week (brakes, ball joints, tires, and exhaust)

Dealer parts are expensive and after market parts are available much, much cheaper. For example: the muffler lists @ $418, I installed a $30 after market "turbo" muffler.

Dealer quality is "spotty", the good ones are really good, and the bad ones are really bad!

I am seeing 27-29 MPG highway, about 20-22mpg city (Imperial gallons).

Seating is OK for about 8 hours, any longer and it is a back breaker.

Quick enough for me and handles very well.

Not too happy about the automatic in this model, though it works well, it would be a Rocket with a 5 speed.

These cars are worth nothing used, if you can find a used one that has not been too badly abused, and can deal with repairing it yourself, you will be more than happy with your purchase. I can understand how one could become a nightmare, but for a guy/girl who likes to "tinker" and repair their own these cars offer about the best used car value I've seen for quite a while.
