1997 Subaru Legacy GT-B review from UK and Ireland
"Try it at least once!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot lid catch/lock would not operate from central locking or key. Clutch failed at about 52000km, expensive to replace.
General comments?
Very understated q-car.Ideal family car for the person who doesn't want to draw to much attention. The kick from the second turbo from about 5000 rpm is wicked, surprise's a few people. The 4wd system is brilliant in all conditions and has never let me down. Engine offbeat note is nice, mine has a 4inch tailpipe!. Cannot find a proper replacement car? Come on Subaru, no half measures!!
