1998 Subaru Legacy GT review from North America
"Lots to love, but one big thing to hate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine seized up at only 80,000 miles and now needs to be replaced and/or rebuilt.
General comments?
I love everything about this car, but I don't know if I will ever buy another one as my Legacy should have run close to 200,000 miles without ever having the engine seize up. It was very disheartening as this was my very first car.
