1998 Subaru Legacy GT Limited Sedan review from North America
"The price of a used Subaru is worth the money, no matter the style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator failure at 230,000 mile mark.
1st tune up at 215,000 mile mark.
Wheel kit left front had to be replaced due to wear and tear of mountain and washed out roads.
General comments?
Great car for all types of weather driving.
Very happy with the longevity of the mechanical parts.
Does not perform well on 87 or 89 octane gas.
Not favorable to use less than high performance tires.
Very good traction control and steering.
