1991 Subaru Legacy review from North America

Many, Many air leaks (windows and hatchback)

Constant oil leaks, got them fixed only to have them leak just a few months later.

The front hood latch would not close properly.

The hatchback wouldn't close properly either.

Engine blew out after only 107,000 miles due to manufacture defect.

Burned oil constantly.

Engine would not run smoothly (Took it to several mechanics and everytime I was told, it's a Subaru, they always have some sort of ticking noise.)

Reverse gear wouldn't work half the time.

The great thing about this car was that the heater/air conditioner was EXCELLENT...

However, an engine dying after only 107,000 miles is not so pleasant. It left me stranded on the side of the road. I looked into getting a new engine, but that would be a lot more than the stupid car is worth! Luckily, the dealership I went through was willing to pick it up and junk it for me.

I bought this car from my grandma. She only drove it to church and back and it was garaged for most of its life. I bought it from her in 2001 and had nothing, but problems.

I had to wire the hood down because no one could fix the latch. It would work temporarily only to break again.

The hatchback you would have to slam shut with a mighty force. It also had an air leak so you never had a quiet ride.

Seats are uncomfortable.

The engine would always tick.

This machine had absolutely NO POWER... To go up even a moderate hill was a chore so you can forget ANY mountain driving. (which really stunk because I live near the mountains)

When you go to put the car in reverse, it wouldn't go into gear half the time. VERY ANNOYING!

In other words, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!! I don't know how other Subaru's are, but I'm not willing to find out. After having this junker in the shop so many times, I would not buy another Subaru in my lifetime. Maybe someday they can work out the kinks, but this make and model stinks.

Sorry Subaru, lost my business for good...
