1990 Subaru Legacy l review from North America
"It is a spacious, low-key, fuel efficient vehicle that can haul a$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats have minor wear.
Exhaust crack: muffler pipe disconnected from back end of the cat.
General comments?
The 2.2 engine is incredibly fast. the car hits 65 mph in 2nd gear.
If the muffler disengages, the car is far louder and deeper than anyone could guess. it sounds like a truck. it happened a few days ago, and I have not yet fixed it and I have been pulled over a lot for it.
Great on gas. 33 mpg highway, ~30 mpg around town.
Very roomy wagon.
