Subaru Legacy (1998-2002) Review

Category: Large Family 4.5 out of 5

Summary of the Subaru Legacy (1998-2002)

Price Range: £20,400 to £27,400

Assets

Space, flat-four engines, reliability, driver enjoyment.

Drawbacks

Anonymous-to-ugly styling, low ground clearance for off-roading.

Verdict

The Legacy might be too bland for some, but it's an equally impressive all-rounder for executive motorway cruising or family load-lugging. Very able.

Subaru Legacy Review

Reliability and Quality5 out of 5

Impeccable build quality, engineering and dealer back-up are borne out by Subaru's excellent showing in customer satisfaction and reliability surveys. In fact, in the definitive JD Power survey this year, the Legacy was beaten only by its little sibling, the Impreza. Generous warranty, not that you'll need it, and impressive dealer support.
