While my Subaru Legacy is getting older I resist a newer vehicle because it has been so good to me. It gets excellent mileage. It has only had minor repairs, handles well on the road and has never left me stranded. I live in the Pacific Northwest where snow can be an issue but I have not even needed studs to get around town because it gets everywhere easily. On those rare occasions that it has needed a new fuel pump or other minor repair the parts were reasonable and labor minor enough to cost little to fix. As old as she is she is still quiet and starts right up without hesitation no matter how cold it is. At some point, when I finally must buy a newer car I will look for another used Subaru because my experience has been so good.

I love the 1996 Subaru Legacy GT. Its 2.5 liter boxer four-cylinder engine with great low center of gravity and weight distribution, coupled with a five-speed transmission and an AWD system with a rally pedigree make this car fun to drive and fast in corners.
