2005 Subaru Legacy OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS

I have loved this car, but it hasn't aged well
I love my Subaru Legacy. When I bought her, I felt like she was stylish, she drove well, and was comfortable for long drives alone or with a car full of friends. I was very disappointed when I a computer sensor associated with sensing acceleration stopped working and had to be replaced (difficult to figure out this was the issue and quite costly). It is also very finicky with fluids and oil. I once went to a general place to get my fluids changed, and I had to take my car back to a Subaru dealership to get the proper fluids because the car was not driving correctly. In the past years (~50,000 miles) I've had to have the power steering fluid holder replaced *twice* as well the brushings, bearings, timing belt (but I knew this was expected), and need to have the catalytic converted+O2 sensors replaced. It has been disappointing to have to invest so much money into the car in the past several years.

Wonderful car!
We purchased this car for my wife as a family car. It has proved to be a wonderful family car and my wife loves it! The only other vehicle she will trade it for is a truck. This car has 220,000 miles on it, and the only issue we (just recently) have is the cruise control went out. No biggie. For a vehicle this age and with this many miles, I am more than excited to have minimal issues with it. We are more than happy with our purchase.

2005 Subaru Legacy - needs improvement
I love my car. IÕve owned it for 11 years, and I was the second owner. IÕve put about 85,000 miles on it in the time IÕve owned it. While I do love my car, it has mechanical issues that are hard to ignore. In the time IÕve had it, IÕve gone through three turbo replacements and one engine replacement. The car goes through oil extremely fast, even with regular maintenance on it at the local Subaru dealer. While it has its issues, IÕve owned it for a long time and grown attached to it. It is a fun car to drive; it handles very well in wet weather and in winter conditions. I would still recommend the vehicle to a friend but warn them to keep a careful eye and ear out for any new sounds/smells/lights on the dash, so they can catch issues before the issues become larger problems.
