We bought the car used, and so it is 20 years old already. We really just needed to buy something fast to get to and from work, but we ended up being surprised by how long its lasted and how dependable it is. The look is retro to say the least, but for a college student, it works well, and there is a lot of seating room and trunk room, which is really handy. The car itself was very rusty when we got it, and has continued to rust faster and faster. The car really maneuvers well for its size. The gas mileage is average. Not as great as a newer car, but better than our old mini van! The breaks are a little more worn than I prefer, but work just fine. At this point, the greatest problem is simply the muffler. The car makes a lot of noise. Otherwise, with a battery replacement, the ride is smooth and the car starts every morning, and it kinda looks like the car a beach bum would drive, which I'm okay with.

The Subaru Legacy is a great car. I have had it since I was 16. I had a few things go out in 2010, but that is understandable considering the car is 17 years old. Overall it's been very reliable. My husband and I are actually considering getting another Subaru.
