When I first started driving I forgot to hook up my seat belts most of the time. The car had an automatic shoulder belt and you would have to clip on the lap portion of the belt. I also drove a little too fast as an inexperienced driver and one day spun out while driving with my friend on a curvy back road and crashed from a bank into the guard rails on the other side. If it weren't for the automatic seat belt my friend and I probably would have been badly hurt or worse. The body damage was pretty bad but my dad was able to get it fixed. I always hooked up my seat belt after that and so did my friend. Later, there was an electrical problem in the automatic belts and they ran back and forth in their tracks even when the car was off. until the battery went dead. We got it fixed but small electrical problems happened from time to time. The seats were comfortable and the heater was good too. The doors felt solid and I always felt safe in that car. It also ran pretty well and could keep up with traffic.

The main reason I got a Subaru Legacy is because of the vehicle's safety, reliability and the famous Subaru all-wheel drive system. This is a vehicle that I just leased in late June and only had for about three full months, but so far, I have to say that I am very satisfied. The interior is roomy, refined and well executed. The Legacy is quiet to drive, great on gas (gets me about 32-33 MPG mix of local/highway), and feels very solid. The touchscreen infotainment system (Subaru StarLink) is easy to use, and I like the four months free Sirius XM subscription that came with the car. Also, the one-year free trial of the StarLink Safety and Security System is a big plus, and it makes me feel very safe. I drive my daughter to school every day in the car seat, and she has plenty of room in the back. The trunk is very spacious and fits lots of my cargo. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and cannot wait for the winter to truly test the famous Subaru AWD system.
