jakl Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi folks, my first post. Thanks to this site I already avoided a '97 2.5L purchase. My question concerns 2.2L engines - are all years okay? I'm considering a '98 2.2L Legacy - any issues I should be aware of? Also located two '95 2.2L's. All three have low miles. Thanks for your help... Cheers, jakl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I own 2 lagacies - a 93 and a 96, both 2.2's. They bothhave been powerful, steady runners with only minor problems. The 96 had an alternator problem that was later recalled - SOA covered the replacement cost 2 years after the replacement, and it also had an oil journal get clogged. It is very close to 190 k on the clock. The 93 was purchased used and has presented no problems. Bought it with 86k and it now has 125k. Both good vehicles.

coloradosubarules Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I have a 90 wagon with the 2.2 and 240K on the clock. Runs like a scalded cat. I wish I had a driveway full of 2.2 powered vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcousins Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 My wife has had two Legacy wagons with the 2.2 engine. Both used on her mail route with a lot of stop-start, dirt roads, blasting through snow drifts (most of the time ) and just all around rough wear. They performed like a champ! We just went thru a minor blizzard this evening in the '99 Legacy wagon and it sure gives a great sense of security. I have a 90 wagon with the 2.2 and 240K on the clock. Runs like a scalded cat. I wish I had a driveway full of 2.2 powered vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
