I've been driving for a long time (35 plus years) A few years back I fell for the nice looks of the Legacy and purchased one for winter use only. My God, what a cheap unsafe car this is. In the snow (no stopping power) Cheap tires, weak A/C, joke of a radio, The seats stain just looking at them. The battery is the correct size for toy, The paint job is about as cheap as they come...the list goes on and on. Hell I even measured the "metal" with a meter and its 1/3 less thichness then my Summer car (G37S drop top). This is not an attack on the amazing WRxSTI (Truly amazing) Baja or SVX ( Both fun cars) but an attack on the Legacy and the Subaru adds that "show" to how safe this car is, It's not. I thought cars like this went out in the 70's In closing if you love your family think hard about getting them a legacy, For the money spend on a new one you could get a 2010 used Mercedes C class all wheel drive. Thats what I'm doing.
