Subaru Legacy Tourer (2009 - 2013) 2.0D SE 5d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a practical guy, a dad, with a growing family and I'm having no nonsense.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Mixed, from "meh", to "the interior is like a Vauxhall", to "super cool".

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes and no. Yes, because it's fulfilled all I want from a practical, family car over the past 50,000miles and 2.5 years. No, as I would like 7 seats.

What are you likely to buy next?

I don't want to get rid of it, so will likely add another car with the afore-desired 7 seats.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

June 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Reasonable deal from a man who knew his cars. was a rare car to buy at the time, was 2.5 years old and the car had very little on the clock. in an new condition. I saved 50% of the new price. can't complain.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a reliable, spacious, estate car with 4WD, which, did not have to be an obvious 4x4, expected to do relatively high mileages within a short space of time.

What was the dealer like?

Nice chap.

What's it like to drive?

Great to drive on motorways and A-roads, quite precise on B-roads, steering precise, but lacks feeling. Ride reasonably comfortable. Swift pick up , but gearing too short at low revs for a diesel. Fantastic for long distances.

What's it like to park?

No standard parking sensors on the SE model, which was a shame, but after a little getting used to it, parking not an issue, though a long car at almost 4.8m.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Door mirror motors either side....errrmmm....and that's it.

What's most practical about your car?

The space, the boot, the permanent 4WD.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The heated seats, plus the relatively decent stereo.
