Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer (2003 - 2009) 2.0D RE 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Doesn't follow the crowd.

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

They like it, wife much prefers this one to the previous WRX sport wagon, and so does the dog.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely, it does everything I need it do to, and does it very well. Probably the best car I have ever owned.

What are you likely to buy next?

It would have to be pretty special to make me want to change.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, same dealer I bought the previous car from, good trade in and good financial deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Decided to change from a WRX sports wagon to something a little more sensible.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent as usual, will buy from again in the future.

What's it like to drive?

Very comfortable, confident handling, lots of grip, all wheel drive traction, strong engine with good mid range torque, excellent cruiser.

What's it like to park?

Longer and wider than you think, but still okay - folding mirrors are handy when parking in tight spots, rear parking sensors would be a worthwhile investment.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing yet...

What's most practical about your car?

It's large and comfortable, cruises well and doesn't have a drink problem like the last one did... 50 mpg is realistically achievable on longer runs.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

HUGE sunroof, well equipped car overall.
