Subaru Legacy.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Subaru Legacy is a practical all-wheel-drive saloon and estate favoured by buyers who need year-round traction without the bulk of an SUV. Known for its symmetrical AWD system and boxer engine, it appeals to rural drivers, families, and those in challenging climates. Reliability is generally solid, but age-related issues with suspension components and oil consumption on higher-mileage engines warrant careful inspection. Most examples on the used market are diesel estates from the 2009-2014 generation, so service history becomes crucial.
