2002 Subaru Legacy consumer reviews

The car is not uncomfortable; however, it continually breaks down and needs fixing. Sometimes to get it started, I have to pop the hood. It runs ruff and is noisy.

This car was the most reliable car we have owned and exceeded all of our expectations. One of these days I will miss it so much.

These are perfect little cars that run forever if taken care of properly. The early models like the 2002 are some of my favorite body style. Excellent little cars. Go get ya one.

Bought this car for commuting. Okay leg room, seat mostly comfortable, works for commuting. However, it has a wimpy engine, seat belt is difficult to get to, and is a strip down basic car.

This vehicle is excellent on gas, and is very reliable. Great condition. No accidents. Very low miles.

When I bought this car it had 500 miles on it, it was a demo car. I got a sweet deal on it and I was so happy to make it work out to buy it. I drove a lot for work, 50,000 a year was my average. I live in Vermont and needing to be on the roads all 12 months of the year and I found it best to put 4 snow tires on it. It was a tank in the snow. I had never felt so safe driving in the winter as I did with that car. With a moon roof in the summer it was such fun to drive.

I've owned this car for a little over a year now, and love it. I have the GT model, which gives you an upgraded interior, and a traction control system. As a wagon, it's extremely practical. It can easily haul 4 adults and their gear for a weekend getaway. The driver's seat is 6-way adjustable and is very comfortable. The back seats are comfortable and have plenty of legroom. The trunk is massive and can swallow tons of stuff (not literally obviously). I'm about 5' 11" and I can comfortably lie down in the trunk with the back seats folded down. Speaking of cargo, there's also a roof rack should you be wanting to put a travel box up there. The All Wheel Drive system is excellent and provides great control even in low traction scenarios (if your tires are good). The GT model has a torque vectoring center differential that sends 70% of the torque to the front and 30% to the rear under normal driving conditions. However, if it detects wheel slippage, it locks up and splits the torque 50/50. The front differential is open and the rear is limited slip. If you're not very technical, this setup basically gives you excellent control of the car even in snow or mud. The only complaints I have about this car are performance and gas mileage. The 4 cylinder engine makes 165 horsepower which is usually enough for daily driving, but it can struggle with passing at times. The gas mileage is also average, between upper teens and lower 20s depending on how you drive it, but it could definitely be better. This is the first car I've owned and it definitely was a good purchase. It's extremely reliable and practical. I highly recommend it!

This 2002 GT is my first car, bought 2014 January with 165,000 KM cost $5900 CAD. First impression it handled like a go-kart in a good way, fast and cuts corners like butter. I'm also 6' 3" but can still drive comfortably 4 months ago I had all head gaskets, water pump, and timing belt changed because my gaskets were blown so now the car feels faster and way smoother. ALSO 2 weeks ago I started using Premium Octane and my car has been wicked fast and even smoother! IF YOU OWN A SUBARU WITH TURBO, SPRING FOR PREMIUM I also Love the styling of the outside, its OG

This is an amazing car, great acceleration, comfort, styling inside and out. VERY reliable. never had anything wrong. Just change the oil and she goes.

lov the car its a all around fun and exciting auto to drive very firm and supportive seats bland granny styling but handles like a sports car dont much care for the cruise control setup althouth it works just fine i bought this car for my wife and she loves it (girl car) i have 132,000 miles on it and it should go another 100,000 they last forever!
