What’s new
A driver airbag is now standard on the Legacy LS and LSi; it is optional on L model. A trunk pass-through opening in the rear seats, rear heater ducts, and cupholders integrated into the dashboard give more utility to the passengers.

1992 Subaru Legacy LS 4dr Wagon AWD
Bought car for less than $1,000 because it needed wheels(+tires). Chassis has 200k miles, but newer engine has less than 100k miles. A/C is acting up, and I wish I had the 5 spd manual because the 4 spd auto is a dinosaur. Factory stereo was decent, but was showing age until I replaced it. Oodles of space, great fuel economy (for its weight), and amazing reliability (with proper care) … have made this little car earn a place in my family :) (His name is Oliver). Just keep up on the tire alignments and the awd Subaru Legacy will deliver hundreds of thousands of miles going wherever you need to go.

1991 Subaru Legacy L 4dr Wagon
i have owned and operated a 91 subaru
legacy l wagon for the past two years
and it has been wonderful. i have had
no major problems and i still get about
21 miles to the gallon. i am a high
school student and i think that it
would make an excelent first car. for
an old wagon i was extremely suprized
to discover the pep that the car can
deliver. i have an automatic …
transmission, and i really seems to
choose the gears well depending on how
much pressure you put on the gas. with
a little wider tires, the vehicle seems
to have a better feel on the road, so i
would suggest that as an aftermarket
addition.
New opinion of foreign cars!

1992 Subaru Legacy L 4dr Wagon
I used to believe all foreign cars were junk. But i got this car for 700 out of desperation and could not be happier. Every time i go to do some work on it i am impressed with it's design. It is pushing 200,000 miles and the engine sounds great. I am incredibly impressed with the power that it's small 2.2 and automatic transmission have, and it is easy to control. I am getting around … 25 mpg which is very impressive. Engine is small and very easy to work on (i pulled the crank pulley with out removing anything but the belts). It starts right away and will run all day long perfectly happy. I have even had the car loaded down with 5 full grown adults and i couldn't even tell. Very happy!

1992 Subaru Legacy L 4dr Wagon AWD
Bought this car from it's first owner with 200,000 miles on it. Now has over 250k and we've only had to replace the muffler, the harmonic balancer and the alternator - amazing for a car that's been around this long. "Reliable" doesn't even cover it! Couldn't ask for a better "get out of debt" car. Not very pretty after hitting a deer last winter, but one learns humility :).
