SubaruN00b Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hello everyone! I am new to these forums (and Subarus!) so just thought I'd make my first post! I am 17 and just got my first car! It's a 1998 Subaru Legacy. It's a fairly basic car with manual windows, manual mirrors and no power locks... but it'll get the job done! Anyway... I was hoping you guys could give me some information on maybe this year Legacy specifically? Are they reliable cars? Are there any widely known issues with these vehicles? Etc... I am just looking for FACTUAL information from actual subaru owners instead of doing a google search and 80% of the stuff I find being bullshit. ANY information would be fantastic! ____ YEAR: 1998 MODEL: SUBARU LEGACY TRIM: BRIGHTON/WAGON TRAN: Automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelwatts Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Read the 2nd gen stickies first. These are great cars. I'm assuming yours is a 2.2l. It's a great engine that is very reliable. Maintenence and wear items should be all you have to worry about. I'm a native of South Carolina. I am a dying breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Manual windows? That is so cool! Lots of first gen owners swap to manual windows. They are great DDs. Like joel says, keep up on the maintenance and you're set. Very reliable. There are lots of nice upgrades (suspension, brakes, wheels, etc.) you can do along the way.
