This Year's Model Updates:

Only minor changes are in store for Subaru's midsize Legacy sedan and wagon. GT Limiteds receive a standard All-Weather Package that includes heated front seats, heated outside mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer. GT models now have larger front brakes, a new ignition switch illumination ring, standard floor mats and wood grain-patterned door switch trim. Other upgrades for all Legacys include a dome light off-delay and an internal trunk release (sedans only).

Pros:
  • All-wheel drive, a host of standard features, less expensive than many European competitors.
Cons:
  • Side airbags available only on Limited models, no six-cylinder engine offered.

  • Aint None Better, for the money - 2002 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I started with a 98 GT, graduated to a 02. I miss the hood scoop and the color white, but other than that, I like the car very much. The wife puts too many miles on it, but it goes and goes and still goes some more. The kids love it, the pep, the handling, etc. That took me some what by surprise, because it is a wagon. We are just another happy family with a Subaru to get around in.

  • 4th Subaru (better each time) - 2002 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I got a leftover 02 L-wagon for $600 under invoice w/3.9% financing. I love the car. Great seats and driving position. Wagon has lots of room for luggage/stroller and grocery bags. Everything is solid on the car. A well equipped vehicle for the L (base) model. Subaru’s are the most reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned (as good as my Acura Legend and Toyota X-cab 4x4 Pickup!). Very easy to service for the weekend mechanic. Truly Subarus have best in class crash test ratings. Glad we had one when someone decided to cross a divided highway in front of my wife w/ her ‘95 Impreza. Have looked at crash ratings ever since!

  • No Nonsense Performance & Practicality - 2002 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    This car is exactly what I had hoped it would be. It is primarily a practical car with enough flair to make it fun and pleasurable to own and drive. The GT version handles well enough to have some sporting fun while the all-wheel drive allows you to drive relatively aggressively in the snow and ice. It is essentially a 12 month, 4-season GT car.

  • This car rocks - 2002 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Listen Subaru rocks!!! I have a 95 wagon LS and i love it and im seriously considering buying another the only problem i have with them is their high price tag sure you get an awesome machine but it is a tad expensive when comparing to others like toyota matrix for example But dont get me wrong they have the best engine out of any car and their vehicals have guts

  • Great Value - 2002 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    We just picked up our 2nd Subaru last week for only $17,827. For that price we got ABS, AWD, wagon bodystyle, AM/FM/cassette, A/C, cruise, keyless, power windows, power locks, power steering, power mirrors, and carpets. Nothing can match the features for the price. The car feels solid and smooth, and was delivered with zero flaws. Its roomy, quiet, comfortable, and was best in class in IIHS crash tests. Its fun and practical. Warranty is better than Honda. Materials better than average for the class, too.
