Great Car - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By jakeylake - June 24 - 2:00 amOverall a solid car, both inside and out. The exterior finish of car is outstanding, while the interior is above average. The simplicity of using the controls in the car suggests a well designed layout. The lumbar seat for the driver is wonderful for long trips. The AWD was one of the main selling points for this car. The AWD is rock solid, and cars like the VW passat, Audi A4 and Volvo charge $1000.00s when comparing with Legacy GT.

2000 Legacy GT Limited - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By J. Meade - June 18 - 12:03 pmQuite a surprise for me to first drive this Subaru. I had a couple of older, less expensive Subys in the past. This one truly is a sports sedan that ranks with the Mazda 6, Jetta, Altima, and Accord. With the AWD feature youre one notch above these cars in bad weather. This car is very smooth without being mushy. Quiet and comfortable interior.

Great Car Great Price - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By NRS - January 17 - 10:00 amGreat car and at a great price. I already have 55000 miles on the car and it runs better then the day I bought it. The AWD works great in snow and is very nice to have in Alaska. It does however get rather poor gas mileage I was expecting 30 miles to the gallon but it gets around 25 max. The 2.5L engine works great and gives the car an adequate amount of power.

2000 Subaru GT Sedan 5spd Manual - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By WD Baseley - October 14 - 10:00 amDummies put UGLY advertising plate on car despite SPECIFIC instructions not to! Otherwise nice, good service. GT worth extra $ to me because of sunroof, rear LSD, power extras, upgraded sound sys. Extra bonus is better accel. due to lower final drive ratio. Gas mileage is fine (22 to 28) and car is very relaxed cruising at speed. Confidence-inspiring handling, fun to toss around in the twisties, safe as a house, good pep but could stand another 20-30 hp. Orig. equip. tires so-so, better rubber makes big difference. Also winter tires if you see snow; they turned my car from "gets me home in any conditions" to "whoo-hoo its snowing lets play!"

Youd be surprised... - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By vtdriver - September 30 - 10:00 amhow many trips I had to make to the service department. Issues during the warranty period were numerous. 2 that linger are chatter when engaging the clutch in cold weather, and softness of the brake pedal, which improves if you come of the brake and then get back on it again. The dealer claims that these flaws do not exist. Legacy does a nice job cruising through the Vermont winter. Mileage isnt bad for all wheel drive. Were reliability better, I would gladly recommend it. Unlike my old Loyale, this is no longer a car that can rack up hundreds of thousands of miles without racking up a big maintenance bill.

Solid, Dependable, Fun to Drive - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By Dave Crawford - September 10 - 4:43 pmPurchased to replace 1996 Legacy GT Automatic. Loved the 5 speed feel and control. The SOHC 2.5 is more responsive and easier to maintain. We have done basically nothing to the car except maintain it in 112000 miles. The only weak area seems to be maintaining wheel alignment. We have had a ball with the car. Intend to keep it another 3 years at least.

Great Car - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By Ed B - August 31 - 10:06 pmOur second Legacy (the first one ran to 150,000 miles without a hitch). Good reliable car, enough pick-up (not a drag racer, though). The seats are comfortable and wear well. Car still looks good 6 years later. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Awesome Drive - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By condo9 - August 30 - 10:00 amI LOVE THIS CAR. I have put over 80,000 miles on my Outback in 2 years. I bought it because I backpack, bike, and haul my dogs around..Plus, I wanted a car that was going to last me more than 200,000 miles. Ive been to CO, TN, MO, and IN, in rain, snow, ice, and am completely satisfied with this cars ability to handle it all.

great car for the $$$$$ - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By hates snow - May 20 - 10:00 amLots of fun to drive .. tough on brakes and tires ... hugs the road like a more expensive sports car and is great in the snow!! Its my wifes car and she loves it. Although its becoming a bit small for my 62" son and all his hockey / lacrosse / football gear. He thinks we should get a new car and give him this one. Such a dreamer, but it would be a great 1st car .. lots of safety features ... Id buy it again!

Im Happy with it, but... - 2000 Subaru Legacy
By JRes - October 14 - 8:23 pmI bought this car new and it has had its problems. I like the ride and the power is good although I agree that the engine runs too fast at higher speeds. This car could use a better gearing spread or a sixth gear. Heres the list of the cars problems: bad electrical harness, replaced under warranty; leaking sunroofs replaced under warranty 2 times, broken front swaybar, not under warranty; rear sunroof shade wont move in its track, not under warranty, and I have just started to notice a steering shimmy that does not bode well.
