  Buy cheap, get cheap - 2001 Subaru Legacy
  By cafe_guzzi - June 3 - 2:00 am

  First, the pros: Can be fun to drive! Wind it out 3rd, and youre still within the national speed limit. On wet roads, driving hard, you can feel all four wheels working-- great! Now, the cons: Electric-- Aweful; build quality-- more squeaks and rattles after 41K than my F250 Diesel had after 100K miles; Door panels have fallen off, switches break; and I dont know how the headlights pass DOT. Ill run this one into the ground, and doubt Ill get another... not even a WRX.

  Dont even think of it! - 2001 Subaru Legacy
  By tomday - March 31 - 5:40 pm

  Even if the head gaskets have been done you will be doing them again between 35-40K miles. Bottom line If you own a SUbrau its not a matter of "if" but "when" youll be doing head gaskets to a tune of $2K to $4K. Dont be fooled by someone trying to sell you one. Years affected. 1998 - 2012 2.5L engines. Yes, up to 2012! If yo have one think about selling it.

  On Subaru 10...and FINAL - 2001 Subaru Legacy
  By Disgruntled - March 30 - 12:40 pm

  Ive owned 9 other Subarus. Each Subaru had over 200000 miles on them and ran incredibly well. I now own a 2001 Legacy GT Limited and have had nothing but problems since day one. The first month I had the vehicle, I had lost my brakes. The pedal wouldnt even move at all. This happened twice. Dealer "fixed" the problem each time. Since then Ive blown my engine because the head gaskets. There are SO MANY other issues Ive had since purchasing this vehicle. I hope this helps anyone looking at one. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER SUBARU AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!
