    Question Subaru Legacy

    The wife is finally ready to quit throwing money at her fine German Automobiles (BMW - 3 series OR Benz - C Class). The maintenance on these is killer. You can't drive past the dealer without throwing out $300 for something. I have tried to push her into a Honda Accord or some sort of Ford Product, but to no avail. Anyone got any comments, good or bad on a Subaru? Maintenance cost? Dependability? Etc.?

    Subaru has a rep for reliability. My son has had several over the years and has nothing but praise for them.

    Take a look at Kia and Hyundai if she wants a car. They have great warranties. The Legacy is a fine car if you go that way.

    Unofficial car of Vermont. Will need a Bernie sticker along with peace sign and coexist stickers to make it official!

    I don't have one but there are about a million of them around here.

    Yup, lol ^^^^^
    Most of my family had a Subaru or three. Good cars. Mix in the odd older Saab and Volvo and you have 90% of the cars in VT.

    Thank you for your incredible insight.


    As to the original question, they are very good vehicles. Safe, durable, etc.
    They are NOT as comfy as a BMW or Mercedes, but they aren't terrible at all.
    Subarus are durable, maybe the most durable nowadays. Reliability good.
    The upside, AWD all the time, strong cage, well designed, time tested, etc.
    The downside, almost no aftermarket parts, smaller dealer network, etc.

    I wouldn't at all hesitate to purchase a Subaru, Toyota or Honda vehicle.
    They are all good values with solid crash test results, safety first, always.

    Most importantly, buy Mom what she wants, it's going to make life better.

    my girlfriend has a Subaru Forester, its a really nice car and I like it. We are outdoorsy people and they design car with those kind of folks in mind. I just drove it to Kansas City and back and I was impressed

    It is much better than the official repubtard vehicle.. a beat up pickup with 4 different color of paint on it that looks like it could die at any second

    I must be confused then because I've got an '03 Forester and an '04 F250 (no different color paint but a ton of rust). Both are going strong...

    For the OP, IMO you can't go wrong with a Subaru. Reliable and safe. Newer ones are a little better appointed than mine.

    I'm on my second Legacy. First vehicle outside of a big 3 vehicle. The first one was a 2001 Legacy Limited GT--- Loaded. Now in a 2009 Legacy. When the 4 WD trucks are on their roofs, I cruise down the highway.

    Wife was an Olds and Buick girl, until a few years ago when nothing was moving because of the snow. I took her to the store in my Legacy driving around stuck vehicles. In 2015 she bought a new Forester. CC set @ 65 MPH on the road i avg. 33 mpg.

    We have never had any repairs yet. AMSOIL in every vehicle

    Okiebass--- i think you just won the Darwin award for the stupidest post

    If that's her preference, I'd say you can buy with confidence. Personally I prefer the feel and drivability of Honda but that's not based on my being worried about quality. Have a couple of Subaru drivers in the family. They love em but then Subaru owners do tend to be unusually loyal to the brand. Not sure why the connection with political affiliation but it's not a myth. Whether it's the AWD or size of the vehicles or corporate policies? They seem to work well for outdoorsy people who have racks for bikes, skis, kayaks, etc.

    I wonder how bad you have to suck at life to turn a question about a car manufacture into something political....

    Personally, I have not owned one. Family members and coworkers do, never heard any of them say a bad word about them.

    About as bad off as you have to be to miss an obvious attempt at a joke.

    Joke all you want....just sick and tired of everything having to be political.

    If you cannot make a joke without repeating the same old tired comments try a little harder.

    Well said! If some of you have to make everything political you must be leading an extremely sad life!

    That’s Ok. A lot of us just sick and tired of staying many people getting offended by pretty much everything. Light up a little.

    My wife has an Outback and I have a Crosstrek. We love them both. Contact BBC member Bronzebackfive. He works at the plant and can get you VIP pricing. He got it for us on both of our vehicles.
