Legacy up for sale :( Having second thoughts
Discussion
I'm going to miss this car as it's been brilliant. It has comfortably taken us all around the country over the last year. The 2.5, while thirsty, is a pretty smooth engine, as is the autobox. The seats are a lovely place to sit especially when it's cold and the seat warmers are on. It's robust and hasn't left us stranded anywhere. My kids love it too (my eldest calls it 'the tank').
It's the MIL/my first Subaru and we weren't quite accustomed to the level of security you feel when driving it. It's not fast by any means but it does what it does very well. Lots of space in the boot especially for those airport runs.
So, why am I writing this? I've not had any input into this part of the forum so feel obliged to before it goes, and I kind of miss it already. I can't justify having 4 cars so the Leggy needs to go but a small part of me doesn't really want to sell it. It's only on 71k and its replacement (Saab 9-3 on 126k miles) has a bit to live up to.
My local petrol station will miss me but needs are a must. Saying that, I'll definitely buy another in the future.

I expected no less from you lot. 
Things have changed slightly since I last posted though.
The car is conditionally sold to a chap not too far from me. Couldn't find the V5 (I have no idea where it went) so ordered a new one from DVLA. Once that arrives, the Leggy can make its way to him for a steal.
The Saab? My sister recently found a new job requiring a fair bit of motorway mileage. Enter Saab 93 into her life, swift exit out of mine.
The plan now? The MIL found the Subaru a bit too big to drive so wants something smaller but equally as comfortable like a Civic but not a Civic (pff, yeah, right. Like I'm going to find a something small for a grand that has Legacy comfort levels?)
I'll more than likely purchase a Civic for the MIL which should satisfy her requirement of being a) easy to drive and b) automatic.
I still have my Micra (die, please die) and my MX5. Once the Micradies gets given away, that's when I can start looking for another Subaru. Preferably with a turbo. 
tl;dr - I like Subaru, I also like cake.
