Subaru Legacy - any good?

[Republik]

Specifically this one http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2010...

It seems like very good value.

2003. 33k miles, 3.0R. 4WD, Auto, full leather and climate for £5,495.

Can anyone shed any light on the Legacy? What are they like to live with?

Good cars - I have the RN, same age - 62000 miles now - apart from routine servicing have had to replace tyres, pads and disks at the front and lower wishbone bushes needed doing. They aren't as savage on tyres as people will have you believe, though with an almost total absence of engine braking being an auto, I do find I can go through front pads.
Mileage - across all sorts I average 24.5mpg which I don't think is bad for a big car. You'll get a few interior creaks and rattles but nothing so bad you can't live with it.

Most people keep them until they kill them - I certainly will be

Thanks, my cousin in Canada has one very similar and I think they are very undervalued in the UK. A class leader and sales success in the USA and Canada, I was very impressed with hers.
