Subaru Legacy 3.0R Saloon - Anyone had one?
Discussion
Superb winter car. Comfortable, quiet, although makes a nice noise when booted. Reliable so far and bought with this expectation. Feels faster than the 0-60 suggests.
31mpg at 80mph indicated cruise control. 25mpg mixed use. 18mpg if you boot it everywhere.
Gearbox is a bit ponderous, but I prefer it to a manual.
Trade off for the comfortable ride is a fair bit of body roll, but it hangs on and is great fun.
Brakes seem a bit fragile, the inner sides of both of my front discs have a lip part way across them when overall they and the pads are not that worn, so awaiting replacements, need to judge when replaced.
It covers ground in good conditions much like my wife's Mk V GTI but rolls more and the brakes feel less strong. At cruise and in poor conditions it excels.
