Subaru Legacy Estates ......any good ?

[alfaman]

I need to find something to replace my very old Alfa 164 with soonish ....

I thought one of these might just do the job .... I'd ideally like a sporty estate big enough to take mtn bikes and climbing gear etc....preferably something that can do long motorway journeys in comfort too ..


a few Q's if any enthusiasts on here know ...

Are the post 2004 models an improvement over the previous generation ?

Are the Outbacks any better to drive than the normal estates ?

Are the turbo'd variants available in the UK ?

Is the Legacy particularly thirsty ?

Any particular problems to look for ?



any advice gratefully received......thanks.

thanks for that .... BTW ... your comments bring back some memories of having a bit of a blast on the gravel roads round Glenorchy last year
