My first car purchase ever. I was just finishing up my freshman year of college and I told myself that if I made enough money I could spend half of it on a car purchase. My parents always told me that I had to earn things and throughout high school I would just borrow my dad's car but I never felt like it was my own. So as soon as I had the money I wanted to buy a car that fit my lifestyle at the time. Well I was shopping for a car for a few months and I finally came across an ad for a Subaru Outback for only $3600. I immediately thought of all the cool stuff I could transport in it: my bikes and sports equipment, computers and hardware for my job, DJ equipment on the weekends, suitcases and bags for road trips with my friends... What I didn't even think of was how cool it was to rally race the legacy after I put rally shock absorbers and tweaked the transmission. The 5 speed manual was able to reach 60 in 7.9 seconds but thanks to a flywheel and intercooler addition I was able to get a station wagon up to 60 in 6.8 seconds and half the time I was doing it in knee deep mud. Towing capacity was great on the Outback and at one point I had 9 bikes folded up inside the car with the seats flat, 2 more on the roof and 3 hanging from the trunk, truly an amazing car. During move in and move out days I was the only non SUV that was able to move their entire dorm in one trip. Speaking of SUVs, the Legacy handled perfectly, with the AWD and the Goodyear extra grip tires I was able to hold 45 on a tight turn before hitting a puddle and losing grip on one wheel at 50 mph. Took the cheapest gas I could find and got pretty good fuel economy for an AWD 160 hp car. Appearance was a tough call, I myself love the look of a wagon, and when you compare the 98 Legacy Wagon with other 98 wagons it looks much better than the Volvo V70, Ford Taurus and a lot of SUVs. The Audi, Mercedes and BMW wagons might look a little better but they cost twice if not three times as much and not all of them have AWD. It was a really really really fun car, took everything I threw at it.

The car was beyond wonderful otherwise I wouldnt still be crying inside each time I see its picture :p Performance - acceleration-great for a non turbo car, braking-superb, handling-superb Build Quality - has it needed repairs? Only changed the rack ends Appearance - both interior and exterior styling were great, all I added was 100% black tint :p Cost of Ownership - gas mileage manageable as long as you are light on the loud pedal. The mileage on gas was impressive being that it had an after market 4inch exhaust, maintenance costs too were manageable coz I treated this car like a jewel :) Fun Factor - is this car fun to drive? YES, ABSOLUTE FUN especially with the dropped ride height

This is a great little car and handsomely priced in used car market as everyone warns Honda or Toyota. It's super reliable and it plows snows like a truck. The all wheel drive system is great and maintenance is very inexpensive
