Subaru Legacy is mainly an all-wheel-drive model, with a few front-wheel-drive variants available from 1989 – 1994 model years.

The all-wheel drive of Subaru Legacy ensures the car performs well in all weather conditions, including snow.

Despite the brand’s strong reputation for reliability, Subaru Legacy owners report some major common gearbox (in recent models) and engine issues.
