It's an 05 subaru legacy... base model wagon.
The car looks great... I love it's styling, the interior is REALLY well finished very comfortable but sporty too.
but there are ALL sorts of quality control issues with it... lots of little things wrong and a couple big things...
And the dealership is full of morons.... I don't really HATE the car... but it pisses me off a LOT. There are WAY WAY too many fit/finish issues on it and a lot of other things that get on my nerves....
I bought it to have a nice reliable brand new car that ran smooth and didn't give me any trouble...
I should've gotten a honda. It idles poorly the O2 sensors were bad from the factory, a bunch of the trim and or other interior parts have either broken or don't work properly. And the whole underside already has more rust on it than my civic does.
So overall not too happy with the purchase. I kinda saw it coming though as I knew every little thing would piss me off about the car if I didn't get the turbo.
I'm not sure if they're crappy cars of if I got a lemon... If mines normal like the dealer says then they're definately crappy cars.
I've never owned a subaru before. So I don't know if they have lower standards or what... but it's basically the crappiest new car I've ever driven. and the dealership straight lies to me...
I asked if they checked the plugs when they changed the o2's since it was running rich as hell, first the dude is like... they're platnum they're fine... then he told the mechanic to tell me they checked them... which I don't believe because it's a HUGE pain to pull the plugs in these cars since the sparkplug holes line up just about perfect with the frame rail... So I'm pretty sure it envolves lowering the engine quite a bit to get access... which I just don't believe they did.
Anyway I'm gunna get the civic running and registered then I"m gunna drop the car off at the dealer and not pick it up till I"m satisfied.
P.S. I found a used tranny in good shape with 90k on it I may buy. I may just use it while I rebuild my own trans and then sell it again when I get mine rebuilt... that or keep it as a spare, maybe build it over time.
