2000 subaru legacy review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Re-engineered for improved performance, refinement and safety. introductionsubaru has made a name for itself as a manufacturer of tough cars with a permanent all-wheel-drive system that makes them safer for highway use and great for light-duty off-road use. The subaru legacy gt might not have the aura of a bmw or audi, but it is likely to turn more heads than many of the other compact sedans on the market. lineupthe 2000 legacy lineup consists of three sedan and three station wagon models. (although it is still based on the legacy, the outback is now being sold as a separate model line.) legacy sedan models include the: $19,195 l, $22,795 gt and $24,295 gt limited. Gt limited models get side-impact airbags, leather upholstery and a cd player. We drove the legacy gt limited. walkaroundsubaru's designers have come up with an attractive new design that lets it look at home among its european competitors. From behind, it's possible to mistake this model for a bmw 3 series. a high trunk line lends a distinctive look, aids aerodynamics and increases cargo capacity. The profile tapers down from rear to front. A low hoodline gives the car a wedge-shaped stance. The cabin is relatively long with decent-sized doors and a fairly low belt line. Simple cladding along the middle of the doors and along the sills adds character to the lines of the car. The front of the car features a big grille and large headlights that fit flush with the bodywork. the new legacy is slightly longer and wider than the previous model. station wagons are the most popular legacy models sold in the u. However, as with many modern station wagons, there is little difference between the sedan and station wagon variations other than capacity and looks. This is certainly true with the legacy for 2000. interiorthe interior of the legacy has been substantially redesigned for 2000 with a much tighter cockpit environment for the driver. The positive aspect of this design is that switches and controls are all within easy reach of the driver, so stretching is not necessary. The disadvantage is that there is not a lot of knee room for drivers with short legs. They are well shaded, which makes them easy to read in all lighting conditions. The dash is covered in a nice black and gray plastic trim with a heavy grain finish. The limited model has imitation wood paneling as well. the climate and radio controls fall to hand conveniently in the center. The limited models we drove included a six-cd player with the changer built into the dashboard. The sound system worked well, as did the climate control. apart from the slightly cramped cockpit feel for some drivers there was plenty of leg- and headroom in the front. Rear-seat passengers will be pleasantly surprised by the legacy's generous legroom, which is better than many cars in its class. Headroom in the rear is adequate for those shorter than 6 feet tall. The moonroof, which is standard on high-line models, takes away about 1 inch of headroom. there is a pass-through hole from the trunk behind the arm rest in the center of the back seat but the rear seats do not fold down. driving impressionthe first thing one notices about the legacy gt is its handling. Instead it has a refined smooth feeling of sure-footedness. This makes the car easier to control on dry pavement and is especially helpful when the road surface is slippery. Acceleration performance suffers somewhat with the optional automatic. It is transparent to the driver, which is as it should be.
