1993 Subaru Legacy GT EH22 turbo VF10 from North America
Summary:
Subaru; safe, fast, amazing, I love it
Faults:
This is the best car I have ever had. I love this thing, it's a joy to own and it rides like it's on rails.
When I bought it, I took it for a 2 minute test drive and didn't really feel the car, but I bought it regardless.
After paying for it and registering it, the Check Engine light disappears, but comes on once in a blue moon. The ABS light came on once.
The CV boot makes a little noise and the sunroof leaks due to a "pipe blockage by leaves".
Anyways, I love this car regardless. It's a sleeper and quite zippy. Great handling, and for what it's worth, I would stand it up next to an AUDI or BMW Station wagon of its time.
Price of repairs is a joke compared to German cars, and buy tools DIY or find a good mechanic who doesn't rip off and knows what he/she is doing...
General Comments:
I really love my Subaru, superior quality, great craftsmanship.
The boxer engine, which is closed deck and bulletproof to boosting. Very tunable and modifiable to any spec.
This is a great daily driver or winter beater. With proper tires you can go where not many can.
Loves to chug gas a lot and it only drinks 94 octane.
It's pretty quick to accelerate, and the torque curve is generous to give it a 16 second stock qt. mile. An intake and exhaust with additional boost will bring this beast into 13s. Starts every time. 4wd transmission is great. I wish I had LSD in the rear. Star is the name of my Grey Subaru Legacy GT WAGON.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

You are so right about the Legacy and the turbo engine.
Just bought one few months ago with 76,000 miles.
Unbelievable car (Legacy Wagon AWD Turbo).
Is my second Subaru, and my first turbo engine Subaru.
Awesome cars, and very reliable.
I do own an 06 Honda S also.
If the Honda will be AWD and have the same weight, it will be much slower.
Love both.
Subaru rocks.
