The Legacy wagon joins the Legacy sedan and the Outback
to complete Subaru's best-selling line of vehicles. What
all of these models share is the precise handling of all-wheel
drive, a thorough set of safety features and an overall
build quality that is second to none. The Legacy wagon is
a car with the right set of characteristics for families,
including roominess and comfort, as well as all the aforementioned
qualities for which Subaru is so well known.
Available Models
The 2003 Subaru Legacy wagon is offered in three trim levels:
L, L Special Edition and GT. The Legacy sedan is covered
in a separate review.
Interior Features
The Legacy wagon has four doors and seats five passengers.
Space is generously managed inside the 2003 Subaru Legacy
wagon, providing families with plenty of seating and storage
options. Up front, the wagon has over 40 inches of head
and legroom, while the rear has slightly less. In addition,
the total cargo volume for the Legacy wagon is 68.6 cubic
ft.
The standard features on the base L model cover all the
basic needs for a vehicle and then some. Air conditioning,
AM/FM stereo with CD player, cruise control, a split folding
rear seat and power windows are just some of the many appointments
on the inside. The L Special Edition adds a power sunroof
and other features, while the top-line GT offers leather
upholstery, heated front seats, heated power mirrors, an
AM/FM/weatherband radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer and
more. The options list is long and varied, addressing listening
pleasure, performance and convenience.
Exterior Features
The 2003 Subaru Legacy wagon has dual power fold-away mirrors,
roof rails, a rear defogger with a timer and daytime running
lights. The L Special Edition has dual power sunroofs and
all-season tires.
Performance
The Legacy wagon shares the same engine with the sedan.
It is a horizontally opposed 2.5-liter model capable of
165 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 166 lb-ft. of torque at 4000
rpm. The Legacy wagon's suspension system is fully independent,
featuring front struts with lower L-arms and liquid-filled
rear bushings and a stabilizer bar. The rear is a multi-link
system with a stabilizer bar.
Like the sedan, the wagon has rack-and-pinion steering
with engine-speed-sensing variable power assist. Customers
can choose between 4-speed automatic transmission and 5-speed
manual transmission.
Safety and Security
For safety, the 2003 Legacy wagon has all-wheel drive, dual
front airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, daytime running
lights and an emergency inside trunk release. The GT trim
adds front side airbags, while a security system upgrade
kit is available with all models.
