Evanism Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I just bought an 04 legacy. I've been hearing about a few problems with these models and would like to know what folks have had trouble with. My only problem was that mine was delivered with a bad O2 sensor, and was back at the dealer the second day I had it. I do enjoy the car and hope it remains more trouble-free than my last car, a 96 Mystique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benebob Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Non-working cd changer from new, Bad 3rd gear (stick) from new, Steering wheel not aligned properly from new, Pass side mirror had the black plastic coating come off, Doesn't like reverse 50% of the time. Orange peel Poor fit and finish Paint doesn't match on plastic That's about all I can come up with for the first 4.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 '03 H6 OBW Annoyingly harsh downshifting at high speeds wind noise that's all so far (more details here; http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=791 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxersOnly Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 '04 WRX Wagon 3(!) new O2 sensors (yes, one was replaced twice). Rear window seal acts as a water reservoir (Doens't leak into the car though) Intermittend shudder when getting off the gas when at high boost. But I absolutely love the car, dealer has been really good on fixing the issues (so far). Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrickjd9 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 No mechanical or other problems yet, about 4500 miles. Fuel mileage is mildly disappointing, 22.5 mpg last tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
