Subaru Legacy 2003-2009

The Subaru Legacy is one of the latest models to hit the Egyptian market after the Impreza. Like the rest of the company's vehicles, this car features a four-wheel drive system, offering a great deal of comfort and driving enjoyment. It also features an aerodynamic design that reduces air friction, significantly reducing fuel consumption.

The car was first introduced in 1989 and continues to be offered globally to this day. It is assembled at the Subaru plant in Japan, in addition to another factory in the United States. It is a mid-size car and is considered the company's flagship sedan. It is available with Subaru's traditional boxer engines and carries several names worldwide, such as Liberty in the Australian market.

The car in question is from the fourth generation of the Legacy, which was introduced between 2003 and 2009. The car was introduced to the world in 2004 and won the title of Car of the Year in Japan for 2003-2004. It outperformed the Toyota Prius and Mazda RX-8. The car was updated in 2006 to be larger than before, and received design updates with more modern touches.

The car features an advanced 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine with multi-point electronic fuel injection, producing 165 hp at 5,800 rpm and 187 Nm of torque at 3,200 rpm.

The car also uses an advanced exhaust system to maximize engine performance and deliver more torque while reducing engine noise. The car is equipped with a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission known as E4AT. This system provides direct control for improved fuel consumption and better response distribution.

The transmission also automatically selects neutral when the brakes are pressed for a certain period of time to preserve transmission components, reduce vibration, and increase fuel efficiency. The car has a 64-liter fuel tank and weighs 1,480 kg. This four-door sedan achieves a combined fuel consumption rate of 5.8 liters per 100 km, a top speed of 201 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h. In 9 seconds. The car's main drawback is its high fuel consumption due to its large 2000cc engine.

Everything inside the car's cabin has been carefully designed, starting with the steering wheel, which connects to all cabin and main vehicle functions, making them easy to access without distracting the driver. The cabin has a sporty feel, evident in the seats that prevent passengers from sliding forward during sudden stops, along with a cup holder. The center console also features an elegant and attractive cell phone compartment. This metal center console faces the driver, emphasizing the car's sporty character. The red illumination on the car's gauges provides better visibility.

The car's cabin is characterized by luxury, dignity, and harmonious colors. The Legacy's interior design is smooth, befitting the spacious interior. It is equipped with all the necessary equipment, such as a stereo and climate control system, with complete coordination of all internal devices, especially the fuel gauge.

Spare Parts

Spare parts are considered one of the car's drawbacks because they are not easy to find outside the dealership, and therefore they are scarcely available because the Legacy is not widely spread, and in general, Subaru cars are not widely spread, in addition to their prices being somewhat high.

Suspension

80%

The car features advanced suspension systems that maintain its stability on the road, coupled with a four-wheel drive system to provide greater comfort for the driver and passengers. Precise engineering studies were performed on the front and rear suspensions, which increased the effectiveness of the front and rear suspension systems. The vehicle's optimal weight plays a significant role in improving the suspension systems' performance and reducing road noise.

The car is also available with four-wheel drive, making it more stable and balanced on the road. The car features an independent MacPherson strut suspension with a stabilizer bar in the front, and a multi-link MacPherson strut suspension in the rear with coil springs and a stabilizer bar.

The suspension is stronger and more rigid, and the all-wheel drive (AWD) system features a locking center differential that divides engine power between the front and rear wheels. The use of aluminum and steel in the suspension reduces the car's weight, and the redesigned rear suspension reduces the effect of the center of gravity. The car's suspension is relatively soft, yet provides good stability. Its drawback is that it slumps under load and can rub against bumps or the road. However, the car moves with good stability on the road due to its four-wheel drive system and excellent suspension.

The Subaru Legacy is generally a good car, but it has not received its due in the Egyptian market, and therefore it suffers from difficulty in reselling it and the presence of a strong market for it, and therefore its resale price may not be good considering its scarcity. In addition, its large engine in a category that relies more on 1600 cc engines makes it not widespread and not widely accepted due to fuel consumption and high licensing fees and taxes.
