The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) OUTBACK 5DR SW 2.5I S AUTO4 is a spacious, five-door estate with a tougher, raised-up feel than an ordinary family wagon. In the UK it sits between a conventional estate and an SUV, offering useful practicality without the bulk of many modern off-road-style cars and leisure vehicles. Mycarcheck.com records 27 checks across 12 distinct VINs for this older model. Checked cars averaged £900 in private-sale value, 103,000 miles and about 5,000 miles annually; keeper history averaged just under three previous keepers. Mileage, price and keeper counts vary, so check the specific car’s history and condition before buying. With its automatic gearbox and sure-footed all-wheel drive, it suits families, rural drivers and anyone wanting an all-weather load carrier. Its roomy cabin and estate boot make trips and everyday errands easy. Unlike compact SUVs, the Outback feels more like a road-going estate, with extra grip and a practical character.
