The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 3.0 R AUTO4 is a spacious five-door estate, rather than an SUV or hatchback. It sits in the older, less common end of the UK used-car market, offering family-friendly load space and a more distinctive alternative to mainstream estates such as the Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra. Its 3.0-litre petrol engine, automatic gearbox and Subaru’s sure-footed four-wheel drive make it appealing for relaxed long journeys and changing weather. It suits families needing a practical boot, or drivers wanting comfort and confident road manners, though fuel costs are likely higher than smaller, more economical estate rivals. mycarcheck.com has recorded 22 look-ups across 17 different VINs: a useful snapshot, though still a modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £500, 136,000 miles and about four previous keepers; average annual use is just 4,000 miles, suggesting relatively light recent driving for this older estate.
