The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) OUTBACK 5DR SW 3.0 H6 AUTO4 is a roomy five-door estate with raised, outdoorsy styling, sitting between a conventional family wagon and an SUV in the UK used-car market. Its automatic gearbox and six-cylinder petrol engine make it a distinctive, comfort-minded alternative to more common estates. mycarcheck.com records 63 checks across 47 different VINs, offering a useful but modest snapshot. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £500 and average recorded mileage of 126,000 miles; average annual use is 3,000 miles, with about 3.5 previous keepers. These figures describe checked cars, not the entire market. Roomy and sure-footed, the Outback suits families, rural drivers and anyone seeking transport for trips or poor-weather roads. Its smooth 3.0-litre engine offers relaxed progress, but fuel costs can exceed those of smaller estates. Against Volvo Cross Country or Audi Allroad rivals, this Subaru blends estate comfort with adventurous character.
