Issues: Shift Knob has some play (my mechanic does not thinkit is bad enough to replace the bushings, but I do have a new set of theparts), rear passenger door does not open from outside, parking brake leatherboot has a tear, top of center console has a small crack, front of the hood hassome dents (factory aluminum hood), rear fenders have been resprayed and paintdoes not match perfectly, passenger airbag has recall (took for recall once in2020, but has since been recalled again, Subaru will fix for free)

Mechanically the car is very strong as evidenced by the extensive recent maintenance.  All functions on the car work. The AC is cold, the engine pulls hard, and the car drives very smoothly.  Recently I have been using the car as a backup and it has not seen much milage and has been mostly sitting.  I also have other performance cars including an STi and I have had a hard time letting the Legacy go, but my wife says I must consolidate.  Great all-wheel performance car!
