Because the Legacy doesn't have the horsepower of the WRX, transmission problems aren't a concern unless you drive like...well...a WRX owner might. Any 00-04 is going to be an exceptionally good car, with no big faults other than that lack of power.

watch out for blown head gasket though. MY00 Legacy I had got a blown HG about 2000mi from 100K mi. Fortunately, Subaru had extended warranty on HG to 100k mi, so I was covered.

I believe the warranty and defect covers MY00 to mid MY02.
You should be able to dig up the bulltien somewhere on the forum about this.
Just make sure the car doesn't fall in the bulletin and HG issue.

I have an 01 Legacy GT. I have absolutely no complaints or regrets with buying this car. Well i have one complaint, they made the car way to slow, but other than that I love it. I live in northern jersey and sometimes winters get rough, I can always count on the Subee getting me where I need to go. I lwill say it again I love this car, but wouldnt mind getting my hands on a white '05
