Hi all,

A friend of mine is looking at Legacy's. 2007 / 2008 circa £3k - £4k
2.0 N/A Automatic REn - What does REn even mean?

110k miles and 130k miles.
Are they pretty good cars generally, I guess it depends on the life / how well looked after etc of course - this kinda makes me an askhole I know.
But are they a car to generally avoid of that age?
Do they suffer from particular prone things?

Ren was the higher equipment model, possibly leather, sunroof, heated seats etc. The rear bush on the front control arm can wear quickly, but n/a are pretty bombproof

Models ranged from R, to RE and the n denotes nav so had the sat nav screen on the dash between the air vents.

Have driven a friends 07 2.0R but it’s a manual. It has done 100k but drives pretty well. It is ok but if used to the power of an Impreza with a turbo they are a little gutless, and much softer in terms of ride and the front end does feel a little like a nodding dog which I have heard mentioned about some Subarus. Front drop links knock a little.

I have recently bought a WR limited, which is a jdm legacy gt spec b with a few bells and whistles. 2 litre twin scroll 260-280bhp, 5 speed auto tiptronic, bilstien dampers. Mine is a 54 plate (only made the wr limited in 04/05) with 58k miles. It is a cracking car that has none of the negatives I’ve mentioned about the 2.0R I’ve driven.
