The 2002 Subaru Legacy hails from the vehicle's third generation, which was known for combining a sporty handling with the rugged reliability that Subaru is renowned for. The vehicle has a standard 2.5L four-cylinder engine that puts out 165 horsepower, and pairs this with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. All Legacy models come with Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive. Three trims were available: Brighton, L and GT; the top-tier GT version offers enhanced performance and refinement. Safety features include dual front airbags, side-impact airbags, and an anti-lock braking system. The Legacy may not offer the most impressive technology in the cabin, but its AM/FM/CD sound system and convenient power amenities make for a comfortable ride. Notable changes for the 2002 model year include a redesigned front and rear for increased style and aerodynamics.
