One small disappointment: Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are available only with AWD as part of a $3000 safety package that also includes 4-wheel disc brakes and cruise control.
This package is standard equipment in all but the basic Legacy Wagon, however. We agree with Subaru that AWD is an active safety feature, and this has always been a Subaru strong suit.
For '95, Subaru is capitalizing on the Legacy's station wagon appeal by offering no fewer than six variations. There are four regular Legacy model options - base, L, LS and LSi - and three special packages with AWD as an integral feature.
The package deals include the Legacy Brighton Wagon aimed at budget-minded buyers who want the extra traction of AWD, the Legacy Outback for buyers whose get-away-from-it-all lifestyles include occasionally getting away from pavement, and the Postal Wagon that features a right-hand driving position for rural letter carriers.
Our test vehicle was the midlevel Legacy LS Wagon, which included the AWD/ABS package in its base price, as well as a truly impressive array of comfort and convenience features. Next Page
