Recently got a 2006 Legacy 3.0 Auto as the family wagon. 94000 miles, appears in good condition considering. Decent service history although it's not seen a main dealer for 3 years & 25000 miles, wondering whether to take it in for an OEM health check - planning to keep it a while, want to look after it. Put 4 new Avons on it a week after purchase, they feel great vs the odd front-rear pairs that were on it before.
Engine sounds & feels OK. Gearbox smooth, although it readily drops a gear to accelerate gently on motorway when I'd be happy for it to stay in 5th - is this normal? Drivers electric window switch feels worn out. Nothing else to report yet.
All advice appreciated, especially pitfalls to look out for & recommended maintenance.
It's my 4th Subaru, but first time for a 10 year old example. All 3 others have been brilliant with no problems at all, not even a light bulb.
