Driver's side airbags were an option midway through the 1992 model year and became standard in 1993. The USA-spec included the passive restraints (motorized seat belts) through the 1994 model year with exception to the right hand drive Postal model which was only available with conventional seat belts. Options included 4-channel ABS, licensed from Bosch and air suspension height control, which lowered the vehicle at speeds above 50 mph (80.5 km/h), and also allowed the driver to increase the vehicle's ground clearance for off-road conditions. The Legacy began with a 5-door wagon or 4-door sedan body styles with FWD and an optional full-time AWD package. The Legacy also introduced an entirely new flat-4 engine series, called the Subaru EJ engine, which was quieter and more powerful than the previous Subaru EA engine. The Legacy broke with many Subaru traditions, such as no longer locating the spare tire in the engine compartment, behind the engine and above the transmission, a tradition started with the 1966 Subaru 1000. Subaru had earned a reputation of building vehicles that were regarded as quirky and other Asian manufacturers were bringing more upscale and conventional appearing models to the market.

For less than $1500 you can have these reliably making 305hp and 330ft.lbs at the flywheel. mechanically it is the same AWD system as the WRX and uses the same turbo but with the STI block. A similarly equipped Impreza with 55k of the same age would have been 3/4 grand more. For some odd reason Legacys don't hold their value as well as Imprezas so I got this 250hp 2.5GT with 55,100kms on it for $10,100+tax/fees from Subaru of Moncton. It gets lots of looks, has a perfect record for reliability and handles great. I have since lowered it and put new 18" sparco wheels on it. I even won my second local rally-cross event in this ca. It can get ~25mpgs if you keep your foot out of it but I usually get around 18 which isn't great but the AWD is incredible in the winter. I have tuned it to Stage 1 currently and have timed it to 60mph in 5.0 seconds.
