@mekkaokereke @juneb I bought my now 30-year-old Legacy back when it was six years old based on how well a similar model Legacy work vehicle I had been using behaved on gravel roads. Haven't regretted it at all - the only way it could be improved is to have been fitted with manual window winders as well as electric ones.
As for its carrying capacity... it's amazing what a furniture salesman can do if told that they'll sell a big dining table if they can get it into the back of a car...
