The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Re-engineered for improved performance, refinement and safety.
By John Rettie, NewCarTestDrive.com
If you live in an area of the country with weather conditions that include snow or lots of rain -- and you enjoy driving -- then take a test drive in the Subaru Legacy. Whether you're a professional rally driver or not, you'll find you can travel more safely in bad conditions with Subaru's all-wheel drive than in cars that are front- or rear-wheel drive.There are really no disadvantages to driving an all-wheel-drive Subaru, so even for those of you who live in areas of the country that enjoy nice weather all year round the Legacy is still worthy of a look. With its stylish new design it's good enough to take you in style to the opera in the evening and safely transport you down a dusty lane the next day to a campsite. |
|
Overview:
|
Subaru has made a name for itself as a manufacturer of tough cars with a permanent all-wheel-drive system that makes them safer for highway use and great for light-duty off-road use. The company has introduced an all-new, third-generation line-up of Legacy sedans and wagons for model-year 2000. Among them is a new Legacy GT that offers handling capable of competing with many European sporty sedans. The Subaru Legacy GT might not have the aura of a BMW or Audi, but it is likely to turn more heads than many of the other compact sedans on the market.
