Re: Best year for 1st gen turbo legacy?

I have a October 1991 Leagcy Turbo, complete with Mk2 grill wings & headlamps but has the original Mk1 rear suspension.
The best version just finding one without damage or rust.
Keep driving & enjoy the Legacy whoosh.

Re: 1992 Legacy Sun Roof control box relay issue

Glad to learn mike-tracy you were successful with your sun roof, I've had the whole unit out twice now - 1st time to redo the seal then to attempt a repair.
I'm back to the emergency handle.
I think the ISUZU was marketed as Longhorn in some markets
