Subaru Legacy scores high in crash tests
   The 2000 Subaru Legacy received a “good” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in its most recent tests of inexpensive mid-size sedans. The 1999 Daewoo Leganza fared the worst of the seven vehicles tested the due to extensive damage to the occupant compartment and high injury measures on the crash test dummy.

The Pontiac Grand Am and Oldsmobile Alero also received a “poor” rating, while the Nissan Altima was rated “marginal.” The Mazda 626, Saturn LS, Chevrolet Malibu and Olds Cutlass Supreme were all given “acceptable” ratings.
