Jenk2k Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hey guys. Just bought a 2016 Legacy with 11k miles many years of owning hondas. I really wanted a comfortable sedan with AWD for the northwest. 1. The engine has some very light rattles that happen when I first fire it up. It's not smooth as butter like a honda. Within a few seconds the very subtle rattly noise goes away. Is this a characteristic? (i've seen the carfax and oil changes and have no reason to think it was dogged out.) 2. When idling and the A/C comes on. The engine is slightly wobbly. Is this a characteristic of the boxer engine design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
