Hi Rusty,
Personally I would opt for a Legacy over a Legnum, however the vast majority of my experience of Legacy V Surf was based on UK experience and I don’t have much experience of the Legnum/Galant or Mitsubishi in general come to that.
Mitsubishi are (like most Japanese cars) ridiculously reliable, however other than on a quick test drive, I don’t think I’ve ever driven a Legnum, so I don’t really feel qualified to comment. If one comes in at work in the next few days with some problem and everyone says to me ‘yeh they always do that’ I’ll let you know.
They seem really popular here and I must say I haven’t heard any horror stories; they might have a little more street cred, while the Legacy by comparison might be a little utilitarian. I think people with families who are still hoons at heart tend to opt for the VR4 round these parts, so I totally understand why you wouldn’t want one.
Sorry I can't help more.
Best Wishes
James
