Any car will blow the odd headlight bulb (no different from bulbs in your home). There are a few reasons why a car might blow bulbs more than it should;
1) Cheap bulbs or high wattage aftermarket bulbs that generate excessive heat..
2) Alternator overcharging causing excessive voltage
3) Battery in poor condition resulting in voltage fluctuations.
There's no reason why a well maintained Legacy should blow bulbs any more than the next car.
Likewise, catalytic converters and oxygen sensors should not cause any more trouble than any other car.
