Great car

2024 Subaru Legacy Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
I've had my Legacy for about 2 months and driven a little over 2,000 miles of mixed driving (a little more in the city) and averaging 29.2 mpg. I'm very happy with this car. I can't believe how quiet and smooth it rides, yet handling doesn't suffer. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever had in a car. I read a number of reviews stating that the base 2.5 engine is only adequate, I … disagree. Sure it's not a sports car, but I really don't think it would be worth the extra money, and lower gas mileage to get the turbo. I also like the CVT. It just does the job, smooth and quiet. This is my first all wheel drive car and I love how connected to the road it feels. I'm looking forward to driving it to Colorado to visit my sister and see how it handles the snow.
The only drawback is the sound system on the premium trim level. It sounds hollow. I solved this with some after market speakers for all 4 doors. When I removed the stock speakers I was amazed they sounded as good as they did, I've never seen such small magnets on speakers that size. Overall though, I really love this car and am happy with my purchase.
Update after 9,300 miles:
I am still very happy with my purchase. I'm averaging 30.2 mpg and have had no problems. I receive lots of compliments on how it looks, and my friends have trouble believing the price I paid. I took a long road trip to Colorado and really enjoyed the comfort and good fuel economy, and sound system once I replaced the factory speakers. I particularly like the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, they work very well and contributed to a relaxing drive. On my return to Texas I encountered a snow storm. I drove in the storm from Colorado Springs to Amarillo with no problems. I've never had an all wheel drive car before and was amazed at how secure it felt in the snow. The year before I made the same trip in my 2 wheel drive midsize truck and it was a very different experience. I've also grown to appreciate the CVT even more. It continues to be unobtrusive, working quietly and smoothly in the background. It's the smoothest and most comfortable car I've ever owned. Also like the infotainment system. I've seen complaints about the 11.6" screen in reviews on YouTube, but I like it. It's easy to use and it either updates automatically, or the dealer did it during my free oil change.
Mechanically there have been no problems. Subaru should mention the two years of free maintenance in their advertising, most comparisons make a point of saying it doesn't come with free maintenance. I check my oil with every fill up and it doesn't appear to have used a drop. Most reviews I've seen say it's sluggish or underpowered, I don't agree. Of course it's not a race car, but it's more than adequate for normal driving. I found an old Motor Trend from 1980, and looking at the 0-60 times my car should be able to outrun a 1980 Turbo Trans Am. If only I could travel in time.
In conclusion, I'm very happy with the 2024 Subaru Legacy Premium, it's served my needs perfectly and I would buy it again. I'm sad they're discontinuing the Legacy after 2025. I'll have to make this one last.
