Used 2005 Subaru Legacy Sedan Consumer Reviews
Subaru ups the ante!
Subaru has done its homework. Not only is this car attractive, it's also A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE. Driving the 5 sp Auto in manual mode was a thrilling experience. Amazing pick up, sticks to the road and hugs corners better than anything I've ever driven. Even at high speeds the 2.5GT held it's composure. There was little noise in the cabin, the steering was responsive and direct, and ride comfort was not compromised. If you have to have safety, high performance, a sleek exterior, well appointed interior with AWD and the fun to drive factor in one package, take a look at Subaru's 2.5GT Legacy.
Super-chouette!
This car is very sweet. Very fast, well composed, an excellent balance between rougher track handling and a typical sedan. It doesn't have the badge of the status models, but it still makes you feel good everything you step in. Interior is top notch and well laid out. Good materials and build quality. Exterior is very classy and looks like it'll be a timeless design. Few people notice, but those in the know all turn their heads - this is a serious sleeper car.
Best in Snow, fun in sun
A survived a 40 mile commute during this last Ohio winter because of this car. Excellent handling in ice and snow. Sport shifting down much safer then braking on ice. It is nice to have the automatic with the option to shift manual. Now that the sun is out the sun roof is open. I love down shifting and zooming up steep hills.
A Wonderfully balanced car!
I must say this is a car that does it all well. It is a very comfortable and quiet car, it is quite fast and handles well, it has AWD and should do very well in bad weather, and is reasonably priced. It can be very fun to drive or comfortable to cruise in. It even comes in wagon form if you need more space. There's not much more you could reasonably ask for in a car. You can have your cake and eat it too!
Great Value
Just purchased several days ago so here are my first impressions. It has a surprising amount of power for a four cylinder. The manual transmission feels easier to shift than the Impreza. The seats are very adjustable and comfortable. The stereo is pretty good for a factory unit with no upgrades. Mileage so far has been surprisingly good. The car is very smooth and handles great. Quiet ride even at highway speeds. The sound of the engine takes a little getting used to, but it grows on you. The trunk is pretty large and has a pass through for narrow objects. The car features a full assortment of airbags. In all, this is a great car with a lot of nice features for a reasonable price.
