Warranty Issues!

2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited 4dr Sedan AWD w/Navi (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5A)

The car performs as expected and I am generally pleased, but as soon as you have a warranty issue Subaru of America will look to weasel out. They immediately demand copies of receipts for oil changes and say that all turbo engines must be serviced as shown under severe service conditions regardless of how you drive. This is an obvious contraction to what the service manual states. An extended service contract is a must for the turbo, but still be prepared to duke it out when you try to use it! Research Subaru forums on warranty issues and read about all of the people getting jerked around. Consider with the added cost of the service contract, other awd makes might be a better purchase.
Great car with one big issue

I've owned a couple of Subarus in the past few years and they've all been great cars. My 07 Legacy GT is just as good in many ways. I love this car, but after reading the other reviews I thought the issue of the "dip" / hesitation / stutter needs to be mentioned. Before you buy a new or used Legacy GT with the 2.5L turbo engine, be sure to take a thorough test drive and make sure you don't have the same issue many owners of the 2005 - 2008 MY Legacy GT experience. If you notice a very pronounced engine hesitation or bucking while accelerating between 3-4K RPMs, move on and find another Legacy GT. So far Subaru has not been able to fix this issue and I have just filed a lemon law claim.

2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Special Edition 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)

I've had this car a year now, and like all cars it has is good and bad points. Good things are the engine has a lot of pep for a non-turbo 4-cyl, and it grips the road nicely. Winter driving is great. Good ergonomics. good front passenger room. Some bad things i found was that the plastic seems cheap. It makes noises from cold weather. And the plastic scratches easily. The passenger compartment could be bigger. heated rear view mirrors should be standard, I never had icing up problems on any of my other vehicles as much as this one.
Legacy at Head of Class

I wanted a mid-size sports sedan, and Legacy really stands out. Nothing under $21 K compared to it. I think engineering, not marketing is behind the Legacy. The 2.5 boxer engine runs smooth and provides plenty of power. AWD adds a whole lot to road performance (although it lowers fuel economy a bit). Interior is first class; no cheap material or gimmicks. Same outside; nice clean styling. Subaru says 95% of all its cars sold in the last ten years are still on the road. I tend to keep cars, so I'm guessing mine will be, too, and still look good.

For starters i drive a 2.5i SE this car was almost fully loaded, the cars gas mileage was less then what i had expected but vary reliable at my security job witch i drive over 150miles a night, only now having to deal with upkeep after owning it for one year (tires breaks ext...) never missed a single oil change and beats good at 150k. has a little lag to when you hit the gas if your not in semi manual mode. horrible grip on ice but grips alright on snow and rain, i would slow down accordingly to traffic. seats arnt the most comfy in the world but for someone who doesn't slouch in there chair its really comfortable. steering wheel could have had more up and down adjustments to it. vehicle is well made although has some throttle issues on idle from the ac/heater unit that may not even be an issue more or less a nuisance if you don't like your car making sounds. Car definitely has a personality of its own, it will tell you if you ever get low on oil just by how it idles. i have caught the oil low two times now from idle and have yet to see the oil light on except for when doing oil changes. Definitely not a race car and Definitely not a toy, leave that to cheaper modified cars. minor issue would be on dash where the material they used is easily rubbed to skin and bone but easily replaced. Moon roof never leaks and really ease to work on. Finally for the ricers, yes they do have tailfins and a tow bar please dont modify it, it looks bad.
