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.
Very fun car to drive even without the turbo!
This car has very great handling and performance overall. Turns corners like a dream. If you like to drift, this car is GREAT. Also, comes with sports mode which is a blast and revs very fast and smoothly. I just wish I had the GT edition, but just know this car is actually alright speed. Subaru engine sounds sexy. Thinking about taking the muffler off. ;) ENGINE IS BULLETPROOF! Only complains I have: Stereo isn't the best quality and the foam on the doors/windows came loose and hung down, both of them, once. But some special glue worked great! If you want a wrx but can't afford the insurance or whatever, and need something more reliable, THIS IS YOUR CAR! Spoiler is sexy.

Surpasses the Acura Lemon I used to own
A fine car with only marginal drawbacks. The H4 engine has the smoothness of a 6-cylinder. City gas mileage for an AWD is respectable 23-24 mpg with A/C on. Remarkable stability of ride, excellent braking and handling. Comfortable seating. Good range of features in this model although such a car should include radio controls on steering wheel (one of my bigger complaints-if this were included car would compete quite well with so-called entry-level luxury models). Sound system is not the best when compared to other brands but overall adequate; satellite radio antenna is placed awkwardly but glad to have it just the same (along with ipod jack. I just enjoy being in this car.
Bitter sweet
I always love driving this car. The only draw back, and it is a major concern for me, is the driver's seat is unbearable. Within a few days of buying the car the problem became very apparent.This style is by far the best design that Subaru ever came up with for the Legacy. Understated good looks and nothing pretentious about it. Of course in typical Subaru fashion, the stereo is terrible, but in this price range there really is nothing that compares.
Kills Accord / Camry
Had a 96 Camry, traded for 04 Accord, now I'm in a Subie and in love. Negatives first - Being an outside sales rep, I need more places to put my wallet, sunglasses, phone, note pad etc. on long drives. My Accord had all of those things, but what it didn't have was the uniqueness and fun to drive characteristics that my new Legacy has. Also, rear seat width is a bit lacking. Can't put 2 adults and a child seat in the back comfortably (couldn't really in my Accord either, but it was more comfy). This car has gotta be the best performing fastest 4 cylinder engine out there! I do 30k miles per year, the last 6k have been the most fun. Oh, best of all I don't feel like just another guy in an Accord/Camry.
