Beware the Seats

Ive had my Legacy Premium 2.5 less than a week and am already ready to get rid of it. Ive never had a backache in my entire life yet after a week of driving the car, about 270 miles, my back is so painful that Im about crippled. I cringe at the thought of having to get back into this vehicle. My car has the adjustable lumbar support and even when it is completely deflated, after about 20 minutes it feels like somebody has their knees in my back. My advice to anyone considering a Legacy is to drive, or at least sit, in the car for a minimum of 30 minutes before you make your decision to buy this car. I didnt and fear I have just made a $25,000 mistake.

I bought my car pre owned 2 years and after driving only 30,000 miles I had to pay $4000 in for a torque converter, egr valve, and timing belt. I was not covered by the warranty of the torque converter because my car was a little bit over 100k miles. Subaru should cover for this part because it is a defect on there cars! I'm not sure if I will ever buy one again because of this experience.

Death by Subaru vs. Contributory Negligence Laws

2010 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

In November 2014 our adult son left the house for his 20-minute commute to work in his 2010 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited Sedan. It was clear, cool and dry that morning. According to an eyewitness, the car roared down the street at a speed of some 50 mph sounding like a garbage truck. In less than 400 feet and about six seconds, the Legacy veered over a neighbors curb, pivoted and hit a tree at 45 mph (per Police Department). We assume this was his attempt to slow and stop the runaway vehicle without killing or injuring anyone. Regrettably, our son died the following week as a direct result of this unintended acceleration incident.
Lots of Room and Lots of Fun

I have never owned a Subaru and never thought much about them but I stumbled upon this model after re-reading an older preview in Car and Driver. I went for the test drive and loved the car. There was plenty of room for 3 kids in the back seat and the wife liked everything about the car also. Big trunk, lots of headroom (I'm 6'5"), and fun to drive. It's hard to find a manual transmission these days but this has it and rowing your own is my preference. The car is very quick and there is little noise except from the tires which I can live with (and get some quieter ones when these wear out). Can't go wrong with this car.
Great All-Wheel-Drive, but weak a/c

The Good: All Wheel Drive provides extra grip - Great gas mileage (average 27 mpg) - Large interior (good rear leg room) - Comfortable driving position - Nice styling interior & exterior - CVT provides less to no jerking - Smooth riding vehicle - Quiet (easy to carry on a conversation) - All Gauges conveniently located The Bad: Touchy sport steering at highway speeds - Wind pushes the vehicle around more than expected at highway speeds - A/C ducts blow in face (center ducts not flush but beside radio, no way to direct straight back) The Ugly - A/C unit does not cool vehicle I have also had to return my Legacy back to the dealer 4-times for A/C problems.
