2010 Legacy Nice Car

I purchased the car new and have over 40K miles on it. Great gas milage especially on the hwy going 70-80 mph. - Averages 34 mi/gal. The ride is smooth both in the city and hwy. Very peppy. I have the upgraded radio which is nice. No problems at all. The car is very light but I feel safe. Great handling - almost impossible to loose control. It's a great car I plan to put alot of miles on. Love the paddle shifters on the steering column - I downshift alot instead of using brakes. Lots of trunk space. I use full synthetic oil and change it every 10K miles. I recommend this for a commuter car and have 2 boys 9 & 5. Very good for my lifestyle and budget.

Great Car for Tall Commuter in the Snow

This car is perfect for a taller person who commutes in a snowy environment. This car gets good gas mileage (28mph at 75mpg on highway) considering it's AWD - which I like to have in Vermont. If you don't need the AWD you can do much better (toyota camry hybrid). Also, the handling is average. But for someone with my specific needs, this car is just perfect.

Updating my review. They still are horrible... I'm a 63 year old grandmother. I bought a Subaru and it had consistent problems. The eletrical wires needed to be replaced with no success. The AC was leaking. Water in the interior of the car. A break pad even feel out of the car. And after 8 years of easy driving and regular maintenance. The engine is totalled. An 8 year old car and it's no better then scrap metal. Subaru offered $1,000 discount towards a new subrau. Who would ever buy another car from this company after what my mother went through. Subarus are PoS never buy a Subaru unless. You want to throw your money away.

Hunk of Junk / ZERO LOVE

These cars were put together with junk CVT transmissions. Transmissions were so bad that even Subaru acknowledged their mistake and replaced a lot of them with just another junk CVT transmission. They also put an extended warranty on those they didn't replace right away such as mine. But because the previous owner did not act on the offer from Subaru, now I'm stuck with this pile of junk. Called Subaru.. They say yes it is junk but our offer expired. WOW Oh by the way, all of you legacy owners that experienced the drive line shutter/vibration at speeds over 50mph ?? Yup, that to was the CVT transmission. That came from a very reputable Subaru service manager near me but because he was honest and upfront about it, Im not going to throw him under the bus. I just know now after giving Subaru a 2nd chance (my 1st one was a Forester that I was constantly chasing oil leaks on) that I would never look at another Subaru ever. They are a wanna-be high quality Japanese car company that can't even come close and have failed customers in so many ways. Would give zero stars if I could. How many Toyotas have had years of faulty head gaskets before a correction was made ? None. How many Toyotas have to go in for an "Oil consumption test" ? None Don't do it, don't by a Subaru. You will be sorry.

Dealerships issues

I like my Subaru Legacy. I have previously owned a Toyota Camry and this vehicle drives similar. However, the dealership here in Little Rock (Not where I purchased the vehicle) has made it very difficult to get the car serviced. No shuttle service, hours 7:30 - 5:30 M-F. If I had to do it again, I would purchase another Camry because of the service department convenience. Might be a nice vehicle to own but not easy to maintain - especially with 2 recalls already.
