Risky if you want a long lasting car

This car was a very good car at first I have a 2.5i limited. It drove good for a while then the transmission started to go bad. Eventually one day the car completely stopped that was the original transmission it is now on its 3rd transmission which failed it is in the garage collecting dust not sure if something makes the transmission go bad or the transmission is bad itself. Other than the problems it has brought me it was a great car while it lasted. The AWD was a good add especially in winter climates. The gas consumption was good the interior was my favorite part I love the spacious feeling and the leather in mine is very smooth and not stiff like other leather’s. It was a smaller car but they designed the car very well with a spacious cabin. But I would still rather go for a different car if you need long lasting mine lasted about a year even with the different transmissions don’t recommend without a warranty.

I've owned my 2011 Legacy since May 2011. It has exceeded my expectations. It's much peppier then the numbers suggest and I get great mileage. It get compliments on the exterior all the time, with everyone assuming the car is much more expensive. I sold the owner of a restaurant I have been going to for over 12 years a 2012 Legacy based on the looks and positive feedback on mine. The car handles great and is very stable and smooth at highway speeds. Amazing in wet weather. The interior is modern, but clean, and has loads of space. Plus, with the standard AWD, it drives much more solid then any Honda, Toyota, Nissan... I've had 6 Subarus and counting. Drive one and you will see why.

This is my second Legacy. I previously owned a 2008 2.5i Limited. This is a great car! Powerful, quiet, stunning, roomy... the list could go on and on! My 6' friends fit easily in the back. The Satin White Peal paint is wonderful, and I usually don't like white cars. Transmission is very smooth (5-speed), and the 6-cylinder delivers more power than you could ever need. Can't wait for the first road trip! The "eco" gauge is dumb and doesn't make much sense.

Second Subaru, What a great design, interior room is like a caddy.First legacy had a 4 cylinder, all around good car, but the 6 cylinder is super. mileage is around 25 driving around NE part of the country(up and down). All components seem to have high quality and assembly is superb. Paddle shifters are kind of useless and get in the way of your hands if driving on long trip. Before purchasing looked at ford, chevy,and dodge. Subaru was a little more in price but quality surpasses the others.

After 500 wonderful miles, I can only say superlatives about this wonderful machine! I got mine with the moonroof & nav package. It rides great, got plenty of giddy-up when you need it, hugs the road, has an aggressive (but not overly so) exterior look and a very classy, roomy and upscale interior with all the features anyone could want or ask for.
