Reliable and it hits most of the marks

I've had little trouble with my 2011 Subaru Legacy. Bought used in 2013, the car has proven reliable. The only area that seems lacking now is I need more cargo capability. On the inside, I ditched the factory head unit and replaced with an Kenwood unit so I could use CarPlay and not rely on just my phone's screen for viewing a navigation app. The driver's seat leather is frayed in one spot and needs replacing. The exterior is holding up well with no visible rust. the paint scratches easily. I like the car and have been pleased with my purchase.

Great car. I researched the heck out of this and this car has exceeded my expectations. I'm 6'3" and the the interior (esp. headroom) is amazing. 4,000 miles and not a squeak and the Limited interior and sound system result in a wonderful travel experience. I'm avg. right at 30.0 in overall mpg. May not be the quickest car, but more than adequate for me.

This is my first Subaru experience and so far its been a great ride. I was looking for a reliable AWD vehicle and this is it. I went with the manual trans because it allows me the option to up or down shift when I want. I have owned a few cars in the past with CVT I was not to impressed with that type of transmission. This car has excellent standard equipment also, above and beyond what you would find in any dodge, Chevy or ford. To sum it up, I'm very impressed.

This is our third Subaru purchase and I absolutely love it! We own a 2006 Tribeca and we traded in our 2006 Outback for the 2011 Legacy. With 2 small kids, I actually have more room in the legacy than I did in the Outback. It handles amazing, minimal road noise, and it looks fabulous. Subaru has me sold again! We will forever be a Subaru family.

This is my 3rd Subaru. My previous two; 2002 WRX, and 2007 WRX TR. I was looking at an STI. The Legacy's price changed my mind. While the 2.5i Legacy cannot compare to the outright rush of driving a WRX, the car is plenty peppy enough for daily driving. The handling is a pleasant surprise for a car this large (the largest I've owned). I expected buyers remorse to set in, but every time I drive it, I like it more. I haven't pushed it, because I'm still in the break in stage. The car has a solid, stable feel, and plenty of amenities. It is a grown-up car instead of a boy rocket. The CVT has grown on me. I rarely use the paddle shifters, mostly to save braking down long grades.
