Fantastic car

Our old '02 Forester had too many issues suddenly, so my wife and I decided to go find a new car for her. We settled on the Legacy and couldn't be more pleased. Extremely comfortable, fun to drive, excellent mileage (sometimes well into the 30s on the highway), and tons of room inside. The CVT transmission is surprisingly very nice given some of the reviews I have read.

This is my first Subaru and it probably will not be my last. I am quite impressed with this vehicle. I went from a 2008 MKX to this and probably will not go back. Interior is impressive and compares to the luxury versions quite easily. The V6 isn't as fuel friendly as others but it packs one heck of punch when you hit that gas pedal.

Dealer said it would be go away after few 100 miles but still persistent. Roadforce balancing, and changing steering wheel part haven't fixed the shakes.

Nice car, but one issue

I bought it in January of 2011 and so far it's great. It is fun to drive, has lots of grip and feels a lot safe inside. Now the issue. When the car's engine is hot and as it move backwards with the AC on and no gas pedal applied, the engine vibrates a lot as if it's coming to stop, but at the next moment it comes back to normal.The engine sound also changes drastically when the car moves from idle in forward or reverse direction with the AC on. I've also noticed that when I'm idling at a traffic signal with the AC on, the engine is coming to a stop, but at the next moment it comes back to normal. There is no problem when the AC is not on and when the car attains speed with the AC on.

Just picked up my new GT today but wanted to give a quick review. GT's are very hard to find. I had to order it. 7 weeks later it came in. First of all let me say the car is extremely quiet. Also, the car has really good acceleration. The turbo is a blast to drive. There is also a ton of room in the car. I will write a follow up in a few months to give additional input. If you are looking for a family sedan that isn't an Accord or a Camry give it a try. I'm glad I did.
