This is our 3rd Subaru. The interior is rich in quality. I have test driven Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, Audi, and I keep coming back to the Legacy. Awesome performance, comfort, and handling. The cabin is much quieter than my wife's 09 Legacy Limited due to the new window design. I also liked the fact that they made the folding side mirrors for the 2011. I've gotten good comments on the satin white exterior color of the vehicle. High quality paint. Highly suggest people to test drive this vehicle prior to purchasing other sedans in the market.

Put 500 miles on the Subaru Legacy since my 10/9/10 posting. The upgraded Continental tires didn't help. I like the interior a lot, great seating position and the engine is very nice. Sadly for me, the steering wheel vibration is still there and EVERY road imperfection on ALL surfaces travels through the car. In summary, the worst handling, riding and cornering car I have ever owned by a wide margin. For the record, I have owned a lot of cars in my life. The dealer has been nice and claims they can fix it, but I don't believe it. Subaru knows they have a problem with the Legacy, but they are still making them with the problem and shipping parts to their dealers to fix them

2011 Subaru Legacy Drivers Side Window Malfunction

We ordered this car October 2010 and it was delivered November 2010. Within the first couple of weeks (December 2010), the drivers side electric window, began to malfunction. 1. Window (inside door panel) would make a "ping" "clunk" sound, and engine idle is affected. 2. When drivers window is down, on occasion the window cannot be made to roll itself back up without multiple attempts, but always does roll up. (2-12 attempts). 3. The drivers window will on occasion roll down completely on it's own. On one occasion the window has done this when it was only partly up. Usually when driving and window all the way up. New switch and then motor did not solve problem.

This is the first car I had bought on my own, & I couldn't ask for a better, safer, affordable, & reliable car.

Recently purchased a used 2011 Subaru Legacy. It is appearing to be a "lemon". The "Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light" came on during a test drive. In hindsight, I should have walked away then. It was "fixed". Then brake lights weren't working, after I'd written the check. That was taken care of. Both headlights had to be replaced already a little after 3 months. After an oil change, done at the local dealership, I am dumping a quart of oil a week into it and it is "missing" when accelerating. A number of dash warning lights came on. An independent mechanic found six failure codes including one with the engine control module. I think it's time to get rid of this care before it nickels and dimes me to death. Very disappointed!
