Don't leave the key in the ignition with the headlights on and the motor not running. They turn off only when the key is removed. If you turn the overhead map light on while looking for something remember to turn it off before you exit the car. I have experienced 3 dead batteries. 8 1/2 years of operation coming up on 90K miles. No issues. Car seems to be related to a cross between a timeX watch and the energizer bunny. Update. Additional dead battery, Going on 11 years and no maniacal problems. Low miles many many starts and a lot of sitting with the engine running.

Between the Infiniti G37, Audi A4, Ford Fusion and Lexus IS250, I decided that the Subaru Legacy 3.6 Limited was the best AWD value. I have to parallel park this car often, so the relatively short length was important. Speaking of which, it's EASY to park this car, especially with the backup camera and the general visibility overall. I drove the 2.5 four cylinder and then the 3.6 six and it's like 2 different cars. The Boxer 6 is smooth, quiet and effortless. I prefer the conventional 5 spd automatic that comes with the six cylinder, even with the small trade-off in fuel economy. The leather seating is awesome and the drive is secure and peaceful. There's some highway wander over 70mph.
The most RELIABLE CAR, EVER!

I drive many miles DAILY, long and hard drives yet this car is going strong at 159k thus far. She has not had any problems. She always gets me from point A to point B. I also live in northern MN, so lots of snow and frigid temps...this car gets through snow VERY nicely and ALWAYS starts--even in -20 F. Dependable, and pretty good MPG! I love my '12 Subaru Legacy and will always speak highly.

Brilliant car ..very roomy and great on the road . Only problem I have had is when it freezes . Engine check light comes on ..cruise control flashes .. awd fails and park assist won't work. Luckily I sussed out how to fix it and now just have to do the fix 2 or 3 times every winter .
