This review may now jinks me, but my 2012 base model Subaru Legacy 2.5i has literally had zero problems. I have had 2 minor part recalls but not one breakdown in my 103k miles. The only things that have occurred with age is a small rattle that has developed when I accelerate at a very specific rate (not too fast, not too slow) and the seat cushion/lumbar support on the driver's side has lost it's loft. The passenger side seat cushion feels much better. Also worth noting, I am not an overly heavy individual (5' 10", 180) so I expect the cushion to hold up better than it has. But if a rattle and some seat cushion support loss is all I have to complain about, then that's pretty amazing! This is my first Subaru and I am beyond impressed.

Good Driving, Serious Flaws

Roomy interior - previous years couldn't fit a rear-facing infant carseat between driver's seat and second row - the 2012 can. Smooth ride. No engine temperature gauge. Just a "cold" and a "hot" light. Of course, by the time the "hot" light comes on you're screwed. A standard temperature gauge would give some warning as to gradually increasing engine temperature. Check engine light turns off traction control and emergency brake (and cruise control), so if you live on a hill and forget to tighten your gas cap...good luck parking. Turning off traction control is a major safety flaw.

I must say that this car has easy to operate functions and is very smooth on the road. It has very good acceleration and fun to drive. Very spacious, in fact 10/10! I picked the cloth interior for my 2.5i and it has heated seats. The handling is satisfying and the car itself is the best out of all the competition. It's almost exotic!
