I always feel this is one of those less talked about cars in the market. I own this year for more than an year now and extremely happy with the performance. Subaru's AWD delivers when needed in snow driving conditions and I feel safe when coming to abrupt stops on icy roads.

Transmission tanked after 8yrs

Extremely disappointed with my 2012 legacy. Did all of the scheduled maintenance, purchased brand new. Car lasted 155k miles before transmission issue. Was going to cost 8k to fix, worth more than car. Apparently transmission is an issue with 2010-2014 legacy.

Torque converter needs replacement @ 130k miles

Why would anyone buy a automatic transmission these days if your just going to need a new torque converter at a 130,00 miles. Better off buying a manual. Absolute B.S. nice job Subaru 🤬

Loving Legacy

I purchased a 2012 Red Subaru Legacy from Onion Creek Volkswagen in Austin, TX on August 8,2014. I feel in love with the All-wheel drive boxer engine of the Subaru. I also love the package that included the sunroof and power seats with Lumbar support. I do have to say the lumbar support can use more work. I drive 30 mile to work every day. When I get to work and get out the car, I have a pain in my lower back. The hands free blue tooth unit is extremely difficult to set up. I also wish that the Legacy had the same ground clearance as the Outback. I feel that I will be happy with my 2012 Subaru Legacy for years to come.
