I traded my 2011 Nissan in on the 2014 Legacy. My Nissan was horrible in the snow and I live on a very steep and dead end hill (that is hardly plowed or salted) in Pittsburgh. I never made it up the hill in my Nissan even a dusting I would be spinning and sliding. The first snow we had about 1" and it was somewhat icy and my Legacy went straight up it without a slide or spinning of a tire. I am so pleased with the performance in the snow so far. I do agree with a few of the comments above. I do feel a lot of the bumps and things whereas my Nissan I didn't. The driver and passenger seats to squeak some and that does drive me a little crazy. After it took my hill of a mountain I am not even concerned!! I would recommend the Subaru Legacy to anyone!!

VERY POOR HEATING AND COOLING

The heating and cooling systems in this car are so substandard as to make me regret buying this car, it is hot most of the year and the heat isn't adequate in the winter, especially in the lower compartment. The mileage is not what I hoped for, as I drive in stop and go traffic, but it is good if you do mainly highway driving. The noise level is also unacceptable. Clearly Subaru emphasizes the safety aspects of their cars, but the comfort aspects of the car, especially climate control and noise level, are really lacking. The design, inside and out, is lackluster. On the positive side, the brakes are excellent and the turning radius is great for city driving. The four wheel drive is excellent in snow and ice.

Stiff Ride negates positives.

I have driven this 2014 Legacy Sport for three months. The reliability of Subaru, all wheel drive and heated seats are all positives that are negated by the poor ride quality. I feel every dip, bump and tar strip in the road and will be trading this after a year. A younger driver might not care about the ride because the car looks sharp and handles well. I owned a 2001 Subaru Outback station wagon for 6 years and it was reliable and a comfortable ride with reasonable handling in not too large of a vehicle. If they built that vehicle today with an improved transmission I think they wood sell a lot of them. I appreciate any comments and criticism. November 19, 2016. After all this time Edmunds has requested that I update this review. I bought the Subaru in April of 2014. When winter and cold weather came around I found out that the heat when set to blow at floor level does not blow on your feet or ankles or legs so you freeze. Nothing worse than cold feet. The front seats were not well designed and even with power driver seat I could not get comfortable , and I take long trip every month from NYC to Massachusetts. The bumpy ride continued and I could not stand it, feeling it smack by backside on every little tar strip. In April of 2015 I traded this car with just over 9,000 miles on it, for a 2015 Nissan Rogue which I have had now for a year and seven months. Smooth ride especially on bumps and I don't feel the tar strips in the road. Very comfortable seats, heat blows on my legs, very large touch screen and navigation with back up camera as well as camera view of all four sides. Very happy with it. May 22, 2018. Edmunds asked me to update my review again. I stand by my original comments. I still own the 2015 Nissan Rogue SV -technology package, large screen Nav and all-around camera, smooth ride - that has just short of 40,000 miles on it. Far superior to the 2011 Subaru Forester, 2012 Subaru Outback, and the 2014 Legacy - all of which I purchased brand new and had harsh rides, uncomfortable seats, and a heating system that blow very loudly on high when you selected "floor mode" but no air came out around your feet or legs. The all wheel drive has worked well through three winters both upstate and downstate New York as well as on muddy dirt roads in the Catskills.

I bought my Legacy brand new with 21 miles, 3 years later And it has over 80k miles on it. I originally bought the car because in Colorado, it's important to have AWD. The car does great in the show and ice and I have no issues in that department. As for my moonroof though, within 2 months of owning my car I had to get the entire moonroof replaced due to significant leaking. I don't know if it's just my car, but it still leaks, not as bad, but it's gotten into the headliner and through the interior lights. Interior is fine, although I regret getting the tan cloth interior, I wish I would've upgraded to the V6 with leather and navigation. The ride could be smoother and the road noise is extremely noisy, which makes it hard to use the Bluetooth. I do, however, love the Eye-sight system with adaptive cruise control. I won't buy another Subaru again though.

Some things have grown & some have not

It is almost a greatest car. Road handling is great which is why I purchased the car. Interior layout is great. Controls are intuitive and well place. More gauges would be nice instead of the dummy lights. Three very fundamental flaws exist in the drivetrain. The car has grown is size & weight yet the engine has not. The engine can not hold the car going down a hill in any gear even fairly mild one. I think a 3 liter four cylinder would do a better job. Flaw two and three lie in the transmission. First gear is way too high. Parking lots are a clutch riding nite-mare as 7 mph is the slowest possible without the car jumping and bucking. Serious hills require 5000 rpm and long clutch riding to get started on. Chucking the 5th gear ratio and making a new first would solve this. Really, a reverse gear made for 45 mph! Still riding the clutch the car is doing 6 mph is reverse.
