Buy the 3.6, it is so much smoother and more powerful than the 2.4. 155000 miles

This review is for the 2.5i Limited model equipped with all OEM options, including EYESIGHT and NAV system. I have been leasing cars of this ilk, typically fully loaded, every 3 years. In addition I have test driven many others in an effort to help other people buy cars. My wife owns this Subaru, and it's clearly a winner with just a few reservations I'll get into below. I hope Subaru trolls these reviews. The car handles and rides very very well. Always a feeling solidity and composure. Steering is tight and right on target. Absolutely no complaints in any of these areas.

I've enjoyed the AWD of my 2015 Legacy. However, the seats (not leather) are not comfortable during a long ride and I can't play the radio without the engine running. Can't Subaru get a stronger battery? My number 1 complaint, its summer, I can't drive around town doing errands or short runs without the car barely starting or needing a jump, that's ridiculous! I was told by a Subaru mechanic I need to use a trickle charger. Somethings just not right. I hope I can get this rectified otherwise....I've never never had this problem with any other vehicle. Sad to say, this could be the first and last Subaru I own.

2007 Toyota Camry wins out 2015 Subaru Legacy

I have owned Subaru's for "utility use" for over 30 years (bicycles, sports equipment). After the kids left home, I purchased a used 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid sedan for travel comfort and added mileage. All the meanwhile missing the perks of an AWD vehicle. I tried to love my newly purchased 2015 Legacy but was miserably disappointed with performance of the CVT. Moral of the story: newer technology isn't always better. Glad I still have the Camry!

First 6 months it whistled, rattled and stuck

I cannot express my utter disappointment with this car. My family has always been Toyota people and after rave reviews from my now husband, I decided to purchase my first Legacy. Right off the bat I started hearing a whistling wind noise from the passenger window. The dealer assured me that it is a known problem and they will have a solution package shortly. Unfortunately it was 6 months before I moved up the long waiting list to get the solution. Then in the middle of winter, my fuel cover got stuck and would not open -- so I had to get it towed in to the dealership because the car was out of gas. Finally that was solved. Very shortly after that my driver's automatic window would not open. Luckily it is a known problem and they fixed it quickly. FINALLY, i started to hear a rattle in the mornings coming out of the front engine area. Had to bring it in several times because of course the rattle wouldn't happen when the serviceman would be inspecting it. Finally it turned out that it was loose heat shields. The dealer (different one since i moved) was not happy about fixing the problem on his dime, so he replaced them without tightening them so the rattle continued all winter. One year later, leaving the dealership half in tears with a realization that my brand new Subaru was a LEMON. And average mpg at 29. NEVER AGAIN.
