Loving this car so far in the winter weather. My front driver I traded in got stuck 3 times this winter and I'd had enough of that. I got the premium trim with the moonroof and navigation. This is a nice car at a very inexpensive price point at this trim level. 7 inch screen is gorgeous and the stereo sounds great even though it's not the 12 speaker one. I got the auto dimming mirror with homelink as well and this is great if you've ever had a battery getting low on your garage remote. If you can live without leather, this is a great trim level to get.

This is my 5th subi and 1st Legacy. In the past, it was either the Forester or the Outback and they were/are very solid cars. Not very pretty to look at but very practicle and comfortable. This Legacy is a different than the rest. More conscious toward younger and new users. Bit more techie and more sporty. In some sense this is a good thing, but for me this ride is hard to get use to. It is firm...like 90' BMW firm. On a smooth surfaces all is well, but on uneven roads, it gets busy, really busy. Unfortunately, where I live, there are not too many buttery roads. I will have to wait and see how my body will adapt to the car. Honestly, I see back ache returning.

I've had this car for two months now with 4000 miles on it. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This car has everything I need. Looked at $60K+ cars and couldn't justify what this Legacy gives you for the money. It's smooth and comfortable, yet stiff enough to feel a bit sporty. Our family finds it very comfortable for highway driving. Never thought I'd buy a Subaru, but glad I did.
Love my 15 Legacy Limited

It's a great car if you live in places where there's lot of snow and ice, which was one of my primary reasons for getting an AWD car. The fuel economy suffers from the all wheel drive, but that's to be expected, and frankly I can't complain since it still beats the heck out of any SUV or truck in gas milage. This last year I've gotten between 25-35 average mpg, depending on the outside temperature. Lower extreme temperatures in the negative you get lower gas mileage. Car handles great on roads my old FWD sedan would never have made it through. Routinely drove it in 3-6" of snow and blowing snow on the road and had few problems except having to kick some of the snow out of the wheel well on long snowpacked road trips through the Dakotas. Point and drive and let the AWD system do what it's good at, with a little common sense applied. Was able to get it out of its parking spot in over a foot of snow with minimal shoveling to get in the vehicle. I bought mine certified used, and have to say I wasn't too happy with some of the trouble I had out of the gate - two serious defects that were known and covered under warranty were not fixed before purchase at my original dealership in the Twin Cities. These included a computer chip in the engine where the relay would get frost on it in extreme temperatures and cause the engine to fail to start. Switching out the chip for the recall replacement solved this issue permanently but it was annoying at first because I would have to keep it running when out or risk being stuck. The other was that the electronic parking brake issue had not been replaced which could have caused major repairs if it had engaged. My maintenance dealership in Bismarck has been great about helping me out with these issues, and they offered to send someone out to fix it for me with the original issue. When I asked if they could walk me through a temporary fix just to get it moving, they were glad to help with that as well since everyplace is so spread out here. Moral of the lesson: Make sure that all of the recalls for the 2015 redesign have been addressed when you buy yours. After these issues, this car has been an amazing piece of machinery. Engine and transmission have not caused any issues and shifting has been satisfactory. It's not a race car; acceleration is relatively slow, but it is a reliable vehicle and will get you places when the weather gets ugly. Complaints about CVT have been far overblown in my opinion, with shifting being more than satisfactory as my daily driver. The onboard computer comes with a large touch screen which makes entertainment selection easy. The 12 speaker surround sound makes me pretty happy especially considering how picky I am about my lossless music to begin with. Long trips are pretty easy to deal with in this car. Lots of room inside, seats are comfortable, and can be heated in the front and in the back with independent controls for passengers and back seat occupants. Dual control climate isn't something I was particularly interested in, but it's there and seems to work fine. Voice activated controls are a little picky and can do the wrong thing occasionally, esp. if the fan is running, but I like to change things manually anyway as voice control in general takes too long in any vehicle. Nice little gimmick to impress your friends with, though! Trunk is spacious and lots of room for groceries and luggage. Outside design is in my opinion stylish and the rims that come with the limited edition look spiffy. I get lots of complements on my car from friends and strangers alike! If I were to go back in time to when I was shopping for cars, I would still buy my 15 legacy again.

It runs well. I'm looking forward to see how it drives in snow. Perhaps engine could be quieter. I believe engine is quieter than older models. I purchased a black color car with chrome accent. The chrome that runs along dashboard below steering will reflect on to the side mirror and makes it difficult to view traffic on driver's side mirror. I wish that the speakers that are on the doors could be placed higher. I have children and I see them placing there feet there and have seen mud on them. I do like that the button to open the trunk is very accessible. I no longer have to find it on the floor by gas lever as in my older Camry. The touch screen is great. It's taking time to figure out all it's functions. I never had a rear view camera and I'm seeing how helpful it is when parking in the city where parking can get tight. Overall, I do like the car Just needs a few changes in some interior design as I first mentioned.
