I bought this Legacy primarily for an economical AWD sedan for MN winter driving. It is a nice car but the wind noise is too much for a car in this price range. There is a repair kit for the windows to reduce the wind noise which feels like about 10% improvement. Heated seats are great and the seating is comfortable. I drive a lot of different cars in my job and the CVT in this Legacy is about the worst I have experienced during low speed maneuvers. Higher speed CVT action is fine. The factory battery is a tiny 350 CCA and insufficient for MN winters. The rear glass has some weird optical distortion. And if you turn off the car when the head lights are in the auto position but don't take the key out, the lights will stay on and drain the battery. So there is no battery saver feature. I really want to love the car but I'm moving on.

2015 Subaru Legacy 3.6 limited under performs

OK here is my verdict on 2015 3.6 Legacy (On a three year lease) Pros: • Drive traction • Safety features Cons: • All six cylinders do not fire all of the time, 4 cylinders run until almost red lining. • Interior rattling noise everywhere. Areas in which you can’t reach to try fix yourself. • Technology- Radio, Nav, etc. The touch screen does not always respond to touch, you have to hit the section a few times for it except the command. • The seats have no comfort at all, hard and low quality leather. • I’ve been back 4 times for 3 different recalls. I understand this is low to mid 30K car but come on, how much profit does Subaru really need to make. My wife and I can’t wait for the lease to be over! Once a Subaru admirer.

This car is full of surprises - all pleasant! I had some misgivings about the CVT and noise and acceleration., but it was unfounded. The artificial shift points keep the car responsive and quiet, and the paddle shifter is works well in mountainous terrain. The car inspires confidence in all situations thanks to the all-wheel dive and great suspension. The most amazing feature, however, is the EyeSight adaptive cruise-control, especially in heavy freeway traffic. Just set the cruise control speed, steer and EyeSight does all the slowing, stopping and speed resumption. UPDATE: I've taken the car on several long road trips, mostly on challenging mountain roads. (Route 12 in Utah was a feat test for the car's braking and handling, and it inspired confidence.) Minor complaint: The GPS system has some outdated and inaccurate.

I've had a 2008 Legacy, a 2012 Legacy, but this 2015 Legacy Limited is AWESOME! I wasn't expecting a complete new look (thankfully), but the subtle exterior changes are nice. The 18" wheels are really nice. The fact that this car has safety features NOT EVEN OFFERED by it's main competitors should be reason enough to give it a look. You get a lot for $30k, especially at trade-in time. I owned an older Mercedes and recall that the S-class had Distronic Cruise Radar for $3,000! The Legacy with EyeSight crash avoidance won't set you back nearly that much. It also has blind-spot monitoring. But in addition to the best in class safety features, I really like the upgraded interior.

During our New England winter months, it takes up to 20 minutes of driving to reach my engine's "normal" operating temperature. At that point, the engine oil temperature is about 150 deg. F. During the summer months, the engine warm up period is reduced to 5 to 8 minutes. Subaru dealer claims that this is normal and there are no problems with the thermostat. My 18 years old Forester will reach the operating temperature within 5 minutes even during the winter months. This car has also some other problems - road noise is very high, front wheel bearing replaced at 29000 miles, rear detecrion indicator radar unit replaced at 33000 miles, trunk liner was poorly fitted and replaced-making the road noise even higher than before. Stitching on the rear leather seat is not perfect, gas filler door was installed off-center and would not open - replaced by the dealer. One potentionaly more serious problem is a gradual loss of coolant fluid. Every 6000 miles the coolant fluid (approx. 2 oz.) needs to be added. Dealer claims that the cooling system is working properly. At 60,000 mile service, second wheel bearing replaced. They must be using cheep Chinese bearings.
