2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited PZEV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
10 of 16 people found this review helpful
this is my second Subaru-the first is a 2003 Outback which I still own. While both are solid cars, the 2015 Legacy has a luxury ride and feel. If you are looking for a comfortable, safe long distance driver, it is pretty hard to beat the Legacy. Ride is comfortable and quiet. Love the Eyesight and other safety features. It was Important to me to have a safe car for my family so the added safety features were worth it. I often drive 750 miles one way to my vacation home and I arrive refreshed and ready to go further. 4 wheel drive is great. I tested others-Toyota Camry, etc and they are not even close. After year and half I'm still impressed by this car. Very solid highway ride. Adaptive cruise control is great for long trips. Highly recommend this car.

Bought it new. Key fobs act up and don't open trunk. There is a key to manually open door, then press dash button to open trunk. Cumbersome GPS. Good gas mileage and like the safety features-Eyesight.

I was looking forward to my Legacy. I love the way it looks inside and out. It has a simple design with a great price tag for all wheel drive; however, after a month of having it my back started hurting. The lumbar support on the seat will not go down all the way. Before you drive this car sit in it four a couple of hours. It hurts my back so much I am going to trade it in for a new vehicle.
Very nice car, definite improvement

My wife had a 2014 Legacy which met an untimely end. Without hesitation we went to the local Subaru dealer and picked up a 2015 before they were all gone. The 2014 had a manual transmission which is no longer offered which is a real shame. My wife was concerned because we had rented a Sonata with a CVT which was horrible to drive. Thankfully no problems with the Legacy as Subaru has done an excellent job with the "gears" programmed into the CVT. An automatic might get a few more horses transferred to the wheels but then again I've driven some that seem to constantly hunt for the right gear. Having the paddle shifters helps and since we have had many years of experience with 2.5L Subarus we know what to expect when it comes to acceleration. I hate to admit it but even without the manual this is still a nice car to drive. And speaking of manuals, I was looking through the manual that comes with the car and I was pleasantly surprised to see details that have been left out of previous manuals. Sure it still says to take the car to the dealer but then proceeds to show how to do various maintenance items and part replacements. I don't remember as much being shown in previous ones. Of course it still has an awesome AWD system which we need to get out of our long and hilly driveway when the snow comes down. Thankfully Subaru put decent tires on the car. Not sure why previously they gave us AWD and then put horrible tires on to counteract it (like the ones that come with the Outback). On the outside the styling is much better than the last generation. Same with the inside. It is comfortable, quiet, the controls are better placed and I really like the details such as the pattern on the silver trim. I also think Subaru got the the instrument panel just right. I am not a fan of pods for the speedometer and tach but the look as a whole is good. Also, we purchased one with the EyeSight system. We like the adaptive cruise control and the accident avoidance feature is a major selling points. The related graphics display is nice eye candy and useful. Reliability has been good. Looks like they fixed the oil consumption issue that affected our 2014. There have been a number of recalls and minor issues but I'll accept that since this was the first model year of this generation. There have been no major issues. The one item I will mention is the lumbar in the seats. My wife likes it and even increases the amount of lumbar. I hate it even with the setting all the way back. It pokes into my back and I hate to drive the car for more than a few minutes. In my 2016 Outback I opened the seat and removed the large, poorly designed piece of white plastic. That helped a lot.

Luxurious feel. Smooth quiet acceleration(below average but adequate). Outstanding gas mileage for all wheel drive. A+ comfort. Voice activation is easy and efficient while driving. Adaptive cruise control is great as is safety vision feature. HK sound system is beautiful to listen to. Walkman and IPOD interface is good. A little slow interacting with walkman via USB. Blue-tooth easy and flawless. Navigation is wonderful to use. Interior is gorgeous Not a fan of CVTs but this is the best one i have ever driven. Much improved from previous model. Handling is very good. Love the torque vectoring feature for sharp handling. Fantastic climate control with all seats having warmers. Does a great job in snow and rain. Zipped thru 7-8 inches the other day with no problems getting up our large hill.
