Used 2015 Subaru Legacy Consumer Reviews
beyond disappointed
A brand new car shouldn't have so many problems. Lots of wind noise, lots of road noise, *unbelievably* terrible sound system in my Legacy Limited (sound only comes out of the front center speaker), brakes not terribly responsive. Service guy at the dealership only acknowledged the wind problem and that's because Subaru already has a tech bulletin out on that (since apparently many, many people complained about the same excessive wind noise coming from the front windows).
SUBARU OWNER NO MORE
Turn signals are annoyingly loud. I had three trips to the service department for loose rubber trim for the moon roof. Came loose and couldn't use the moon roof unless you manually pushed it in while opening/closing the roof. Service department said this was all too common an issue. Poor designing. Also had issues with the electronics in passenger front window controls not working...sensors in the door messing up. Only had 21,500 miles and owned for three years. Warranty expiring so I traded in in for a Lexus. Much better choice by far.

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.

Fantastic car
Love almost everything about the redesigned Subaru Legacy. We have the premium with the tech safety package. Can't believe the features and quality for under $25K. Blows every other midsize sedan out of the water. Entertainment system much better than prior Subarus. Ride quality much improved. Safety features awesome for this price point. Solid feel of AWD in times of climate change made us feel this is a better value than midsize hybrids that don't show that much improvement in MPG but have serious handling issues. Driving is not getting any easier in major metro areas with increased congestion and wilder storms, rain, ice, wind, etc. Now have 18K miles on it after 16 months of ownership. Is it possible to love a car more after a year than when you first bought it? We plan to own this for a very long time. Next car will be all electric, tho, but Subaru doesn't do that, yet. If they did, we'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

1st Subaru and last Subaru
I've owned mostly Toyota's and Honda's. I wanted to get a car with AWD for driving in the snow in Colorado so I decided on the Subaru Legacy ( since it has AWD and the MPG rating was pretty good ). I figured that being a Japanese brand the quality and reliability would be good with the Subaru. I was so wrong! For starters, the fit and finish of this car is certainly substandard in comparison to any of the Honda's or Toyota's I've owned. I've had issues with the moonroof not operating along with a piece of molding detaching and jamming in the moonroof track, heat/AC blower fan failed and had to he replaced, several recall items for which car had to be taken to dealership for, lots of rattles in cabin ( I'd swear I'm driving a Ford at times ), SRVD fails frequently. I'm trading-in car at less than 30000 miles because I fear other big issues are in the offing ( transmission, Eyesight system, etc.)... I'm not taking my chances.
