Great car!
I have to say that this is the best purchase my family has made in a long time. We really like everything about the car. So far, we have driven the car just over two thousand miles in about one month. Over that time we are averaging 33.1mpg in mixed driving. The car handles very well and feels secure on the road. No complaints with the interior or anything else. We definitely made the right choice for our family. We could not see ever going back to Accord or Camry. FYI- we have the premium trim with Eyesight, navigation, and moon roof.

Had owned 6 previous Subaru's. 73,76,79,83,84,84
Have only owned the car for a month. Did take one 600 mile trip through the mountains of Colorado. Car does ride a little STIFF on rough parts of I-70 in the mountains. Averaged 34.75 mpg for the trip including about 50-70 miles in Denver and Aurora mid-day Traffic using the A/C at least half the trip. "Eye Sight" feature worked great using cruise control and traffic ahead varying their speed.

Enjoyed vehicle during the last year
I purchased the vehicle last September and have enjoyed it since. I have driven it in practically every kind of weather and it handles wonderfully on the freeway or on a windy rural road. I would highly recommend the Eyesight system and the weather package for the vehicle as well. The sound system is impressive as well.

Good and Bad
Like many, there's many things I like about my Legacy. Conservative styling and a car that I can actually see out of are benefits. Road and wind noise are disappointing. Ride can be harsh. At 22000 miles I ended the time with the OEM Goodyear tires and greatly improved the ride. Navigation lags, often telling me to turn too late. Rattles, squeaks, and pops everywhere in the interior deemed as "normal". I would accept in a 1986 Plymouth Horizon, but not here. Decent handling, good braking, adequate acceleration. Overall pleased with fuel economy. I would feel much better about my purchase had Subaru sweat the details. Dealer support has been fine.

Luxury, sleek, fun
This is my first Subaru I've owned and I must say I love it. I financed with all of the warranties and the company is great about notifying you of your oil changes and monitoring everything online. I have the EYESIGHT feature which is amazing, you literally can't get better safety features on any other vehicle. The ONLY thing I wish this car had is Apple CarPlay. That's it. I got the heated leather seats in front and back, moonroof; pretty much the works on this car and it honestly feel like being in a Lexus. My friend has a same year Acura and it is not as well designed, elegant or luxurious as this car; this is a side note from the outstanding safety features, gas mileage, and great consumer support from Subaru(reminders of oil changes, sales promotions, and great warranties). I couldn't be more happy with this vehicle, I feel like it covers all corners on quality, luxury, safety, and economy. I'll probably buy another Subaru after this one is paid off in a few years. You really get A LOT for the price on this vehicle. Mine was about $31,000 but you feel like you're driving a $50-$60,000 car.
