I don't have a catchy title

The car is fantastic. The only thing I wish it had is ventilated seats, and maybe a heated steering wheel. It's quick enough for me, but I would have expected a little more out of the 6 cylinder engine.

Great alternative to your typical mid-size sedans

I bought the 2016 Legacy Limited 2.5i with all tech features included. Overall, I have to say this is a great car for the money. Not only does it come with all-wheel drive, but all the tech features, especially those related to safety, can be obtained at a reasonable price. The only downside I can think of is the fact that the car isn't fast at all compared to its competitors. If you are tired of seeing too many Accords and Camrys, the Legacy is the way to go.

So many good things, I'm just going to share the challenges. Two blown fuses already (charging ports). Entertainment system glitchy at times with Bluetooth or if hard-wired in. Sound system bit the strongest (I should have upgraded this).

Very nice car. Good pricing. Was a tight squeeze for a short driver to get out without pushing the seat back. Not good enough acceleration in the lowest engine size. Mild road noise. Didn't care for stubby look to the front view of the car. Otherwise, great car.
