It's a great car with a few important qualifications to consider: The stock tires aren't very good, so if you buy it for winter driving, as we did, you're going to need replacements very soon after purchase. This car was the 3rd out of 4 Subarus we have purchased (all at the same dealership and sales rep). The others were a Forester (2009), Outback (2012) and another Outback (2017). The Forester and Outbacks are MUCH better in the snow given their higher high ground clearance and are unstoppable on bad roads (except for the cars in front of you of course), the legacy is a sedan, so even with the AWD on all models, you won't get the same ground clearance and hence as good snow performance as the Outbacks or Foresters. DO NOT BUY A BLACK SUBARU!!!! The paint will Scratch incredibly easily. My wife ran it through a non-touchless car wash, the washes that use the big rotating brushes, and the car came out with $300 worth of damage on the hood. But it has also had spots on the roof and trunk. This apparently happens when dirt, bird poop, sap, etc., is on the car in the sun. Whatever it is, the black paint gets so hot it will "cook" it resulting in the paint bubbling up and cause expensive to repair damage. In our case, the dealer went back to Subaru and they're going to repaint the car, mostly due, I think, to the fact that we've bought four Subarus from one dealership in the last seven years.

Efficient, comfortable and quiet. 30+ MPG and 4 wheel drive a bonus The safety features are quite good. Not a race car, but quite acceptable acceleration. My wife just bought another Subaru (Forester), with the same engine. Was happy with dealer service until they began to sell an "Extended Warantee" under the guise of a magic oil additive. I opted for a local service provider and am happy without the "upselling" of extras. Still very happy with it.

I've owned this car for over a year and I really like it. I drove other more expensive competitors and this car was just as good if not better.
