Used 2017 Subaru Legacy Sedan Consumer Reviews
Great Alternative to the usual sedans
We leased a 2017 Legacy Limited with EyeSight and Nav package, and the car has everything anybody could ask for in the near luxury midsize sedan segment. The Limited trim comes with a long list of features, and option package #24 adds extra goodies like HID headlights, Eyesight, Nav etc and is a pretty good deal IMO. We bought this after test driving the Mazda 6 GT, Ford Fusion Titanium, Lincoln MKZ. The Legacy offers the best combination of safety, value, features and comfort. So far its being running great with a very comfortable ride and ready to take on another Midwest winter. The Harman Kardon audio system sounds excellent, much cleaner and punchy compared to similar Bose systems. The Legacy is surprisingly roomy and comfortable inside. The quiet interior and the low pitch drone from the CVT put some of my passengers to sleep on the highway! Only minor issue is that the front seats seem too wide, but I guess its on-par for a family sedan.

Great Vehicle.
I was looking to buy a car for about 9 months. I was eyeing for a midsize sedan, an upgrade from the 2005 Civic I had for 13 years. I was searching online, reading reviews, driving through dealership lots on Sundays, asking people around...I wanted something reliable for years to come, with decent fuel economy, nice looking and also can outstand the icy cold weather of my state Minnesota. After 9 months, narrowed it down to two vehicles, and only 2. The 2017 Honda Accord or the 2017 Subaru Legacy. I settled with a Legacy Sport Trim, because of the standard Symmetrical AWD System, which is a huge plus in Minnesota's winter conditions. After two months of driving it around, I'm very confident to say the car is nicely built. It drives nice, handles the road amazingly, it's quiet, roomy and comfy. I was blown away about the fuel economy 25/34, given the vehicle size, weight and AWD system. I drove to work on a Sunday morning, the roads and freeway empty, slightly down hill commute. I clocked 39.4 MPG in a trip of 11 miles. I wasn't hyper-miling like crazy, I was easy on the gas pedal and maintained a steady speed of 60/62

Mostly fabulous!
I love my new Subaru Legacy and its many features: headlights are the best I have ever had; messages of "lane departure" and "vehicle ahead has moved" will surely make me a more alert driver. The blind spot warnings are very helpful. The few things I don't like: setting the headlights (they work great...difficult to figure out); the location and difficulty of seeing the time; the GPS has no streets, only turns; I miss a key that goes in the ignition.

All Function and Some...Sport
If you are interested in contributing to your retirement, minimizing cost of ownership, and experiencing a daily driver that is peppy on the curves/mixed weather conditions, this is the sedan for you! I purchased the Legacy "Sport" trim, but not because the package offers anything remotely sporty beyond aesthetics. This trim looks beautiful and the interior two-tone seats have been perfect, both breathable and no staining issues. The car could use an additional 100 horsepower and manual transmission, but is otherwise a joy to drive.
