I must be overly captivated by the strengths of Subaru Legacy. Those include smooth highway ride, quiet, great visibility, spacious and comfort. Best in class AWD should make it a very safe vehicle as well. What makes the vehicle not appealing to you potentially? Acceleration and wheel handling aren’t exciting yet entirely sufficient. I read the car makes an annoying sound when the acceleration pedal is pushed down all the way. I disagree as I find the sound not annoying at all. Final comment: this review points to my appreciation for the car’s strengths. I expect there are similar cars to love and also forgive their particular weaknesses.

5th Subaru (but NOT our last)

Traded in my 2015 Subaru Outback Limited in January when lease ended and spotted a 50th Anniversary Legacy, which immediately changed my mind on another Outback. This IS the best vehicle I have ever owned ( along with my wife’s 2018 Legacy), in my 55+ years of vehicle ownership. First trip from metro Detroit to Traverse City and back got 29.9 mpg even though the Legacy wasn’t even broken in yet! Comfortable, easy to drive, improved navigation and eyesight systems all add up to a car that I WANT to drive. This is our 5th Subaru but will no be our last!

After my wife's 3 Outbacks, I picked the Legacy as our 4th Subaru, Premium with EyeSight package. It's no frills car for my work appointments. It has the same smooth purring car engine vibration which I love and the drive is very comfortable and roomy for a family with kids. Buy something else if you want a sports car and don't complain about the acceleration, it's totally fine for passing and getting on the highway. I can't wait to drive it in the snow.

A Good Car Made Better

Took a 2018 Legacy Premium lease late August. Aside from a small software problem Subbru has promised a fix for soon, this is a much, much better car than the 2104, and quite a bit better than the 2011 we liked more than the 2014. Fixes: 1) much less tiring steering feel, 2) much quietier, especially the drivetrain & transmission 3) seating more comfortable, 4) ride/suspension vastly improved, and 5) a bunch of small but important interior feature/comfort changes. The most dramatic improvement was the highway mileage; our last trip at 74 mph on a pretty hilly NYS Thruway was 39+ mpg for the 250 miles - pretty good for a pretty good sized AWD car. That is about 33% better than the about 30 mpg for the 2014. City mileage is just a little better. To be redundant, Subaru made some very good and important changes.

Subaru Legacy worth the Buying

I had a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Living in the northeast, I felt it necessary to have the AWD. The Legacy is compact, comfortable, rides beautifully and was worth the money. I especially like the adjustments of the driver's seat which can be raised and has an adjustable back support. I've only been driving the car for six weeks and sense that the hybrid is slightly better on gas. Other than that, I'm pleased with the purchase and will feel safer when winter comes and I need to navigate hills in snowy weather.
