I love every single bit of this 3.6 R limited. It is precise in steering, safe, comfortable and Powerful. Its CVT is responsive and performs amazing. Gas mileage in city is great, having a V6. I love the navigation. I had hard times with Voice Recognition for a day. It turns out that it runs smooth whenever you say the Province/State name in full rather than abbreviated. For example, I live in British Columbia, which we call BC. When I said BC in the command related to the address, VR did not work. When I switched to saying XYZ, Street name, British Columbia (in full), the navigation worked without any issues. Back seats are lovely. Mine has 4 heated seats and a heated steering wheel. I love that. Not to forget the friendly Eyesight. I like how safe the car is. My final comment is: this is by far the best ever car I have owned. I owned 3 SUVs and a Mercedes (C-class) before. Nothing is as good as my 2018 Subaru Legacy 3.6 R.

Too Many Issues

I’ll start this off positive. This car drives and handles wonderfully and I love the power it has for a family sedan. Not to mention, all of the safety features. However, if I had to do all over again, I would get a model without all of the tech. Within a year of owning the car, i noticed it would throw codes related to how hot it was outside and the head unit was just a mess. The Bluetooth would connect and disconnect randomly or would show it was connected and not play anything. It shut off completely and froze during a 5 hour road trip one time. Only thing it would do was randomly flash an irrelevant thunderstorm warning. It also left me stranded due to the gas gauge reading incorrectly. This was a recall and was fixed. The head unit issues had a software update that supposedly fixed all of the issues. It didn’t. It still has all the issues, but it doesn’t happen as often aside from adding a glitch in the navigation where the visual says go left but vocally tells you to go right. The most recent issue I have is my driver side window has a mind of its own and won’t close until you have pushed the button 30 times and then will only go up an inch at a time and the auto feature will just quit working.

I have owned this car for one year, I have got to drive it for about 5 months of that, It has been a frequent shop monkey, round one( was in the shop for a week) in the shop, a squeaky and popping driver seat which resulted in having the whole seat base replaced. round 2 ( was in the shop for another week) in the shop was for another squeaking and popping seat and also a loose driver seat which resulted in another seat base being put in the car. Round 3 ( was in the shop for 2 weeks) for another squeaking and popping and loose driver seat, Also radio head unit glitching out which resulted in a another seat base and the Engineer of Subaru being called, The radio needed to be updated and that fixed that issue. Trip number 4 to the shop ( las in the shop for 2 more weeks ) Squeaking and popping seat Also the heated seat went out number 4, This resulted in the field engineer coming to the shop and taking a look at my car, Engineer stated that the seat needed to be greased an lubed. Once I picked the car up that fix lasted till I got maybe 5 miles from the dealership. Trip 5 to the shop ( another 2.5 weeks with to car) Seat issues again squeaking and popping and loose, Field engineer was contacted again and they finally put the seat out of a 2019 Subaru Outback in my car ( outback and Legacy are exactly the same interior) This fix lasted about 3 weeks. Trip number 6 in to the shop, ( 3 weeks with out car) Seat issues again , squeaking and popping and loose seat, Field engineer was contacted again and the dealer was instructed to install a new seat base in the car . Trip number 7 ( 4 weeks with out car) to the shop, More seat issues, Squeaking popping and very loose seat. Engineer was contacted and another new seat was installed in the car. Trip number 8, this one was a doozie, (total time in shop was 3 months. ) The seat was giving problems again, the front end suspension was making a squeaking and popping noise, the Chrome trim around the radio and gear selector was flaking and pealing off, the sunroof was leaking and the radio head unit went out. The seat was replaced in the car again, The radio was replaced the trip was replaced the sunroof was replaced and the while front end suspension had to be redone including the steering rack. Lucky Subaru is making the car right. But boy has this car been one more headache, Love definitely did not make this Subaru a Subaru. So mu advice to anyone looking and considering one of these I would definitely think twice before making this jump and purchasing this car.

It’s sexy but slow, used to own a 07 WRX and loved that though.
