Everything from comfort down to performance value. This car literally has it all, you get a wide range of options using the dash panel just above the steering column, and the main screen using a wide range of options for entertainment, and navigation. The mini dash panel has a unique option for cruise control that is built into the steering column, and allows you to never have manually adjust the speed or slowness of the vehicle. The driver seat lets you adjust to how comfortable you want to drive from a tall person to shorter persons perspective. The mirrors give you good angles to be aware of your surroundings. The climate control system is bar none with front and back heated seats. Now, let's get to the engine performance, some in the reviews here say it takes 9+ seconds to go from 0 to 60 MPH. In a pigs a**, I was able to achieve 0 to 70 in less than 4 seconds. Where do you get this is the slowest car? Maybe a 4 cylinder engine, the 3.6L V6 isn't a slow car by any means. Not to mention the symmetrical AWD this car has that is known to be better than Audis AWD system. You really can't go wrong with this car.

Low profile car and serious mechanical problems

I have 2018 Subaru Legacy 2.5 L. The car had a broken transmission at 177700 km; it is awful for a car broken transmission before 200 000 km because of the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Basically this transmission 2 in 1 like usage of manual and automatic but the gear system concept works as similar as a bicycle chain operating system. Easy to broke and hard clutching when the car is loaded to chance vehicle’s torc power especially accompanied 2.5 L weak engine power when the car was loaded. The transmission might not fix or rebuilt because the cables and chains inside you have to completely replace it. A new transmission is $10500 plus $1500 labor the car itself was $28000 plus tax that’s mean the dam transmission almost half price the car and Subaru is a very rare market portion in Canada so that finding any used part pain in the ass. It took me a week to find used transmission and 2 weeks I had been waiting for installation, Subaru part and service department so bad about customer service. As a final do not buy Subaru or CVT transmission

Antifreeze problem/engine.

My vehicle is a 2018 Subaru legacy limited. It has a 3.6 engine and all the trimmings. I only have 10,200 miles on it but it is eating up the antifreeze everytime I use the heater or air conditioner. I just got back from the dealer and they found nothing. I don't think it is dripping like it is supposed to when driving. I highly recommend all Subaru owners keep an eye on their antifreeze use. At the dealers all they do is top off the fluids. They topped it off then it dropped to low on May 27th. Then last week it was below that. They didn't find any leaks today. I fear it is like my Buick that I got rid of. Their antifreeze is turning out to be just like Subaru's. You can't use anything else but yet it is what is destroying the engine. Then they have the nerve to end the lawsuit. It is really like Really? They are still selling this acidic crap that is destroying engines and the lawsuit is over ? Really? Now I have to keep an eye on it for the next 6 months until the lease is up. Does anybody else have any antifreeze/ transmission problems? I think it starts with the antifreeze except people don't know until it/s too late. My family used to own a car repair business until my father died.
Only seats two adults

after a couple of years, the major flaw in my legacy remains a big problem for all back seat passengers--adults cannot fit in the back seat. the sides slope so far in where they meet the roof sloping down that no adult of any significant height can sit there. my daughter is only 5'10" but her head hits the roof in back unless she tilts her head toward the middle. such a STUPID mistake. i wish i had test driven it with someone in the back seat. i would NOT have bought it. now it's only good for two adults in front and children in back. That's $26000 down the drain.

Smaller than other sedans on the market but definitely has a lot of get-up-and-go! Lots of convenience features like heated seats & mirrors, lane assist, auto eyesight-assist brights, lots of cool features and runs great. AWD is always a plus and of course Subies last forever so high hopes for this one
