This is my 2nd Subaru Legacy Limited. I loved the quirkiness of my 2013 but this 2020 is leaps and bounds better than my old car. The technology is mind blowing and I feel safe each and every time I tackle the roads. With the eyesight and driver monitoring system with lane keep assist and lane monitoring the car practically drives itself as long as the road conditions are consistent. I love the interior as it seems more luxurious than many premium brand vehicles that I have experienced. I narrowed my choice down between a Legacy Limited and a Volvo S60. I wanted all of the safety features. I test drove each and found that the Legacy and Volvo S60 were similar in safety amenities but the Legacy has a slight edge on the quality of the interior in my opinion for $10K less. The engine in the Legacy is less powerful but certainly adequate to meet my needs so I went with the Legacy and I'm not at all disappointed. I am baffled at the fact that Motor Trend has this sedan ranked number 2 and Consumer Reports at number 1 or two yet JD Power puts it dead last. I also have seen reviewers say the technology is not great. (wait, what? have you compared?). It is great tech for the money and second to none in safety.

Outstanding in its field

I lease a new 2020 Subaru Legacy. We just completed a close to 6000 miles journey through the US and I was particularly impressed with the new Legacy's comfort, powerful turbo engine, quiet cabin and excellent traction. Once one has mastered the large infotainment system, it is a breeze to operate. The only negative aspect to the whole vehicle is the need to manually switch "ON" the Auto Vehicle Hold feature, every time the engine is started. Other than that, highly recommended vehicle with unparalleled traction and outstanding creature comforts!

Really A Nice Car For The Money

This has been a great car. The ride is firm but comfortable. The interior noise is a lot quieter than the Honda Accord that it was traded for. The Accord I looked at didn't even have USB ports in the back seat area, even on the Touring trim. The Subaru does, even on the cheaper trims. I really like the heated back seats on the Limited trim. The 11.6 infotainment screen takes a long time to get used to. I found a way to get around the stop/start system (via Youtuber, "Subaru Owner Tips") by turning on the rear defroster. It creates enough of a load so the car won't stop. You can turn off start/stop in the menu, but it's a chore to find. The navigation is really simple to use. The Eyesight system is really good and so is the Driver Focus system. I like being able to get into the car and the camera reads my face and sets my seat and mirrors to my profile. I leave all the warnings on, even though many find it annoying. It keeps me on my toes. This car won't turn heads like the stylish Accord or Camry, but then it doesn't cost as much as those cars with all of the options. Options on this car are sunroof, navigation, Driver Focus system, auto dimming outside mirrors with approach lamps, heated steering wheel and LED interior lighting upgrade. They are worth the money. I find the standard power train (2.5 liter engine) to be adequate enough. It's a near perfect car for most people but perfect for me.

Just traded a 2015 Legacy Limited for a 2020 Legacy Limited. So far, great. Feels like I moved from a Toyota to a Lexus. Still learning and playing with the settings on the giant screen. Smoother, quieter, more powerful. Love the safety features, including Eye Sight and the feature that scans your face and alerts you to watch the road if you’re not. Not thrilled with the Start/Stop but will give it a couple of weeks..you can disable at the beginning of each drive.
