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.

Ignore what people say - the engine is perfectly adequate, and incredibly efficient for AWD. Super comfortable ride, and very secure with all the safety features.

In 2020 I had purchased a Jetta and felt the lackluster performance as an adherence, even with its fully loaded interior, making the Jetta pedestrian for my liking. So I traded it in for a Legacy Premium. First Subaru I've owned and I will say the cabin is very quiet, the ride is smooth and balanced, not overly stiff on the suspension. The seats are comfortable, one thing I disliked about my synthetic leather VW seats, but for the same price the VW came with a slew of safety that the entry level Legacy doesn't have. Yes I have the eyesight, but to be honest sometimes I find it to be a bit of a hindrance for some safe driving, but I do not have driver side warning systems, though I do have a back up cam so some things are a interesting trade off. Both models had auto features, the only thing Subaru doesn't have on this level is automatic wipers at this price point. Outside of that, I feel as if the asymmetrical all wheel drive is more meaningful in the 4 season weather my state has. The standard Yokohama tires on the Legacy provide a solid grip to the road alongside a well responsive braking system. Audio is much better than the legacy and I had premium speakers on that model, whereas the entry-level kit on this model is above average in nearly every format I listen to - I used to need to tune the Jettas a lot. The only drawback I have noticed is a slightly lower MPG in the Legacy, whereas I would get nearly 45+ on the Jetta I have averaged a bit above 35+ on the Legacy with similar driving conditions between now and then. Lasting impressions between the Jetta and the Legacy are both fine automobiles, I do like the Legacy much more. The lower center of gravity provided by the boxer motor, the naturally aspirated performance is much better, and the standard awd is a better bang for the buck and I think the Legacy is more eye catch than the generic Jetta.

Subaru Legacy 2020 Keeps failing

My car is at 88000 miles now which means I drive a lot mostly in highway. I've driven cars in US for about 34 years now and never had this many issues for a new vehicle. 1. I had to replace Windshield 3 times so far which makes last windshield is 4th one. All 4 times it was a small pebble and I wouldn't worry about that but it cracks next day morning. It just cracks as temperature changes. By the way, I am living in San Jose, CA which is not cold at all! 2. Thermal control value failed at 70000 miles or so I had to replace it. 3. Transmission is starting to go out at 75000. I have to replace it now which make me getting mad. 4. Touch screen is not working once in a while until ignition has to be turned off first and restart the car.

Love my Legacy Sport

Smooth ride, handles well, and once I realized you push and not punch the pedal on a CVT performance was fine. i was coming out of a Charger w/ hemi and knew my drag racing days where over but I have no problem passing or cruising at 80mph on the highway. Contrary to some reviews I get a lot good comments about how good the blackout looks on the Sport. Was hard trading in my charger but i needed a good AWD and I am very happy with my Sport.
