Car has plenty of power. Plush ride, large trunk, plenty of room for 4 adults. You can squeeze 5 in but it will be tight in the rear seat. Heated seats dont get as hot or heat up as fast as the ones on the 2019 crosstrek i had. Some features you habe to scroll through a couple screens to find on the infotainment. Only fot about 25-27mpg on highway till i hit 5000-6000 miles, then started getting 30-32. My crosstrek did the same thing on mpg also so im not worried about that. My biggest complaints are the windshield, eyesight covers and hood. I will start with the windshield. Had less then 1000 miles on it and it already has small rock chips. Nothing major, juat looked like dead bugs. But sure enough, they are rock chips. Now for the hood. When driving at highway speeds, the rear portion of the hood flexes and looks like its really flimsy. Reminds me of a flag rippling in the wind. The hood is shut tight, and all bolts are tight etc. Just something i noticed. The plastic covers on the eyesight are not secured very well. They rattle on all bit the smoothest roads. I can push up on the cover and it will stop rattleing.

Good Power, Smooth Ride

At 5 months of ownership (purchased in Sept 2021) and a bit over 7300 miles (95% interstate), I must say I have enjoyed the car thus far. I traded my 2020 WRX Base 6-speed in for this and haven't regretted it, although I do miss the engine sound somewhat. The 2.4L Turbo is responsive, even with the CVT. Simulated gear changes are smooth, and the ride at interstate speeds is nice and quiet. I can actually talk and hear on my car's Bluetooth connection, something that was much more of a challenge with the WRX. Mileage is not quite as good as I would have hoped, but it has averaged less since winter has started with the cold mornings. It did get better mileage when the weather was warmer. I do plan on purchasing an Auto Start/Stop override in the near future, but to be honest, the "off" button is on the first screen of the large 11.6" infotainment system so it's easy to deal with currently. I have many "likes" on this car, and the option I use the most thus far is the heated steering wheel, which at 55-years of age helps some with the old finger joints during cold weather. The leather seats (although not Napa) are very comfortable, and my family likes the heated front and rear seats. I am not a huge fan of the stock aluminum rims, but also haven't found anything that makes me rush right out to replace them. The back-up camera is adequate (I guess), and I really like the small yellow indicators on the inside of the side mirrors that light up when someone is in the blindspot. Complaints? 1st world complaints only, such as I would like a larger area for the rear defrost, which is BARELY adequate, and I would like the disengage for the driver monitoring system to be on the first screen, not three screens in. Carpet COULD be a bit better, as I feel it's very thin and super cheap for the price level of the Limited XT. None of these would be deal breakers if I had known PRIOR TO purchase, however. I have grown accustom to much, much less.

2020 Legacy Touring XT is a real step up

I traded in my 2015 Legacy Limited (which I liked a lot) for a new 2020 Legacy Touring XT. Wow, what a step up. The ride is quieter and more composed. Love the extra oomph and power of the turbo. The new features are definitely enhanced compared to the previous generation. The interior of the Touring is quite nice. Really love this 2020 Legacy! I generally like the new infotainment system and the navigation is definitely improved from my 2015. There are plenty of things to nitpick about the infotainment, as Subaru continues to have rather clunky UX or just plain stupid design choices with poor UX. Not deal breakers, but just a poor execution that limits the infotainment system from reaching its full potential. I like the fact that we can now get over-the-air software updates and am hopeful that we'll be getting some bug fixes and even some UX improvements over time.

We've had 4 over the past 18 years. Everyone has been a good car. We didn't want a box on wheels so no crossovers. Camry and Accord are not AWD. We had a AWD Cadillac but the Subaru is more car for less money.

For what i paid for this car, i really wanted to love it, after all, it handles great and is super comfortable, even on long drives. It handles great in the snow and has great safety features. However, the MFD and navigation system have ruined this car for me, that after 8 months i am ready to take the hit and trade it in. There are so many problems (even after 2 updates and the dealer saying its fine) that make the car too frustrating. After about a minute, the MFD turns off by itself and can take up to 2 minutes to come back on every time I start the car. About half the time it won't recognize my phone. The voice commands are useless and don't work well at all. It won't let me make a hands-free call for instance, which means i need to look away from the road to make a call. There are so many things that you need to touch the screen for, including changing the seat temp or air flow, that i think i need to look at the screen more than i should. The user recognition doesn't work most of the time. The navigation system is the worst I have ever used. Worse even than the first GPS device that I ever bought. I have compared it to the ones on my phone and my husband's car, and the built-in gps system always gives poor directions and will always pick the longest route (I have it set for fastest). Since the nav system is useless, i use one on my phone, which means i can't listen to the USB on which all my music is stored. The built-in Nav system can't find POI's unless they are for brand name store (like it will find Starbucks, but not a local coffee place) and trying to get it to find an address by voice command is undertaking in frustration. So all in all, while the car may be safe and reliable, its functionality is horrid. I regret my purchase of this car. 3/21/21 - after several updates by Subaru’s techs, the MFD is still a horrible piece of electronics. The mapping system by Tom Tom is woefully worthless and there are still so many problems with freezing and long lag times. It is a safety issues that the driver needs to spend so much time fiddling with a screen while driving. So I’ve had this car for 16 months now - didn’t trade it in obviously - and still can’t stand the MFD and still regret my purchase. Look very carefully at the functionality of this display unit before buying!
