Really A Nice Car For The Money

2020 Subaru Legacy Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

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.

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.

2021 Subaru Legacy Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

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.

Very nice car overall, but nothing's perfect!

2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

We have a crimson red pearl 2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT which currently has 14,000 miles. My wife loves it. Happy wife, happy life. While there are trendier (more modern?) designs out there, we think it's a handsome enough car though it ain't going to win any awards for that! Some of the others look overdone, trying too hard. The turbo has great pick up in all situations and I've been surprised at how unobtrusive the cvt performs. MPG is decent. It rides smoothly (I find the steering too light but it's okay), it feels composed on the road and the seats are among the more comfortable I've tried - the thigh extension is a particularly nice touch. Interior materials and design are generally quite nice. The shape of the trunk makes it feel much larger than what the specs indicate. The huge touchscreen definitely could have been simplified but my non-techie wife seems fine with it. The fact that you have to go to the dealer to get an update on the screen layout (they improved the climate control area) instead of over-the-air is ridiculous. We always use our phones for navigation so I can't comment on that, but other people have complained about it. The WORST rear-view camera image quality I've ever seen (over-contrasted/over-saturated) and I haven't found a way to adjust it. It ranges from poor to useless. It's also not even large, especially considering the humungous screen. How can we have a 2016 Ford Fusion SE AWD with a much better quality image and larger?? I've turned off some of the nanny features like lane departure warning and muted the blind spot warning. Life is better. A panoramic sunroof or at least the larger one would have been a nice improvement over the standard one. There is a shallow parcel shelf at the knee of the passenger which is too intrusive. Having to use the phone app instead of a remote start button on the fob is dumb. You should have both options, as they each have their pros and cons. Subaru has been using the exact same alloy wheel design on Legacies for several years. Time for a change. We had a defective front strut replaced under warranty. The dealer in NY was fantastic.
