Luxury and safety and great gas mileage

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

I chose this car due to the safety features that can only be matched by the more expensive Volvo S60 with similar luxury features. I love that it comes standard with adaptive cruise control and awd. It is a fraction of the price of many luxury cars that struggle to match the reliability of Subaru and its stellar safety systems. The other feature I love is the large gas tank at 18.5 gallons coupled with the excellent gas mileage. I average 33.1 mpg in a mix of city and highway driving. I can drive from MD to FL and stop only once for gas and that is a feature Subaru should toot its own horn for!!

Great! Just some software tweaks needed

I traded this in from a 2018 Outback. I like the new features that the car has to offer that weren't in the previous models. There are some things in the new display that I really wish they didn't change. The GPS will start in the default view and will not stay in the last view you had it in. Also, you can't mute the GPS. You can turn it down all the way, but the radio will still fade out when the GPS is giving directions. These features were in the previous model.

First car I have ever hated

My 2020 Legacy just turned 1 year old and I'm ready to trade it in. I truly hate this car. Its the smart car that isn't that smart. When I enter, facial recognition is supposed to know who I am, yet it thinks I one of 5 different drivers. It is a super safe car so if you dare scratch the back of your neck, you will be warned to keep you eyes on the road. Any neck movement make the car think your not paying attention. That drives me batty! Along with the engine shutting off at every red light and then jerking on....I have had it. An update is that Subaru does have good trade in value! I sold this lemon and will never own a Subaru again, but I got most of my money back!

XT Touring worth the etra $$

2022 Subaru Legacy Touring XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the smaller engine and save $$ or spring for the XT. The XT Touring has so much packed into it - nappa leather is nice, the seats are comfy (and ventilated). the acceleration is strong, the stereo is clear and the car is QUIET! I am looking forward to many luxurious years with this car. So far the only qualms I have are very minor. (I like the way VW does their trip computer functions better.)

They almost had it...

Purchased a new 2020 Legacy Premium in March, 2020. Let's just say it's been more of a hassle than a good experience. This is my first Subaru and definitely my last. The car has been in the service center SIX times for touchscreen failures. Update performed - still issues, unit replaced - still issues, audio control unit replaced - still issues. After the dealership had my car for 20 days now, I receive a call stating that Subaru and Technical Support has come to a conclusion; good news? So I thought. There is an issue with the pre-downloaded Pandora App and Apple CarPlay. The interference also messes with all of the Eyesight systems and cause them to go offline. The apps are interfering with each other and that is what is causing the failures. They don't have a fix for it and I am being told that I will just have to deal with it until a fix/update is released. So pretty much I am driving around in a $32,000 tin can on wheels since the touchscreen controls EVERYTHING! The Legacy and Outback have the same software and touchscreen. Currently, I am in an Outback as a loaner and that unit is far worse than mine is. Buyer beware! Do yourself a favor and go with the Ascent.
