Had the vehicle since July 2022. Now getting it's 3rd warranty issue fixed. First the battery, then the radio, and now a window motor. I am starting to lose confidence in the brand. Each newer model has more problems than the last.

Subaru 2022 Legacy Limited Quality Lost

Update.... I know this car is out there as used cars, but I would like to warn anyone thinking about buying. Since I posted the original "it's an OK car." the electronics have been a major problem. I had to fight with the dealer to have them even take the time to look at the issue with the sound system and it it's mind of it's own where it will blare with no provocation (which is bad when you are starting the car at 4AM) and the display unit that is so slow, molasses flows faster than the response from hitting a selection. That's when the display even decides to acknowledge the car is running and should be responding. The dealer finally got approval from Subaru (or so they said they were waiting for Subaru) to do a warranty replacement for the computer brains, not the display unit. They did that and it didn't help the issue with slowness and the blaring. I took the car back and nobody acknowledged there was still an issue. So, I figured it is what it is and realizing Subaru is no longer the quality product they once were.

Very nice car overall, but nothing's perfect!

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.

My car is only 14 months and has 7800 miles. My issues are: when traveling during heavy rain my eyesight messaging system is not working and this has happened twice don’t understand why? My tire pressure warning system doesn’t register correctly, when I put 33 pounds front it registers 32 lbs and when I put in 32 lbs rear and it registers 31 lbs I know the tire pressure machine is correct because I’m using the Costco tire pressure machine and it registers correctly. I also had a blockage in the air conditioning out pipe and the dealer took care of that. Other then that I get great mileage, got as high as 48 and a combo 34 so I’m very happy we that.
