Great 4-Door Sedan

I purchased my 2022 Legacy Limited 2.5 new back in June. I currently have almost 4000 miles logged. I needed a car to commute to work. I traded in my Ram Pick-up. I was nervous at first since I haven't driven a regular car in so long. I was pleasantly surprised. Though this car doesn't have nearly the punch of a big V8 I still enjoy it. There isn't much power under the hood of the Legacy, but all I'm doing is commuting now. This car is comfortable and quiet. It does what it is supposed to do, gets me from point A to point B safely and comfortably. I went with Subaru due to it's safety features, all-wheel drive, design and fuel efficiency. There's plenty of room in the back seat for my 5ft8in son and my daughter. Trunk space is enormous. The fit and finish appear to be upscale for this segment. If you're looking for gas mileage and safety this is my pick. If you prefer a little more punch under acceleration, then go with the 2.4 Turbo. There is a significant difference in price and mileage. As far as safety goes, I think the only competitor is Volvo, but you'll pay the Volvo price. I commute approximately 100 miles a day. I get on the highway, set the cruise control and all safety systems and let the car do it's thing. The distance pacing cruise control works great. The eyesight system works and helps to keep the vehicle centered in the travel lane. If the safety systems wouldn't yell so much when you take your hands off the wheel, I think this car would drive itself.

This is my 4th Legacy, and pretty much loved the other three. I first saw the Limited XT model at my dealership, John Kennedy Subaru, in Norristown, PA. That was the first year for this trim level. I fell in love with it. So this year I bought the XT in the grey color. I had a 2015 Limited with 43000 on it that I gave to my Grandson for college. That was like a new car for him. I actually did not need a new car that one was fine he needed it more than I did. I just wanted to get one more new one before they put me out to pasture, lol So I went the whole nine yards, bought the top of the line loaded with all the bells and whistles. Glad I did! This car is all that and more. It's luxurious, the combo of the graphite grey silica and the tan Napa leather interior is perfect. I have had so many compliments on this car. It rides as good as many high end luxury cars and handles beautiful. I can't imagine anything else I need in a car! Hate that stop/start thing the government forced on cars manufacturers, there is no one going to tell me it doesn't cause harm to the engine and transmission. You can shut it off very simply before you even move the car, there is a button on the screen to shut it off. You do have to do that every time though. You will know if you forgot the first time you stop though, by the clunk whe you go to accelerate!. The touch screen panel does take some time to get used to, but not a big issue. I am retired and look forward to taking this XT on some long trips! To me at least this is absolutely a 5 star car!

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.

2022 Legacy touring XT

I haven’t had it long enough to review “dependability” so this is more of a “first impression/ 500 mile review”. Pros: Interior - I love the Napa leather The big screen for the entertainment system is nice I like having the physical buttons to adjust the temperature outside of the entertainment screen Very little road noise Visibility is good Seats our very comfortable POWERTRAIN/FUEL MILEAGE/DRIVING EXPERIENCE - Handling is fantastic Good power/acceleration with the turbo charged engine. 0-60 in around 6 seconds. Adaptive cruise control with lane assist work great. I’m averaging about 28 miles per gallon driving about 85% freeway and 15% city The ride is SUPER smooth even over roads that are in desperate need of maintenance. CONS - My biggest complaint is probably that the back up camera is no better then a $200 aftermarket backup camera. I would think that in 2022 the top model of the legacy would have a birds eye view camera (my 2017 Nissan has it) but at the very least a higher quality back up camera. Along those same lines, the front camera is terrible! It’s a grainy/pixilated looking image. I know “first world problems” but I just expected more out of a car this luxurious in many other ways. A close 2nd on my biggest complaints is that I wish there was a way to permanently disable the auto start and stop along with the eyesight that watches the driver. It’s not hard to do but it’s annoying that I have to do it every time I turn off the car and restart it. And at number 3 and last on my list on biggest cons… This one is mind blowing to me. In what universe does a car manufacturer get to 2022 and not put a automatic start button on the key fob? They must have thought “Instead, let’s put it in a mobile app (with a subscription) so our consumers get to navigate through the apps on their phones, open the app, take a semester in computer software engineering to learn how to set up everything and wait for our app to open and load every time so that they can automatically start their cars”??? So now I can start my car from another country, unlock it and adjust my heated seats and climate controls but I can’t push a button on my key fob and start it from 10 feet away?? Who was the genius??? I literally can have a aftermarket system to start my 1956 bel air with my key fob but not in a 2022 legacy, no way….. I digress. Now to my complaints that are just me trying to be picky…. The delay on acceleration from a stop leaves a little to be desired but definitely not terrible. I, personally, do not like the stock wheels but I could be the oddball there since one of the first thing my wife mentioned was the “fancy wheels” There is no automatic start button on the key fob. Oh did I already say that? Yeah, well it’s stupid. Overall, the car has luxurious interior, exterior could maybe use an update but I like it and the power and ride is great all while offering AMAZING AWD capabilities.

Grand Legacy for Me

I love the way this vehicle drives, so smooth, the best I've even owned. In the past I have had SUVs that were nice. None of the SUVs drove as nice, plus they sat higher and more difficult to get in and out. The dash board is not to complicated and was I able to get to operate it. The salesperson went through many of the controls with me -which was nice and was will to answer questions.

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.

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.

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.

XT Touring worth the etra $$

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.)
