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!

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.

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.
