Luxurious mid-sized sedan that's great to drive!

So not only is the Legacy one of if not THE safest mid-sized sedan out there, it's great fun to drive in XT trim. The handling is confidence-inspiring and the engine is very powerful. The suspension and AWD work to carve the corners and the engine pulls you out of the curves and down the straights in short order. On top of that, this car has ALL the bells and whistles to give you a nice relaxing drive down the highway if that's the agenda for the day. I love it!

Grand Legacy for Me

2022 Subaru Legacy Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

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.

Electrical Nightmare

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.

I got the Touring XT. Incredibly smooth and quiet ride. The turbo engine provides PLENTY of power. The car drives like a sports sedan. Puts BMW’s to shame!

I have FINALLY gotten back in a Subaru after being without one for the past 4 years... When I moved out of New England to Mississippi I had a 2011 Outback which I absolutely loved. I got rid of it because nobody seemed to know how to work on them and there were very few of them near me. I had a Honda Pilot for a year and got rid of it in favor of a GMC Acadia, which I liked, because it felt like my Outback. But I kept saying "I miss my Subaru" every time I saw one on the road. We'll, that all changed a few weeks back - my wife needed a new car, and I offered to trade mine in as well so we'd get more for it, then we'd figure out cars. As it so happened, the dealer had a 2023 Legacy Sport on the lot which was priced below market value (because Mississippi). I cannot accurately state just how much I love this car, and how much I love being back in a Subaru. The drive comfort is outstanding, and the S# mode absolutely RIPS. Gas mileage is 27~ combined, and it's just such a joy to drive. I did an 18 hour round trip drive to see my parents with ZERO road fatigue... The only real drawback is that the stock stereo & speakers suck. (Non HK) but that was easily remedied by putting new Kenwood speakers in and a Rockford sub in the trunk. Overall, I would 100% buy the Leagacy Sport again.
