2023 Subaru Legacy Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I have a 2023 Subaru Legacy Premium with the BLIS/RCTA package. For the money, this was a phenomenal value (Under 29K). The ride quality is supple and the interior is very comfortable. The fuel economy has been outstanding, at roughly 31-32 MPG each fill up (I drive 50 miles a day on a mix of city streets and rural roadways). I have had the car for 6 months now and so far it has been a very good car. The only issue is not the car's fault...As one of the last low to the ground vehicles, trucks and suv's headlights at night are always an issue. If you have the extra money, I highly recommend the auto dimming mirror/exterior mirror package...which I did not order. You live you learn. Thanks.

The car is great, the base engine has enough power. Having trouble with setting up sending and Receiving text messages. So far the car is excellent . Just came back from a trip the car got 33 mpg. The car is doing great. I thing it's a mistake stopping production on this fine car. People will come back to a car in the future. What goes around comes around.

Ignore what people say - the engine is perfectly adequate, and incredibly efficient for AWD. Super comfortable ride, and very secure with all the safety features.

2023 Subaru Legacy Sport 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful
I needed something with 4-Wheel Drive, or All-Wheel Drive, that would give me the horse power to enter freeway traffic properly, not at 30 mph, and pass on the freeway when needed, and some Sunday afternoon Fun Time. I needed something with at least 250 - 300 hp and good torque. I found all this and more with the new 2023 Subaru Legacy Sport. In (i) mode it is a daily driver with good gas mileage, although the CVT takes a bit getting used to. In (S#) mode the Legacy Sport is quick and sporty, while still giving decent gas mileage. The CVT acts more like a conventional transmission in (S#) mode, but at times you can still tell it is a CVT. It corners good, and the seats are ultra comfortable holding you in place. The iSight system works great when in cruise control, with the occasional slowing you down when nothing is in front of you, but that is rarely. May just need to be recalibrated, or caused from sun glare. I will have them check it on my first service appointment. After Market additions, such as side window deflectors, etc are very hard to find, and seems like the 2019 model was the last year anyone such as Weather Tech, made them. This makes no sense to me as there are a LOT of Subarus of all models sold in the Pacific Northwest. My only complaint, so far, would be the lack of aftermarket accessories for this year/model. This vehicle is worth every penny if you are looking for a mid sized sedan, (although Subaru classifies it as a large sedan,) with good amount of bells and whistles, power and torque, and just plain fun to drive. Plus you get the famous Subaru all-wheel drive for that extra security on the road. The dealership is friendly and down to earth; they treat you like a friend / family.

In 2020 I had purchased a Jetta and felt the lackluster performance as an adherence, even with its fully loaded interior, making the Jetta pedestrian for my liking. So I traded it in for a Legacy Premium. First Subaru I've owned and I will say the cabin is very quiet, the ride is smooth and balanced, not overly stiff on the suspension. The seats are comfortable, one thing I disliked about my synthetic leather VW seats, but for the same price the VW came with a slew of safety that the entry level Legacy doesn't have. Yes I have the eyesight, but to be honest sometimes I find it to be a bit of a hindrance for some safe driving, but I do not have driver side warning systems, though I do have a back up cam so some things are a interesting trade off. Both models had auto features, the only thing Subaru doesn't have on this level is automatic wipers at this price point. Outside of that, I feel as if the asymmetrical all wheel drive is more meaningful in the 4 season weather my state has. The standard Yokohama tires on the Legacy provide a solid grip to the road alongside a well responsive braking system. Audio is much better than the legacy and I had premium speakers on that model, whereas the entry-level kit on this model is above average in nearly every format I listen to - I used to need to tune the Jettas a lot. The only drawback I have noticed is a slightly lower MPG in the Legacy, whereas I would get nearly 45+ on the Jetta I have averaged a bit above 35+ on the Legacy with similar driving conditions between now and then. Lasting impressions between the Jetta and the Legacy are both fine automobiles, I do like the Legacy much more. The lower center of gravity provided by the boxer motor, the naturally aspirated performance is much better, and the standard awd is a better bang for the buck and I think the Legacy is more eye catch than the generic Jetta.
