2023 Subaru Legacy Consumer Reviews

Disappointed
Although this car drives nice and has many nice features especially a big screen to view all applications, there are some flaws. First the driver's door fit is not fit very well. You must firmly shut it which in my previous Subaru was not the case. The rear window defogger is anemic at best and does not clear ice or snow but merely a fogged window. The door opener does not work unless the car is on which in the previous model, it was powered all the time. The car is not as quiet in the cabin as my previous model. The trunk opener is improved and opens all the way when you use the remote. The heated seats are warmer, and the gas tank opens much better than the previous model.

Bill Kolb Custom Legacy
Can’t say enough about this vehicle. This is my sencond Legacy and I have no need to search for another car.
Get the Sport Trim
Coming from a WRX that I’ve had for 9 years, I was looking for better ride, interior comfort etc. I tried a premium Legacy but that base engine didn’t do it for me. The Sport really feels like a big sedan with big power and has updated handling without the stiffness. It’s quiet and composed. I can’t find any flaws at this time. Purchased for mid $30’s and with all the extras so to speak, I feel like this is a bargain luxury car. The only thing it doesn’t have is leather seating but has that combo fake leather and cloth. I find them to be extremely comfortable. Love the interior as well.

WRX for those over 50
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.

Great car....but
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.
