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.

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.

Amazing power but terrible CarPlay

2023 Subaru Legacy Touring XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I bought this car in February, I went from a tiny civic with barely any power to a sleeper. Truly, the speed and pickup in this touring is amazing. But the CarPlay and Bluetooth is trash, literally garbage. Constantly changing its mind on working properly, disconnecting mid drive half the time. Very very frustrating. However, it seems the car will need to have software updates every so often, as that was the trouble shoot from the dealership. The seats are too comfortable, which is a good thing when you’re not exhausted. Heated and cold ventilated seats, moonroof, and lots of space for passengers who need it. Conclusion, very nice. :)

Safety features saved my son from major injures!

A guy pulled out from a side road right in front of him and he couldn't stop in time. My son was going 70 mph. (Country highway) He swerved so that he wouldn't hit him but it happened too fast to not hit the guy. After my son hit the guy he slid into the pole on the side and then into the culvert. When the car hit the pole, the side air bags immediately popped open and kept him safe from getting hurt. The car is totaled, but my son is safe. No injuries. No whiplash, no cuts, no broken bones, nothing. The police officer was in disbelief that he was okay considering how bad of shape the car was. Praise God for Subarus. Getting him another.

2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

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.
