Amazing power but terrible CarPlay

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. :)

I'm a one car guy so I'm always looking for the perfect do everything car and I can never find it. Did I find it here? No, but it's got a lot of good things going for it. I have the Sport, and anytime I need to squirt into traffic, i click into the S# and it helps with responsiveness and acceleration. The rest of the time it's just a really relaxed ride. The engine is never stressed. It's easy to drive. The features are all pretty good. I wish I could have opted for ventilated fronts and heated rears as part of some package. There's a lot of little details that are nice like each rear passenger gets 3 pockets behind the front seats. Legroom is generous. As the driver i have a nice padded area for my right knee. The comfort is really good. I wish it was a little more quiet in the cabin, and I wish it had a little more noise out of the exhaust. This thing is an absolute beast in the snow. I wish it was a little better in some respects, but it's really good in so many for the price that it's hard to justify buying an A4 or a TLX in my opinion. I lusted after those other cars, but the value here from the legacy is just off the charts.

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.

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.

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.
