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.

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.

Never owned or even considered a Subaru until my friend bought a Forester and I was impressed. My first impression of the Legacy was how comfortable it was. The interior is spacious and modern, the infotainment screen very accommodating, and I continually get compliments on how smooth the ride quality is. Extra perks is that it is a unique car, as I've never seen a 2023-2024 Legacy on the streets as much as I see its competitors; The cute welcome greetings you get upon entering/leaving the car; and even ways that you can customize the infotainment screen. The only issues I've experienced are that sometimes the infotainment buttons can lag upon turning the car on (usually after a couple minutes it's fine); and some Driver Eyesight features can be set off erroneously, but it's not too oppressive. In short: I love my Legacy. I had test driven a Camry, Acura Integra, and Mazda CX30, and I'm very happy with my choice.
Beautiful Car

I traded my 2017 Legacy for a 2024 model, and the new design is spectacular. It gives a nice smooth ride. I absolutely love the Apple Car Play feature.

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.

2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful
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.

Subaru 2022 Legacy Limited Quality Lost

Update.... I know this car is out there as used cars, but I would like to warn anyone thinking about buying. Since I posted the original "it's an OK car." the electronics have been a major problem. I had to fight with the dealer to have them even take the time to look at the issue with the sound system and it it's mind of it's own where it will blare with no provocation (which is bad when you are starting the car at 4AM) and the display unit that is so slow, molasses flows faster than the response from hitting a selection. That's when the display even decides to acknowledge the car is running and should be responding. The dealer finally got approval from Subaru (or so they said they were waiting for Subaru) to do a warranty replacement for the computer brains, not the display unit. They did that and it didn't help the issue with slowness and the blaring. I took the car back and nobody acknowledged there was still an issue. So, I figured it is what it is and realizing Subaru is no longer the quality product they once were.

2024 Subaru Legacy Sport 2.4 turbo best legacy yet

This is the second Legacy I have purchased. I replaced my 2016 2.5 legacy with a legacy Sport. What a difference the turbo and the sport package make. The car rides like a luxury car and has responsive acceleration it's an excellent freeway cruiser. I find the ride much more comfortable than its rivals. However, I have had excellent service from my past Subaru, and I like the Subaru philosophy" share the love" to endorse the ASPCA and make a wish foundation to mention a few. No complaints. You get a lot for your money.
