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.

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.

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.
