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.

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

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.

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.

Very nice car overall, but nothing's perfect!

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.

Very Nice Cruiser/Grocery Getter

30k on the clock with absolutely no issues. Great highway cruiser and grocery getter. Lots of features that have taken me a while to learn though. I have read the stop/start is annoying to many and it is to me as well. I just press the icon and turn it off when I start the car each time. I will be investing in a stop/start eliminator when my warranty is up (currently $99.00). It's more smooth riding than my Lexus RX 350, gets better mpg, 27 town, 33 hyw. The engine/transmission is on the loud side when accelerating. The Harmon Karden sound is great!. The navigation requires an address or scrolling through the nav menu. We usually use our phones with Google maps via bluetooth. Has built in voice recognition to set temp, heated seats, a/c and many other functions and it works fine for us. Drivers can register on the screen "settings" for seat, mirror settings, plus any other preferred settings and will be adjusted for that particular driver. Drivers seat retracts when entry and adjusts when facial recognition scans. I recommend reading the "Getting Started" manual first, it's smaller than the huge owners manual. No rattles or squeaks so far. It's a very solid feeling and driving car, with a feeling of riding on rails. The a/c is ice cold, heat is hot, with separate setting for driver and passenger. Rear passenger seats are heated, with a/c and heat vents and two usb ports. The back seats fold down 60/40 for extra room. One feature I really like are the directional headlights, they move as you turn. Bluetooth connects instantantly, 2 wired usb locations are very tight toget to. I changed the trunk light bulb to an LED bulb because the original bulb was laughably dim. The drivers seat has a section that you can pull out and extend for long legged drivers. I don't think it's real looker on the outside, but the interior is plush. After reading reviews about Subaru's philosophy they are committed to building safe, practical, sturdy and durable vehicles. BTW those that have a hate-on for the Boxer engine that is built by Subaru in Japan, I have a car sitting in my garage with a Boxer type engine that is 61 years old, with 378k miles on it and it still runs fine, has had no major engine work either. Engine oil changes are required every 6 mos. or 6k miles. Front and rear differentials fluid change at 60k miles. The cvt transmission has a chain drive not a rubber composite belt as other failing cvt's have and has lifetime fluid (I may do a 60k cvt fluid drain and fill, NOT flush though) even though some dealership apparently refuse to do it. We really are impressed with this car and hope to keep it for at least 250k reliable miles.
