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.

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.

2024 Subaru Legacy Sport 2.4 turbo best legacy yet

Tony, 02/25/2024
2024 Subaru Legacy Sport 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

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.

Clearcoat/Paint trouble

I just bought this car in January and the clearcoat/paint is defective. Took it to my local body shop and was told the entire car needs painted. It's not acid rain as my new car is parked next to my 2012 Legacy and my daughter's 2014 Ford Escape and there is no problem with their clearcoat/paint.

Great ride

I spent a fair amount of time comparing sedans in this class. I chose the Subaru because the cabin fit (I'm tall and don't fit in any of the vehicles with moon roofs. After eliminating those this model had the best trim package/cabin fit combo for me.) The sales staff was very friendly, no pressure at all. The price was great and the car looks very stylish. The rear seats fold down, providing more storage width than others in this class. This is my first Subaru, looking forward to many years with it.
