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.

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. Update: 38K miles.Our 2023 Legacy Limited still performs well. The infotainment electronics are still laggy at times though. BTW I installed a Stop/Start Eliminator ($100.00, easy install, 10 minutes via YouTube), no more remembering to press that little button everytime and it works flawlessly. It made a big, positive difference for us. The 2.4L na has adequate power getting the same mpg on our road trips. No rattles or squeaks have developed. I've customized my settings to fit our needs, turned down the alarm volume, finaly found the setting to turn off the volume of the radio when navigating via built in GPS. TomTom navigation had bit of a learning curve. We were to saying, "Navigate to, when using our phones, instead, TomTom requires you to say "Find", (using an address, or a particular business). Our local Subaru Dealership (only one in our city) is typical as most dealerships and always wants to add "recommended services", as apposed to "required services". I follow the manufactors' service schedule, the exception being the CVT service. I will have a "drain (only) and fill" service at 60k. Always remember, when taking your car in to any dealership for service, the "Service Advisors" are all on a paid commission. They are usually not mechanics or Service Technicians. They are salespeople. We're still very pleased with our Legacy and continue to enjoy our trips, whether to the store or on a road trip.

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.

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.

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.
