"Always a Subaru Owner"
Comfortable, good mileage and running great. The interior space is great and like a spacious cabin for me since my care is my second home. Safety is important for me too and that another thing why I chose Subaru Legacy. Love the blue tooth audio.

Reliable but Brash
The Subaru Legacy is an excellent vehicle. Subaru has nailed the practicality formula with this vehicle. It is large inside, gets excellent fuel economy, has strong mechanical components (engine, trans, AWD system), and is a perfect family vehicle, though the engine is lacking in power. However, and this is a big, however, the Subarus are NOT built for your comfort. The seats are comfortable enough, as is the ride comfort, but the lack of refinement is alarming. The vehicle is loud, brash, and has little concern for luxury. The interior trim is cheap plastic and rough to the touch. There is very little sound deadening, a decibel meter read 79 decibels at only 50 mph, unacceptable in modern vehicles. Reliability is something great to be concerned about, and Subaru offers an excellent package for reliability and practicality, however, the lack of concern for refinement and quality engineering, especially in todays market, is bad enough to make me sell the car. In a modern market, reliability is something that can be found in most vehicles, but modern interiors have improved far past where Subaru is currently. Want reliability, get a Toyota. Need AWD, get a Toyota RAV4. Your comfortable bottom will thank you for it.

Powerful. Commanding on hills, snow
Very good if you live in the snow or in the mountains or hills. Subaru has truly mastered the symmetrical 4wheel system. Can’t go wrong with it. And this car still gets the same gas mileage as it’s compe like Camry and accord of same years who don’t have the extra stuff like the 4wd.

Worst steering car I have ever driven or owned.
Our Subaru Legacy required constant steering wheel corrections on the road. After 5 trips to the service department and 3 of those with Subaru reps I learned, from the final visit with the territory service manager, there is no fix for Steering Wander on this brand. Subaru on this model (maybe all) has no Caster Adjustment in regard to alignment. Caster is what helps a car steer and track straight. Without that adjustment the car tends to wander which requires constant work with the steering wheel. I was told Subaru has a certain amount of USA market and there are complaints about the problem but not enough for them to invest in correcting it. Online I found many others complaining about this also. As a high mileage driver this was tiring. My wife even complained about this cars steering shortly after getting it. Other than the steering it would have been an acceptable car for my purposes.

My Alcyone, my friend
Needed a four wheel drive for long distance, and friends suggested a Subaru. It has been comfortable, ergonomic, dependable, and fun. Snow season is now a hold my beer situation, instead of praying for safe passage. Will be buying another.

Recent unexpected repairs
Enjoyed my Legacy until recently. With only 65,000, a few weeks ago I had to have my front lower control arm bushings replaced for $500+. Not very happy at all. I have had some pretty bad cars when I was younger and never these replaced. I don’t understand how this can happen I’m a Quality Car. That was in addition to having my headlights replaced at $80+ each. Today I had to have my Legacy towed to the Dealership because a number of lights appeared on my my Dash including the Check Engine light which is never a good sign. Now I have to wait to hear from the Dealership to see much this new repair will cost. Not a great way to end the year or enjoy the Holidays. Really not enjoying my Legacy very much now with all of these repairs with only about 65,000 miles. 😭😳👎

My next car will also be a Subaru.
This car is awesome. It's so smooth in it's ride. And the price was great. The styling is a little vanilla but the interior is not.

Perfect Colorado Car Purchase
I love this car and have wanted a Subaru for years! Within the first two (2) weeks of having this used car (new to me), we went camping, transported bicycles in the trunk, hiking, etc. We are able to comfortably transport five (5) people plus groceries/supplies in the giant trunk. Driving a reliable vehicle, in any weather, is key!
