Clean, smooth drive with a luxurious feel while being affordable and safe.
My Subaru legacy offers a comfortable a clean drive. The technology is user friendly and the safety features are rated the highest in the industry. My vehicle feels high end without the luxury price tag. Also one of the only all wheel drive sedans in the market!

My vehicle is the perfect safety measurement.
I am in love with my car. It has the perfect safety percussions. I can use my phone through my car without needing to turn on my phone. It had amazing gas mileage. And, alerts me when I am low on gas, along with asking if I would like to find nearby gas stations. It alerts me to cars near me, when I am stopped it alerts me to when the car ahead of me moves.

Subaru legacy sport is the safe, affordable sedan that feels like luxury.
Subaru reliability - handles all weather flawlessly. Has the comfort of a luxury vehicle. The features are enough to make it feel comfortable but not over the top. The trim package of the sport makes it feel like a sports car. The technology of the car, between the touch screen and the lane assist are wonderful for ease of use and safety.

I love my third Subaru legacy sport.
The only problem I have had with this specific car is the apple carplay does not always connect. I also sometimes have problems with the USB port. My previous years did not have this issue. The car drives wonderfully and I feel safe in it. I love the eyesight feature. It really helps with safe driving. It is my 3rd legacy.

Comfort, reliability, and a joy to drive sums up my Subaru legacy.
My Subaru legacy is comfortable and trustworthy. Driving is a joy. I live in a mountainous area and the legacy takes the curves extremely well. The care drives well in snow and ice. I am able to sync my android phone with my car. Great Bluetooth capacity.

The Subaru legacy comfortable spacious vehicle that grips the road.
The car is a 6 cylinder and has a lot of power. The controls on the steering wheel are convenient. The car has a backup camera eyesight in the front it alerts you if you go over the white line the side view mirrors alert you if there was is somebody in your blind spot or coming up quickly on either side. All of these safety features I find help driving on the highway. The only thing I have found I am not a hundred percent happy with is the heating and cooling system. It heats and cools but I find that if I want the car very warm I have to set the temperature very high.

Blind spot detection
Just traded in a 2012 Subaru Legacy for the 2019 model. Love the AWD that all Subarus have. The 2019 has back-up camera

Stylish and affordable with better than average performance.
Great looking vehicle with great performance (AWD) at an affordable price compared to other competition. Subaru is definitely an underestimated type of vehicle; you not only get what other vehicles get but more performance for the same price. I currently lease, however I would definitely want to own one of these at some point. Very comfortable with great safety features such as the auto-detect slow or stop when on cruise control. There is also, a lane departure feature that will bring you back into your lane. I do not use this feature much but I guess it would be a huge help for those on long road trips. Overall, great stylish, safe and quality vehicle for all ages including pet accessories specialized for Subaru.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Heather L.

My car is Comfortable, roomy, and gets good gas mileage. It has excellent safety features like lane assist and automatic braking. You can connect your phone for radio or hands free calls. The seats are heated and fully adjustable. It overall a very good car.

likeFilled Vanessa T.

Pros of The Subaru Legacy is that it has mention sensors, and it is an all wheel drive car which makes it great to drive during the snow and bad weather. When one is driving it motions when you passed the road lines and when you are approaching a car at a fast speed which makes the car a very safe vehicle. Another great feature it has are the rear camera. This vehicle is extremely strong and reliable.

likeFilled Elizabeth A.

Comfortable, perks, good price. Nice color easy to care for. Nice ride over long distances. Technology to use Bluetooth and listen to music on phone, and make phone calls and get directions for places I go.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Heather L.

There is not a parking assist or alarm to help. The floor mat does not stay in place which is dangerous and annoying. The windows have a sparkle which makes it difficult to see in bright sunlight or with rain and reflections. There are no middle hooks for a car seat. It is doesn't have great pick up speed and tends to rev noisily when first started.

dislikeFilled Vanessa T.

One of the cons of the Subaru Legacy which is the most important Aspects I complained about when I first purchased the car is that it does not have a sound alarm for the rear camera. Meaning when you are getting close to another vehicle while parking the Subaru vehicle does not beep as an Alarm to alert that one is getting close to the other vehicle.

dislikeFilled Elizabeth A.

The cost, hard to find stuff to not like about it. Could have more technology. When it rains hard, the driving technology turns off, it seems like that is the right time when you need the driving technology.

26,000 for that car it is a decent cost for a new car and the car is very dependable. So I would pay a lot of money for a Subaru.

The lowest is 22000 to 32000. Depends on what you get. I think it is worth it because you don't have issues and it is dependable.
