2009 Subaru Legacy Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

It has all-wheel drive which is great for snowy and icy road conditions. It also warms up pretty quickly and has heated seats. It speeds up pretty quickly so merging onto busy highways is easy. Overall, it is great to drive.

It has low mileage and has been serviced regularly. It gets me where I need to go and I have never had it break down on me. It is comfortable to drive and does particularly well on the mountains and in winter weather.

It is small but not too small, also there are four doors instead of two which allows me to fit more people in the car. It also runs well despite the fact that it is an older car. There were not many times where I had to bring the car to a repair shop due to technical difficulties.

The pros of the legacy are it has a comfortable interior, adjustable seats, hands free control on the steering wheel for radio/etc.. It also has a sunroof which is wonderful to use in the summer. It has great gas mileage and I do not have to fill up often.

The engine of any Subaru is hard to work on. Servicing tends to be really expensive and time-consuming. I would not recommend buying this car used for that reason. I have had a few minor issues with the engine, but it is so time-consuming that the labor costs are outrageous.

It is equipped with a tire pressure monitor that always shows low pressure. It is fine for everyday storage, but I prefer something that I can haul large items home from the store occasionally. It has a cracked windscreen.

It does not look as nice as I would like it to but that is due to the fact that it is a 2009. Also, I do not like the fact that the sunroof automatically rolls back when you press the button once, I would prefer it to only go as long as you are holding the button.

The cons of the vehicle are, it has consistent issues with tire pressure monitor, which have had to be replaced a few times. It also needs regular wash/maintenance because Subarus have a tendency towards rusting on the bottom.
