The amazing all-in-one- car!
The car is great. The interiors are great. The feel is awesome. It gives you a royal feeling. It speeds very fast. It's not a small car. It has a lot of boot space. The back seats can fully fold, so you can carry hiking and other long stuff within the car combining the boot and back seat space.

Must buy! I do not know why I have never looked at Subaru before!
I love the legacy, it is sleek and sporty, but also a great family vehicle. It has an awesome touch screen in the front for controls which took some time to get used to, but I now love it. I also love the safety features that the car has. It has t bars in the rear doors which helps for extra protection if you were t boned which is important to me because I have a small child and plan to have another, so that is a feature that sold me. I love the way it drives and the safety features that are offered. Also, for a midsize vehicle it is very roomy.

2020 Subaru legacy is the perfect driving machine.
2020 Subaru legacy is the best car I have ever owned. All wheel drives works great in the snow, looks great, fun to drive and is great on gas. Back folding seat helps with added truck space. Has not given a problem since purchased over a year ago. No issues at all. Amazing customer service also.

Automatic braking when getting too close to anything going either direction.
The vehicle is brand new and only had 38 miles on it when I got it. So far there are absolutely no problems! Except, maybe, when it rains and snows, the backup camera gets covered in water and it is hard to see behind the car when backing up or to see the traffic behind you.

Auto stop / start engine stutter.
The only problem I have with this car is the auto stop/start. Everytime you come to a complete stop, the engine stops too. When you press the accelerator, it stutters a bit before going. I know its to save gas, but it gets annoying, especially on a highway.

The Subaru legacy keeps getting better and better.
Car rides great and handles well. Interior styling is excellent, comfortable and stylish. Instruments and entertainment system, including easy to use voice controlled GPS are simple to use. Eyesight and vehicle safety features are wonderful. Fuel economy and on-the-road performance is outstanding for a high-end sedan. Design and performance keep getting better (this is my 4th legacy in 15 years!).

Subaru legacy 2020: the good, the bad and the ugly.
Great car, great gas mileage, great control. Steering feels good, AWD is great for snow or rain. The eyesight features are annoying though. They don't do much for safety. There is no point in having the eyesight features in the current models as the technology isn't developed enough yet. The emergency braking activates when a car is not directly in front of me which is very annoying and can actually make the car less safe.
