"I've been driving SUVs since 1993. This is a car for my daughter but since she's not 16 yet, I get to drive it! It has amazing pick up, rides like a dream and is very roomy given the fact it is a compact sedan. My brother bought one for his kids and I went off of his judgement. My daughter LOVES this car and it now has me thinking I will most likely be moving to a cross over or something definitely built on a car chassis; I'd even consider a newer model Subaru Legacy for msyelf down the road!!"

"Great car!! I bought it for my daughter due to all wheel drive and high safety ratings. Bought it used for $13800 with only 14000 miles which is a great buy compared to others in it's class."

"I have a 2009 Legacy and I Love it. The seats could be more comfortable and I definitely want leather next time. (the seats get dirty easily) I find the exterior styling to be understated and attractive. The interior is very clean and functional. The Harmon/Kardon sound system sounds rich and is a nice feature. It can drive through any weather, the awd system works flawlessly. This car is amazing in the snow, I don't think I could get this car stuck if I tried! The peace of mind I get, knowing I can get from A to B without having to worry, makes this car great!"

"DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!! This is by far the worst car I have ever owned. The transmission shifts so roughly that the entire car lurches - I have had it into the dealership twice and they insist that everything is fine. The seats are so uncomfortable that my back kills by the time I arrive at work. The interior is cheap and looks worn after only a few weeks. I purchased it because I wanted an AWD car and the price was reasonable, but I regret it every time I step foot into the car!"

"i have a brand new 2009 legacy pzev. Driving it is not bad, it has the 5 spd manual gearbox. The only problem is this cars a lemon. after about 2500 miles the check engine light came on along with the traction control off light and the cruise control was blinking at me. I took it for the 3000 mile service and they told me that once one of them comes on then all 3 of them go on. So i said ok and left. For about 30 miles everything was fine, then they came back on not even an hour after i left the dealer.Everybody sitting in the backseat complains about it being uncomfortable. This car even in the drivers seat is not good for long drives, the seats are way too firm. So now at 9300 miles all the lights are still blinking at me even after the 8000 mile service. 2 of my electricity outlets in the car don't work. On some of my cd's the back 2 speakers and the sub don't work (harmon kardon stereo). Also i have an oil leak which has happened 3 times. The car also stalls sometimes when i come to a complete stops even when i'm not in gear, and when the car idles it shakes uncontrollably and gets very annoying. The good things about this car that i can list are that the car handles great, it is very peppy though it won't win many drag races. Pretty good gas mileage almost 30 on the highway about 22-23 around town. The sound system is awesome when it works. Breaks are good. and that's about it. This would be a great car if it wasn't a lemon that's why i recommend it to other buyers, because i seem to be the only one having these problems."

"I went from a large American coupe which I loved to the Legacy GT Ltd. I wanted something a bit smaller and quicker as I live and travel in and out of the city these days. The LGT is a sleeper and a bona-fide sports sedan. The paddle shifters are a blast on twisty and hilly roads. The 243 horse boxer engine is sweet and easy to tune up to 290 hp with a "chip" and performance exhaust upgrade. The center armrest sits low, one can purchase an extender for a hundred bucks - it's worth it. Great in the curves and the three position SI drive feature is really a treat. The safety ratings are great- air bags all around. I don't have passengers often, so the back seat area being a bit snug is not an issue. The symmetrical AWD, traction control, ltd. slip differential and vehicle stability make this car a cut above. What you get for the money is outstanding. The gas mileage is only ok at 23-24 combined, but the trade off is worth it. The GT should be fed with 91 octane as well, especially if you like to "get on it.""

"I owned an 05 Legacy Sedan and traded it on an 07 Legacy Wagon. I have had the 07 since Feb of 07 and both cars have been great. I wish they still made the wagon because its a great value. The car is very fun to drive, comfortable for long trips, zero problems, plenty of aftermarket support, and you can even take it to the track for some fun! I recommend getting an aftermarket grill w/o the wings it looks much better and upgrading the tires. The factory tires are awful...discount tire compared them to cardboard with grooves. The best part is the resale value and it isn't like every other car on the road...oh and AWD rules with the snow we have had! Great car, I'll likely get a 3rd when the new model comes out in 2010"

"Leased a 2.5SE about 3 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Spent a long time researching and definitely made the right choice. For 23K you get moonroof, AWD, XM radio, Leather interior, VDC, 385 Watt HK stereo and the list goes on. The interior is 90% covered with soft touch materials and looks and functions great. The interior is at least 10K better than its price. Early mileage has been mid 20's in 50-50 driving. Only criticism would be slightly snug cabin and a little short on storage for small items up front."

"we got in one of these and hated it but as the test drive went on we like it more and more, but sadly not enough. the seats arent the most plush and are pretty darn firm. but we like how the car had good pick up and superb handeling but the rear seat was cramped and our 5'2" daughter didnt like it one bit over all though the car is nice and things are where they should be. but in the end we ended up driving home in a 2009 Forester. its funny how things work out"
