"Recently purchased a pre-owned 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i 6 speed. I needed to get a 4 door car for a new job where I do sales in order to receive a car allowance. I was driving a 2007 Honda Civic LX Coupe 5 speed which I loved. I figured I'd look for a larger car since the Civic was on the small side. I chose the Legacy after considering a lot of different cars, 4 Door Civic, Accord, Camry, Maxima, CC, Forester etc... I liked the Legacy's standard AWD since I have a tight schedule and manage a territory in Wisconsin which has some bad winter days and missing appointments due to weather doesn't make me happy. After owning the car for a few weeks now and driving through some really nasty weather I now believe the hype. This car is a rock star in snow. Aside from that is handles well for a car it's size and it's ride quality is very high with very little road noise. The car is not fast by any means. Lowest marks will be for stand still acceleration but aside from that I have no complaints since I wasn't expecting much there to begin with and it is decent for on-ramp, merging and passing speed. All in all a great value vehicle for those looking for a high quality, high value car."

"I had my legacy for a little over 2 years now and so far no problems at all. The car has more than 27000 miles now so I can say the car is reliable. I just do the regular maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.). I had the brakes cleaned and lubricate a few weeks ago and the warranty covered it. Good gas mileage for an all wheel drive. I`m getting 29.7miles/gallon (30%city/70%highway driving). Roomy interior, can`t go wrong with this car. Price is reasonable compared to other competitors."

"Great car. I wish all car makers would start putting a rear window wiper in all vehicles. That would be my only complaint. Extra comfy. I just got 35 MPG on a trip. Pretty good for all wheel drive!! I'm getting 29 to 31 around town. Lots of zip. Way too many gadgets- back up camera, gps, bluetooth, etc. My first Subaru but the reports sound like I will have it for a long time."

"This for anybody who is considering to by a similar class sedan: 1) read full tech review. It is way more advanced than accord/camry/others (awd, boxer engine, CVT) for smaller price 2) it has more space inside than any other similar sedans (compared with accord and camry). It is quieter than camry without a question. Some reviewers said it gives a bit more road noise than accord - personally, this is the quietest car I owned. I drive 80-90 mph on a high way and everybody can hear me if I whisper (not jokin, we tried) 3) DO NOT GET SCARED OF THE MPG. You may see camry and accord's mpg to be slightly higher, but realize that it is AWD (for which it has a PHENOMINAL mpg). 2-3 gallons of difference are nothing compared to how amazing this car is in rain/snow/ice. With all its weight it handles BETTER than my mom's tiny civic 2011 4) Safety: knee air-bags??? Curtain side air-bags??? really, there is nothing safer out there than this car. Besides, it can handle a tank weight on its roof (in case God forbid you roll over) Bottom line: This car is for you if you are looking for Japanese reliability, unbelievable handling, comfort and style inside, unique look outside, and want to save couple of thousand by passing on camry/accord. I don't know how you can walk away from this car. I didn't and I am very happy!"

"Best Car I've ever owned. Hands down! I've mostly owned Honda's, and Subaru has stolen my heart. I'd like to note that the GT does better than sticker advertised gas mileage. I average 25 mpg, and have gotten up to 33mpg highway. Great power, fun to drive, TONS of room, rides like a caddy. You won't regret a legacy."

"The Legacy with the 3.6 (6 cyl) engine is a very nice car and an excellent value. The engine is super quiet, and has excellent power and acceleration - all on regular gas (we are getting 28mpg highway). The main drawback: the continuously variable transmission is poor, with significant pause and then 'jerk' in quick acceleration situations - you really have to use the manual shifting feature in such cases. Ride is good but nothing like the BMWs I've owned previously (I favor cornering over softness). As an AWD performance sedan it's not the equal of the audi's we've owned, but is a much better value with MUCH better reliability."

"I got my Legacy slightly used with only 4200 miles on it. I think this is the best car I've ever owned!!! I couldn't be happier with my decision. The interior is beautiful with the black leather and the seats are extremely comfortable. The ride is smooth and quiet and the power is amazing. The engine shifts through gears so smooth you don't even notice unless you keep an eye on the RPM's. If you even have a hint of buying this car, please do yourself a favor and BUY IT!! This is the best mid sized car out there, believe me, I looked around."

"I've only had my new Legacy for 4 months but I still love it. I traded in a large SUV for better gas mileage and it has been fantastic. The CVT transmission is smooth except when letting off the gas and then getting back on it. Feels a little strange but I may not be used to the CVT yet. I'm anxious to get it out in some snow. We live back a long and steep lane so I cant wait to see how the car handles it."

"This 2011 Subaru Legacy I just got is the best car I ever owned. It has some amazing featers. Check out some of these featers. Awd, air conditoning, sun roof, of corse you no what I mean by grat featers. Thats not even half of the featers. I dident lease this car beacause it was to good to giveup. I like it so much more than that 2004 toyota maytrix. A nother reason I got this car was its safty was over the top on my list. It has comforte like a luxery car."
