Expert 2008 Subaru Legacy review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Bob Golfen
Full article
our expert's take


Subaru has to be the most schizophrenic automaker on the planet. Not a bad thing, mind you, because Subaru has managed to forge a strong identity in each of its multiple personalities.

We have the Birkenstock forest dweller, whose Outback station wagons trundle forth in such places as Maine and Oregon. Sturdy practicality, faithful durability.

Then there’s the hot-shoe rally rocket, embodied in the compact Impreza WRX models. Fast fun for youthful drivers.

Meanwhile, Subaru is endeavoring to move upmarket as a luxury brand with an emphasis on sporty performance, lush interiors and upscale features.

The most enduring constants for every Subaru are all-wheel drive, horizontally opposed “boxer” engines and a good reputation for reliability.

The Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B all seems like the place where all of Subaru’s facets come together as one. With its cumbersome name, this version of the Japanese automaker’s midsize sedan is the grownup version of the WRX, the urbane take on Outback tenacity and a credible luxury/performance car along the lines of Audi or Infiniti.

There’s also a pretty cool electronic feature, which Subaru started putting on the spec.B in 2007, that actually lets the driver choose between three levels of engine performance. Called Subaru Intelligent Drive, or SI-Drive, the system uses a console-mounted dial with an Intelligent setting, which provides the lowest torque and throttle response but the best fuel economy; Sport, which raises engine power and response; and Sport Sharp, which boosts throttle reactions and engine torque for sporty driving.

So this Subaru has its very own set of multiple personalities. It’s just hard to resist leaving in the Sport Sharp setting, allowing Legacy to show its wild side.

Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec. B

Vehicle type: Five-passenger, four-door sedan, all-wheel drive.

Engine: 2.5-liter turbocharged H-4, 243 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 241 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm.

Transmission: Six-speed manual.

Wheelbase: 105.1 inches.

Overall length: 185 inches.

Curb weight: 3,400 pounds.

EPA rating: 17 city, 24 highway.

HIGHS: Sporty drivability, luxury features, engine power.

LOWS: Conservative looks, tight interior, modest fuel mileage.

PERFORMANCE: I started out disappointed in spec.B’s performance until I tried the Sport Sharp setting, which brings this car to life. By making adjustments to the ignition timing, fuel delivery and electronic throttle response, Subaru changes the character of the turbocharged 2.5-liter opposed four from mild to muscular.

This performance model comes only with a six-speed manual, which shifts smoothly and precisely.

Fuel mileage is a bit off; I averaged 21 mpg in a mix of driving and SI-Drive settings.

DRIVABILITY: Subaru’s signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive helps Legacy maintain its nimble poise. Bilstein sport suspension and 18-inch performance tires help it stick to the road.

Strong four-wheel disc brakes come with antilock and electronic brake distribution.

STYLING: Restyled for 2008, Legacy became a fairly conservative-looking sedan. The metallic-gray paint scheme on the test car added to the effect, although the spec.B’s lowered stance, lower-sill molding and 18-inch spoke alloys signal the sporty intentions.

INTERIOR: The cabin has a premium feel throughout, with modern treatment of its leather and stainless trim. Controls are well-defined and easy to master. The standard 385-watt Harman Kardon nine-speaker audio system sounds terrific.

Back-seat space is tight, and tall drivers might find legroom skimpy.

BOTTOM LINE: A sensible/sporty/luxurious alternative to mainstream sports sedans, offered at a moderate price.

Base price: $34,595.

Price as tested: $35,780.

OPTIONS

Satellite radio, $456.

Trunk cargo net, $64.

Shipping, $665.

  • I drove my '08 Legacy for years and was so sad when she

    I drove my '08 Legacy for years and was so sad when she was totaled at 125k miles. She would've gone another 125k if she could've! I would highly recommend, especially for tall drivers like me because of the headroom. No major maintenance until about 110k when I had to replace the timing belt, radiator, power steering pump/hose, drive belts, etc., but the original head gasket stayed in great shape. She never left me stranded and I loved her. Super cool car, very reliable, practical, smooth ride with AWD and good looking, so sad she's gone!

  • Good overall car

    This is a good basic car. The best feature is of course the all-wheel-drive. We were never stuck in the snow and we always had confidence it would get us where we needed to go. As a 2.5i model, gas mileage was decent, about 28 highway and the interior was quiet and comfortable.

  • 108,000 and a great ride

    First of all there is no rust a big thing in PA. Car is tight and wants to eat up another 108,000. You can feel it in the engine. I just got this car and can't wait to AWD it in the snow. I'm tired of 2 wheeling it in 6 inches of snow up here. No drips no drops under the car. This might be one of the best cars I have ever owned:).

  • Worst car I've ever owned

    I've been driving for almost 35 years and have owned many many cars over the years and my 08' Legacy has to rank as one of the worst. I bought it in the summer of 2017 with 135k miles. I bought it mostly because I needed something AWD for the snow and ice in the winter here in Lake Arrowhead, CA. True, the AWD is an amazing feature and this car works very well in the snow but that's where everything good about this car ends. At 140k miles the head gasket blew blessing me with a $2500 bill to fix it. Next, the rear bumper began magically and mysteriously unhinging itself from it's mountings on either side of the bumper despite the fact that I've never bumped or backed this car into anything. Next, all the idiot lights on the dash began coming on for no apparent reason rendering the cruise control inoperable. I cleaned the battery terminals thinking that would help it, and it did....for about a week then it began happening all over again. Mysteriously it just went away on it's own about 3 weeks ago. The heated seats crapped out about 3 months after purchasing the car and just a few weeks ago the passenger side window motor gave up but not before leaving a 1/4 inch opening at the top allowing water and snow to get it. I can't even find the words to tell you people how much I hate this 2008 Legacy but unfortunately I still have one more year of payments to make. After that, if someone doesn't buy it, I will push it off the nearest cliff I can find.

  • Subaru Legacy GT 2008

    Awesome auto...looks super cool and it?s fast as a full grown chicken that has tasted flight for the first time. 5 speed stick shift is short and tight like a Japanese haiku. Sounds like a V8 with an aftermarket exhaust. Buy one right now
