2009 Subaru Legacy consumer reviews

Purchased it in 2020. As been an absolute warrior. Handles snow and all rough terrain superbly. Only complaints is the radio is not easily modifiable(aux to lightning cable fixes this), the woodgrain trim is ugly looking (easy swap/ vinyl wrap). Really good car overall good for teens and older folk. (If you want more speed get better tires and 17 inch tires)

So happy I got this car. I love everything about it! Comfortable, fully loaded, drives great in the winter months and great on gas!! I love Subaru and for not a new car, this takes the cake!

The car deducts some points but in exchange for it's amazing AWD. Interior is not the spaciest but it's not "cramped" either. Great for heavy snowfall.

This car was affordable and close to what I was looking for. So far I have enjoyed driving it and will further report dependability after about 3 months of driving

I've owned all different types of vehicles and this one was amazing. Sold at 147000 miles and never needed anything but preventative maintenance items. Bought it new, beat it up, and sold it for great resale value.

bought my 2009 limited pzev 2.5i with 23k, one owner. I broke 4 wheel bearings, 2 cats (recalled), the radiator, and an oil sensor. there were 9 recalls which is a bit sketchy. I bought the car as a test really - to see if subaru's really are unbreakable, reliable, and cheap to maintain...im not exactly disappointed... the car currently has 160k of HARD miles. I purposely put a beating on this thing. I tried to get it stuck in deep snow and NOT ONCE would it get stuck. every morning hot or cold it turns right over. engine light came on one time at 150k for an oil pressure sensor ($120), but that's it. the drive train feels invincible - I literally cant break it - I see another 160k added with ease. as for reliability - anything that broke was my fault, or recalled. I think the front end is ugly, its a little long for a car, and everything about it is incredibly basic, but for an overall review I can honestly say this car is great. a little expensive for the basic features, wish I got the GT, but as reliable as they say Subaru's are. 11/10 in terms of mechanics and reliability.

After my Subaru was totaled in an accident, I wanted to replace my 2006 Legacy with one from the same era (2005-2009). I ended up purchasing a pre owned 2009 Legacy Limited and really love it. It is a much heavier car than the 2006 by 145 pounds, but it rides just as smooth. The car has a classic sports sedan style to it, and gets decent gas mileage. I wish Subaru would go back and redesign the Legacy to the more sportier, compact size of the Legacy series from 2005-2009.

IT IS VERY RELIABLE AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR. THE PRICE WAS EXACTLY WHERE I NEEDED IT TO BE AND THE PURCHASE PROCESS WAS A DREAM

The legacy special edition is a great package, it has plenty of power, it is comfortable, and it has symmetrical all wheel drive! To top it all off it is an extremely reliable car!!

Great car in the short time I have owned it. Handles well, the fit is great and the AWD was a bonus these past couple of snow storms
