2010 Subaru Legacy consumer reviews

This is a great looking car , excellent gas mileage, AWD , Fun to Drive, I also enjoy the sunroof, and heated seats, winters in NEPA can be tough but the AWD makes life much easier. My only complaint is the climate control AC doesn't work like it should the fan stopped working causing the to overheat (my dealer didn't service it right) there is a slight engine noise when your getting on a highway no big deal. All in all I really like my car -I was thinking of trading it in on a 2014 Chevy Impala but I'd rather keep it .

Don't be fooled into buying a Subaru. Sure the AWD is convenient to have but aside from that the Legacy is a cheaply made car. Have taken the car in 3x now for a steering vibration. The dealer said everything checks out. Called Subaru Cust Service and they won't listen to my complaints. They want me to keep going back to the dealer. I hate my Subaru for other reasons: interior roof liner in the back of the car fell down, mysterious rattles inside and outside, coolant reserve tank needs continuous refills, plastic interior chrome far too reflective, sloppy and scary road handling at highway speeds and especially on windy days, CVT noisy and jerks into gear, no temp gauge. I am getting ready to dump this piece of junk Before buying a Subaru read the latest JD Powers review in initial quality. Subaru is listed near the bottom.

After extensive research, we concluded that the Legacy was the best value for our needs. Top priorities included comfort ( I am over 6 ft ), reliability, MPG, design, fun to drive. The Legacy met these needs, and the AWD is a plus. The CVT transmission is different, but I do like it after adjusting. We found a used 2.5i Limited with 29,000 miles, and have added 5,000 miles to it. The 4 cylinder matches well to the CVT. Driving to AZ, CO., average 33.5 MPG for 3,850 miles. Do try this car if you are looking for a nice sedan.

I really love this car, the wind noise is minimal, and no leaks around the windows like my old chevy cavalier did. the roomier trunk is great for hauling wheel chair. and I didn't have to put the seats down. the only draw back is that the interior of the premium only comes in black. love my cloth headed and height adjustable seats. and the handling is great on wet roads haven't had snow yet to really get a great test of the awd.

I have the 3.6R Premium. I bought the car because it was a good value for the money and Subaru is known for making a solid car that lasts a long time. Good things: Very comfortable seats, well-loaded, when I hit the accelerator hard, it has great pick-up, controls for phone, radio etc on steering wheel, excellent fit and finish. Disappointments: When I try to accelerate slowly and smoothly, the transmission whines. I hate the high pitch sound of the engine at slower speeds. A 3.6 liter 6-cylinder should have a deeper throttle sound, in my opinion. The suspension rattles and there are also rattling noises in the car that I haven't figured out yet. The horn is whimpy and sounds like it belongs on a subcompact.

bought an 07 accord in Feb 11 after my 95 maxima died, the honda rode rough, sat too low and had too much wind noise so I sold it after 6 mo. bought a 09 sonata which had a noisy suspension and sold it after 3 mo. finally got it right the 3rd time with a 2010 subaru legacy 2.5i Premium trim -has 17k mi, paid 18K for it. rides great, sits up higher, not much road noise

I put on about 45,000 miles a year, I expect my Subarus to last at least 300,000 miles, my last one went 268,000 before the transmission started to make a loud gear noise, I cannot risk a breakdown so I had to buy a replacement early, bought a 2010 with 100,000 miles on it for $13,000 and expect it to make 300,000. I love Subarus

I'm getting good mileage - over 30 mpg and a smooth ride in my subaru legacy. the new cvt transmission works well. Great 4wd vehicle

This is my 3rd Subaru. I always liked the AWD. Im getting about 34 mpg driving on the Interstate. I think thats great for and AWD Car. My only problem Ive had with my Limited has been with the stereo system. Sounds like the Disk is slowed down making a distortion sound. It does this from time to time, and the dealer is unable to duplicate. Love the heated leather seats. You can now buy replacement folding side mirrors for the 2010. Why they did not do that in first place when the 2009 model had them. Who knows.

Moving from an Audi to Subaru for the AWD, took Lagacy up to Tahoe a few times and it performs in snow as well as my A4. It is a much bigger car, but drives smaller. It is quieter & larger than Impraza, so great for family with children. Due to AWD, the handling is so much better than the comparable sized Camry, Accord, Sonata. Considered and test drove the Outback, but cannot handle the ugly rear design & the softer (SUV-like) rides. The seats in Lagacy are some of the best in the class, really comfortable, lots of adjustment, so you can go on a long trip and still feel great. Fold down seats are great - overall well executed & practical car. Only 2 minor cons: 1. bluetooth not included in the Premium package; 2. some of the light interior color trim on the seats/doors can get dirty easily. Very reliable thus far (3 months).
