Best family sedan made!

This car does and has everything a family could ask and hope for in a sedan. Handles like a dream, amazing gas mileage with extra large fuel tank, the best performing set of safety features out there, very comfortable interior with the best overall design and feel of any car we have ever owned. Top performer in rain, snow and ice. Very nice classy design which somehow still has a sporty feel to it as well. So glad we made this choice. No looking back!

Excellent vehicle

This is my 4th Subaru purchased. This 2016 Legacy Limited is no different than any others I purchased.....excellence and dependability. It is very comfy and I get people telling me how beautiful it is with regularity. The ride is excellent, there is some slight road noise but I have come to expect that with Subaru. It is not a game changer by any means.

Most comfortable, reliable, good gas mileage AWD

Legacy is the most comfortable AWD car one could imagine in this segment that is reliable for any weather with a good gas mileage despite the all wheel drive. I used to average between 29 and 32 with mixed local roads and highway driving and 35 to 36 on highways that is really a great gas mileage for a car of this size. The ride quality is quite cushy although a little more cushier tuning would make the ride lot better in broken roads. I have no complaints and I owned this car close to 30,000 miles and enjoyed driving it everyday. Variable transmission keeps the driving smooth. If Subaru can pack the wheel wells with sound proof material, this car would feel more like a luxury car

3.6... Wow!

I bought the 3.6 Tim, and I love it. The engine's 256 hp is very well built. I accelerate and the car takes off. It's deceptively quick. You can't beat the safety features of a Subaru! Steel framing around the car, eye sight features, excellent brakingThe indoor styling is luxurious and I find the controls easy to use. The infotainment system is pretty cool.

Love my Subaru

I purchased the 6 cylinder model with Eyesight and I absolutely love it! It is luxurious with soft, smooth leather. It is spacious with folding seats. It is modern with all the latest technology. But, most important, IT IS SAFE!!!

Replacing 1992 Legacy

Wife totaled 1992 Legacy in 1993 and walked away. This 2017 is equally fun to drive with plenty of room for taller people. All the electronic toys are neat but not easy to find your way around, but I am slowly learning to use and enjoy them.
