I love the car.

I really enjoy almost everything about the car. It drives well, good features, good mileage for AWD. I wish the body was not so low to the ground ( easy to scrape on curbs etc ) but I want a sedan and it seems all sedans now are low like this one nowadays.

Modern safety features with great style

Talk about a sleek car with available iSight camera system that helps ensure the safety of everyone in the vehicle. Comes with adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. Automatic braking to avoid front end collion. Reverse camera with automatic braking and sensors to alert you of oncoming objects usually not in your immediate view when reversing. The day time running lamps are the sharpest looking thing on the road, I prefer them over my BMW LED day time running lamps. In terms of comfort you have all premium leather heated seats with a wood grain front panel that gives off a modern style. Steering wheel paddle shifters with AWD give you superb control. Keyless entry and push to start engine means you can quickly get in and go! Has the new shark fin antenna that flows with the vehicle. Automatic on/off headlamps and awesome fog lamps that individually turn on when making a turn to increase your visibility of the immediate low ground road which allows you to dodge every pothole.

Happier with my Legacy more than any previous cars

I love the look, performance, features, comfort and reliability. I have owned VW's, Ford Pinto, Audi Fox, Honda Accord, Toyota Tercel, Chevy Malibu, Chevy Impala and a 1942 Pontiac that was a gift from an old neighbor who went into a Nursing Home in 1964. I had the most fun in the '42 but my Legacy is by far the nicest car I have ever owned.

Reliable. Affordable. Excellent utility.

Amazing sedan for the snow! Drives well. Great features. Really the only thing that’s missing for me is the automatic lock once the car is in drive and moving. You have to remember to lock the doors. Otherwise, I love it!

This car is a unicorn

I owned the Legacy 3.6r limited edition. I bought it new when the next year was coming out. If you can find one that way you have found a unicorn! They hold their value! Excellent car, I wish I still had it.

Gets better every day I drive it. Feel very safe

Previously owned a 2007 Acura RL. My Subaru Legacy 3.6R gives me more performance and a smoother ride. Has every feature I wanted. The Eyesight safety feature is awesome. Other cars I test drove did not come close. So impressed we purchased a new Subaru Impreza for our Grandaugher with Eyesight. Previously owned Honda products.

Same as a 1970 ford pinto

Noisiest car ive ever been in ! Under powered and way over priced. I hate it! Reminds me of my brothers pinto back in the 70'S

I'll Never Own Anything But A Subaru

This is my second Subaru. I never expected that I would be able to afford one, but the prices were reasonable - even better than most comparable vehicles. The ride is exceptional, especially in inclement weather. It is the most luxurious ride for this size car and I still can't believe it is only 4 cylinders! Once you test drive a Subaru you won't want to drive anything else.

comfortable, good acceleration for a 4 cylinder

great gas mileage, rides like a luxury car on only 4 cylinders, hugs the road with all wheel drive, comfortable on long drives and around town, reliable. i expect to own it for 10 years/100K without major problems.
