Great car to buy for family

Standard all-wheel drive in a segment, excellent outward visibility; high-tech safety features work well and are widely available throughout the lineup; top crash test scores. stiffer ride (except Legacy Limited) than many competitors. A new Legacy is Reverse Automatic Braking, which is added to the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology package.

Close to a Volvo, to me.

This car meets all my needs, especially I wanted a car that provided the modern safety features of warnings and protections. Excellent vehicle in all respects.

This car is a pleasure to drive.

This car handles better than any car I have owned. It is also the safest vehicle I have owned. With all wheel drive, eyesight forward collision system and other systems. It has been a great car

Sold on a SUBARU

This is the first Subaru we have purchased and it surpassed all my expectations. We have been loyal customers to different car company for over 30 years but this car has changed our opinion, as a great bang for our money.

best car I have ever owned

I consider it a luxury sedan. It has latest technology for safety.and listening pleasure and the ride is so quiet you can carry on a conversation at normal speaking volume.

Best Bang for your buck

This car meets all the needs of my family and then some we didn't even know we needed. The safety, creature comforts, and value of this car blew my mind. We purchased it used, currently has 7k miles but it feels like a 2018 model. The greatest feature was the value. The amount of features this car has with its price tag is unbeatable. We have a full size sedan that is all wheel drive and can almost drive itself, with the Subaru Eyesight, for less than what it would cost on a new fully loaded Toyota Camry that doesn't have all the features of the Legacy. The only downfall I would give it is the acceleration from a stand still. It is not horrible but it is a little sluggish. I would have liked to have purchased one with the v6 option but I would have lost some MPG. Right now I am averaging 30MPG driving 40mi round trip for work. We get about 540 miles to a tank (18.5 gallons) and it is amazing!

Safest car I owned

The legacy is the most dependable and safest car I owned.And really enjoy driving it. It handles very good on the road. Plus the comfort you feel when driving it.
