Greatest drive EVER!

This car drives like a dream! I am so pleased with everything about it! It just feels solid and everything, including the heated seats, works better than any car we have ever had.

Rides quiet and drives smooth

This is the best car that I have ever owned. It has many safety features. I got the Eyesight package. I can follow another vehicle on the turnpike or any where without touching the gas or brake. I just have to steer.

Switched to Subaru and will never go back!

Bought our 2017 Legacy in Sept. 2016 and have put 24,000 miles on it already. We?ve taken several cross-country trips and have found our Legacy more comfortable than our previous luxury car. We have also found it great for short local trips. Great fuel economy and plenty of power to get on interstates. We are so impressed with our Legacy we just bought a 2018 Outback. Another great car.

Best Decision I've Ever Made

This car is very reliable. I can definitely say I feel safe driving this car in any weather condition. Very good mileage for where I live and how much I drive. The inside is comfortable. I love how I can connect the bluetooth to my phone and can answer or make calls through the phone. I don't have to look through my phone or hold my phone while driving; it makes it so much easier. I love how it can connect to my pandora or any of my music on my phone. I love the automatic/manual settings on the car. The trunk has definitely enough space for me to place things, especially to go onto a couple hours trip. For me being a short person, it definitely makes it feel like if it is a perfect car for me. It adjusts to my height and definitely spacious.

The V6 Legacy is Awesome

I own and am reviewing only the six cylinder version of the '17 Legacy, the extra power removes all the short comings of the four cylinder and elevates it to 5 stars. this is my second V6, I previously owned and traded a 2012. my mileage in both has been consistency in the mid 30's on the highway, I usually average 430 miles per unleaded regular, have heat or air when needed, and quick acceleration at the same time. my V6 meets all my needs.

A real surprise.

Went car shopping to replace Mom's 15-year-old Volvo S80. Looked at the new S90 and Mom could not see over the hood. Stopped at the local Subaru dealer on the way home and she loved the Subaru Legacy 3.6R. (She liked the 4-cylinder, too, but I like the growl and pep of the 3.6.} The 7.5 in screen could be a bit bigger, but overall this is a terrific and above all safe car. And you can get two of them for the replacement cost of the Volvo.
