We drove over to Redding from the coast just to look for one (maybe 2) trucks. We knew we wanted Toyota because well the name should explain it all. 😊 Anyway, we went to Lithia Toyota of Redding to look at a few trucks, but decided to drive around and check out other options. Ultimately, we ended up back at Lithia Toyota... Not only did we leave with one Toyota, but we left with two Toyota Tundra???s!! The sales staff that we worked with were so great and made the whole experience so positive and easy! Even when a problem did arise, I was able to call Casey and get it resolved quickly! The customer service at this dealership is amazing! They truly go above and beyond to make the customer happy!
2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Review
Reliable but Brash

The Subaru Legacy is an excellent vehicle. Subaru has nailed the practicality formula with this vehicle. It is large inside, gets excellent fuel economy, has strong mechanical components (engine, trans, AWD system), and is a perfect family vehicle, though the engine is lacking in power.
However, and this is a big, however, the Subarus are NOT built for your comfort. The seats are comfortable enough, as is the ride comfort, but the lack of refinement is alarming. The vehicle is loud, brash, and has little concern for luxury. The interior trim is cheap plastic and rough to the touch. There is very little sound deadening, a decibel meter read 79 decibels at only 50 mph, unacceptable in modern vehicles.
Reliability is something great to be concerned about, and Subaru offers an excellent package for reliability and practicality, however, the lack of concern for refinement and quality engineering, especially in todays market, is bad enough to make me sell the car.
In a modern market, reliability is something that can be found in most vehicles, but modern interiors have improved far past where Subaru is currently. Want reliability, get a Toyota. Need AWD, get a Toyota RAV4. Your comfortable bottom will thank you for it.
