My next car! Yes, the Legacy is very underrated but that’s ok. I see too many Camry’s and Accord’s and Altima’s on the road, and would rather something a little different but still reliable. I’m getting the Premium edition, but if I had the money I would get the Limited.

i just got a 2020 AND OMG its the best thing i ever had in my life.

I bought a 2021 Legacy Touring XT (turbo). There are things I really like about it like the super comfortable seats and smooth, quiet ride on the highway, strong acceleration and the Harman Kardon sound system is very nice. There are definitely things that are disappointing . At less than 1, 000 rattles started in the dash and I've had it in to the dealer three times and they can't seem to chase them down (but they do hear them). They've only gotten worse over time (11K miles now). There's also uneven acceleration at times with the turbo engine and the CVT where it doesn't seem to know what to do and has rough fake shifts. Lastly at the first oil change at 5, 000 miles the tech discovered an oil leak in the lower oil pan and apparently this is a common problem with the new 2.4 turbo. Due to the parts shortage it was in the shop for over a week. All in all after a year and a half I regret buying it. Not what I was expecting from a top trim level midsize car and I really don't trust its long term reliability now.

There is a market for quality basic transportation, something Subaru saw years ago 👍

Got a 23 Legacy sport white two weeks ago, and now it's only 300ish miles. It feels better than Camry XSE AWD, besides the exterior looking. And she got more head clearance than CX50. Powerwise, you guys know CVT takes some time to react, but good for daily driving. I tested the Camry but every dealerhas a 2.5k Markup. Accord has no AWD, and the Altima is pretty good but more outdated looking I think.

We just bought a 2020 Legacy sport and it’s a very nice car. I’m very impressed so far.

I have sat any many subarus as my dad works there and in general the cabin just feels very high end. Leather everywhere. And considering this is basically an outback in sedan form you wouldn’t be unfamiliar with this. The screen is pretty decent. Sometimes it can be laggy at times specifically the navigation system. The gauges i wish were a little different. Maybe a 7 or 8 inch display and if u wanted to be a little more bougie a fully digital one. Ive seen the sport it looks decent nothing crazy. It adds a little flare some exterior add-ons.

Midsize sedan prices have not got crazy (yet) like compact suvs. 10 years ago a Honda CRV was cheaper than a accord.

For a family car, getting one of these for under $30, 000 is a great deal in 2022

I have always “sort of” liked Subaru. But, does their research tell them their target market is old and dowdy and doesn’t like attractive vehicles. This car may be a nod to the populations that do not like wagons or hatchbacks but it looks like the Nissan Altima from two generations ago. All of their vehicles ( maybe not the STI) fall short on the design front and a good part of the purchasing decision is certainly aesthetics.

Love my new 2023 Legacy!! Thxx for showing some of the new features!

[colechapman]

The best thing it has going for it is value. AWD as standard is noteworthy

I traded in my 2017 Legacy Premium and picked up my 2023 Subaru Legacy Sport on 12/31/2022. The most interesting observation is that the Legacy Sport is a GAS HOG! I have dropped from a solid 32 mpg to 23+ mpg as my daily driver. Ouch! I have repeatedly assured that after about 10, 000 miles I should be up at about 31 mpg. Time will tell. I also made another horrifying discovery today. I finally had the opportunity to try out the S mode. What a shock! I am cruising down HWY 24 on my 30 minute drive to the grocery store on cruise control. The road, while twisty turny due to following the Arkansas river, is pretty much level. I was cruising at 50 mph and was turning about 1100 rpm. I clicked the S# button. The engine slowly and smoothly went up to 2200 rpm. I am still on cruise control. I am still running at 50 mph. It does not take a mechanical engineering genius to figure out that if 4 cylinders are firing 1100 more times per minute, you are using more fuel. Hmmmm. I did it a couple of more times to verify the result. The sports suspension is very nice on the mountain roads. The turbocharger, once it spins up, definitely pushes you down the road with significantly more vigor and does not seem to be straining itself like the 2.5 did.

Can't stand my 2022 Legacy Touring XT. The 2.4L DiT was leaking oil at 700 miles. The infotainment sucks and no matter what firmware update Subaru releases, it gets worst and worst. It freezes, glitches and stops working. The Driver Focus is as annoying as the Auto Stop Start feature. My city MPG barely hitting 17MPG. Heated steering wheel barely gets lukewarm at the 3/9 o'clock . Stock 620CCA battery is weak and always on the trickle charger. Not hating Subaru, we still own and drive 4 total in our household. Mine is the newest with the most issues.

The cloth seats are decent but at times can feel a little rough. Yes they did do a little something to enhance the design but i do agree i do wish they did more because it is pretty bland dont get me wrong. Like a box kinda. But yk some people dont wanna be the center of attention. Blending in is fine for most. Its fine for the segment

[ELP]

I do like how dominant the new grille is 👏🏾
But overall the Legacy is very underwhelming

[Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

My very first Subaru sedan!! Great job bro.

[EfraKrajo]

As an fourth gen 2009 subaru legacy GT Limited owner, the front looks nice but the rear is a shame. The fourth gen still looks better overall to me. Nice review. Regards!

[Carfan]

The official car of Vermont these are EVERYWHERE up there

[chispas]

Subaru: CHANGE THAT KEYFOB DESIGN ALREADY.

It’s an easy pass for me. 2019 is the cutoff for me since I can replace the old touchscreen with a non touchscreen and bypass the backup camera. It’s down to a 2019 forester, or outback.
