One of the Nicest Cars That No One Talks About.

2012 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium PZEV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

This car is about as practical as you can get. AWD doesn't sacrifice MPG & comes in handy in snow. It's not flashy, but it looks nice, esp. w/tinted windows. My mechanics love Toyota & Lexus mechanically, but recommended the Legacy, it won me over. Got a good price, a little over $22K, practically 0% financing & Costco cash card. The PZEV reduces smell when starting up in the garage. Heated mirrors, wipers & seats in the Premium model. Rocker panel lights up when doors open. Hazard light button placed pefectly so when you shift the car to Park, just depress w/index finger. Little stuff that no one talks about, but it's been thought out. It's really a nice car that doesn't draw headlines.

I came out of an SUV into a Subaru for fuel economy. While there are many good car choices in this class (Fusion, Accord, Altima) the driver seat comfort and AWD won me over. After 4500 miles the new car thrill is gone and I have a car that I like driving, is reliable, and gets good mpg's. The decision to buy a new car is personal and I'm not knocking any other cars, as there are some great choices. But this car works for me and I'd recommend it to a friend.

I always feel this is one of those less talked about cars in the market. I own this year for more than an year now and extremely happy with the performance. Subaru's AWD delivers when needed in snow driving conditions and I feel safe when coming to abrupt stops on icy roads.
Perfect

This review may now jinks me, but my 2012 base model Subaru Legacy 2.5i has literally had zero problems. I have had 2 minor part recalls but not one breakdown in my 103k miles. The only things that have occurred with age is a small rattle that has developed when I accelerate at a very specific rate (not too fast, not too slow) and the seat cushion/lumbar support on the driver's side has lost it's loft. The passenger side seat cushion feels much better. Also worth noting, I am not an overly heavy individual (5' 10", 180) so I expect the cushion to hold up better than it has. But if a rattle and some seat cushion support loss is all I have to complain about, then that's pretty amazing! This is my first Subaru and I am beyond impressed.
