I'm a one car guy so I'm always looking for the perfect do everything car and I can never find it. Did I find it here? No, but it's got a lot of good things going for it. I have the Sport, and anytime I need to squirt into traffic, i click into the S# and it helps with responsiveness and acceleration. The rest of the time it's just a really relaxed ride. The engine is never stressed. It's easy to drive. The features are all pretty good. I wish I could have opted for ventilated fronts and heated rears as part of some package. There's a lot of little details that are nice like each rear passenger gets 3 pockets behind the front seats. Legroom is generous. As the driver i have a nice padded area for my right knee. The comfort is really good. I wish it was a little more quiet in the cabin, and I wish it had a little more noise out of the exhaust. This thing is an absolute beast in the snow. I wish it was a little better in some respects, but it's really good in so many for the price that it's hard to justify buying an A4 or a TLX in my opinion. I lusted after those other cars, but the value here from the legacy is just off the charts.

2022 Legacy touring XT

I haven’t had it long enough to review “dependability” so this is more of a “first impression/ 500 mile review”. Pros: Interior - I love the Napa leather The big screen for the entertainment system is nice I like having the physical buttons to adjust the temperature outside of the entertainment screen Very little road noise Visibility is good Seats our very comfortable POWERTRAIN/FUEL MILEAGE/DRIVING EXPERIENCE - Handling is fantastic Good power/acceleration with the turbo charged engine. 0-60 in around 6 seconds. Adaptive cruise control with lane assist work great. I’m averaging about 28 miles per gallon driving about 85% freeway and 15% city The ride is SUPER smooth even over roads that are in desperate need of maintenance. CONS - My biggest complaint is probably that the back up camera is no better then a $200 aftermarket backup camera. I would think that in 2022 the top model of the legacy would have a birds eye view camera (my 2017 Nissan has it) but at the very least a higher quality back up camera. Along those same lines, the front camera is terrible! It’s a grainy/pixilated looking image. I know “first world problems” but I just expected more out of a car this luxurious in many other ways. A close 2nd on my biggest complaints is that I wish there was a way to permanently disable the auto start and stop along with the eyesight that watches the driver. It’s not hard to do but it’s annoying that I have to do it every time I turn off the car and restart it. And at number 3 and last on my list on biggest cons… This one is mind blowing to me. In what universe does a car manufacturer get to 2022 and not put a automatic start button on the key fob? They must have thought “Instead, let’s put it in a mobile app (with a subscription) so our consumers get to navigate through the apps on their phones, open the app, take a semester in computer software engineering to learn how to set up everything and wait for our app to open and load every time so that they can automatically start their cars”??? So now I can start my car from another country, unlock it and adjust my heated seats and climate controls but I can’t push a button on my key fob and start it from 10 feet away?? Who was the genius??? I literally can have a aftermarket system to start my 1956 bel air with my key fob but not in a 2022 legacy, no way….. I digress. Now to my complaints that are just me trying to be picky…. The delay on acceleration from a stop leaves a little to be desired but definitely not terrible. I, personally, do not like the stock wheels but I could be the oddball there since one of the first thing my wife mentioned was the “fancy wheels” There is no automatic start button on the key fob. Oh did I already say that? Yeah, well it’s stupid. Overall, the car has luxurious interior, exterior could maybe use an update but I like it and the power and ride is great all while offering AMAZING AWD capabilities.

I have only had the car for a few days. I have been driving minivan type cars for quite some time. I like this one because it seem to be one that was easier to get in and out of then a lot of the sedans. I got this one because I needed something dependable and good in the snow but wanted something different than a van type. Hopefully I won’t know what that’s like for a while. The car is very quiet and has a very smooth ride. I am having a lot of fun and enjoying driving the car. I have not learned all the controls yet.
7 months in my new Legacy, so far so good!

Pros: This was quite an upgrade from my 2013 Altima. I chose the Subaru because of the looks and interior room. The looks are very classy, especially when compared to previous generation Legacies. It looks and even drives like a car that costs twice as much (think BMW 5 series). I drove a lot of different sedans before choosing the Legacy. What sold me on the car for one thing was the interior room compared to other cars (only the Accord matched it). I'm a large-ish person so this was important to me. But in this car, I can and have sat 4 people very comfortably, and even the passenger sitting behind the driver has a lot of room. What also sold me was the technology features that the Subaru has that a lot of other cars don't, like the 12" touch screen that controls most of the car. The Bluetooth functions work very well, and having the large navigation screen is a huge plus compared to some of the other screens on some cars that I looked at. Plus I like the modern feel of the Subaru Starlink and the integrated look of the screen, compared to some navigation systems, where as some cars have that tacky "tacked on" feel to them. The interior has a lot of premium quality materials and a very nice look and feel to them. Cons: The downside is that I had a few problems with my car when I first bought it. It turns out that my car was shipped with a faulty controller unit for the navigation system that caused all kinds of problems. The most egregious and frustrating of which was that projection mode (Android Auto / Apple Car Play) was disabled because of this, and it caused frequent problems with other car functions. It took at least 4 of the 7 months I have owned this car arguing back and forth with the dealer trying to get this fixed before they finally got the unit in. Even worse is that my dealings were known at Subaru corporate because of this mess. Thankfully I got it all sorted out and my car works fine now. There was nothing wrong mechanically with the car, but the faulty navigation system was beyond frustrating before it finally got fixed. But if you do choose the Legacy make sure you check all of the functions on the car before taking delivery!

Amazing power but terrible CarPlay

I bought this car in February, I went from a tiny civic with barely any power to a sleeper. Truly, the speed and pickup in this touring is amazing. But the CarPlay and Bluetooth is trash, literally garbage. Constantly changing its mind on working properly, disconnecting mid drive half the time. Very very frustrating. However, it seems the car will need to have software updates every so often, as that was the trouble shoot from the dealership. The seats are too comfortable, which is a good thing when you’re not exhausted. Heated and cold ventilated seats, moonroof, and lots of space for passengers who need it. Conclusion, very nice. :)
