Overview & Reviews

A mild face-lift, a sporty new "3.0 R Limited" trim level, a redesigned instrument panel, the cancellation of the wagon body style and the addition of a few new standard features (including tilt and telescopic steering wheel and an auxiliary audio jack) are the major changes for the 2008 Subaru Legacy line.

• Smallish backseat and trunk, limited availability of stability control and navigation systems, upper trims can be pricey.

  Legacy GT a Cut Above - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By lslgal5350 - June 19 - 9:10 am

  I have owned Subarus for several years, mostly WRXs. I finely decided to try a Legacy GT. I am really glad I did. It is a great car, having good power, and more luxury than the WRXs I owned. Subaru has done a great job on the entire design, and functionality of the Legacy GT. I have added a Stage one Cobb Accessport, and it changed an already good performing car into a really GREAT performing car. The added hp/torque from this programmer really changes the entire character of the engine, without cutting the mpg. Its the best $695.00 I ever spent!!

  Not just best for money, best in class! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By GTHeaven - June 11 - 8:20 am

  I got my GT back in May and cant ask for anything more. I have wanted the car since 1998, back before it didnt even have the turbo. It was sure worth the wait as it drives like a dream. I take it up in the mountains and it just hugs the curves as it slices up the road. Subaru really stepped up their interior quality for this year. I get compliments from everyone who gets in it.

  This car is great! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Woodyboy - June 5 - 6:50 pm

  In 34 years I have owned a lot of sports cars and SUVs. The Subaru GT is my favorite. It provides almost sports car like power and handling. It rides like a comfortable sedan. It takes the Utah snow without any drama. I get 28 mpg hwy and 22 mpg around town according to the trip computer. That includes jumping on it a little. I am considering installing the SPT exhaust system, heat shield and high flow exhaust. The factory quotes 30HP and 30 ft-lb torque gains.

  Im dating up! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By karl williams - March 11 - 9:23 pm

  Okay, I almost feel guilty for driving this car. I luckily found it used because you dont see a "used" Subaru very long on the lot (especially as nice as this one) and Ive been looking. I feel bad because it is soooo good. I have two friends who drive new BMWs and I can easily keep up with the Jones. This car does everything well, including looking the part of a luxury sport sedan. Very fun to drive, handles well, and fuel economy is great for AWD. Speaking of AWD...it is wonderful in the rain..cant wait for snow. I am dating up because this car has hot looks and delivers performance even for a 4 cyl. When I tell people what I paid...they are filled with jealousy. Dont miss out!

  An OK Car, Nothing Special - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Johnny - February 26 - 10:00 pm

  This car is OK, nothing special, it was a cheap lease. I had a VW Golf which blows the Subaru away in overall performance and quaility. The Subaru doors close like a tin can, power in the engine is non-exsitent, and the road noise is high. But it is new and get about 24 MPG, not bad for an AWD
