  Nice Car - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By John Marks - January 25 - 3:16 am

  I bought my Subaru Legacy about 3 months ago and I must say its a very great car for the price. Its the 4 cylinder Special Edition version. It has plently of power to merge on the highway and pass. It handles great at high speeds. I can only imagine what the GT version is like if this one has this much performance. I get 25mpg and thats 90% city driving. Highway I can get about 30mpg. I push it a lot since im a college student and love to accelerate. AWD is great in the rain, cant wait for the winter to really test it out again. Overall, great car and I would recommend it to anyone. Good quality all around.

  First car - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Massdrewski - January 14 - 11:20 am

  This is the first new car I have ever bought. Fun to drive and looks very stylish. I definitely get looks from other drivers. The fuel economy is marginal at best.

  Big Improvement over My Honda! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By 1stSubaru - December 6 - 1:50 am

  I love this car! I looked at many cars over several weeks and decided that the Subaru Legacy was the best value for performance, safety, and comfort. The car is quiet, smooth, and so elegant inside. I have so much fun driving the car. It has the handling of a European sedan and the reliability of a Japanese car. I recently drove the car during heavy rain and flooding - it maintained its stability like a tank. Im very happy with my decision. If you are considering an Accord or Camry, dont make a decision until you try the Legacy. Youll be shocked by the difference!

  Undercover blast - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By custom_junky - November 7 - 3:52 am

  This is my second Subaru Legacy, the first one being a 2005 2.5i Limited 5-spd. Liked the chassis so much I decided to get a Spec. B version, if for nothing else the extremely strong 6-spd tranny and drive train over the GT models. The Si-Drive allows simple daily driving as well. The interior is as expected, nav, aux-in radio, heated front seats and soft touch areas where needed.

  The Best - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Karl - October 9 - 8:46 pm

  I waited to post a review of this car until we had time to really evaluate it. After 9 mos. & nearly 11K miles we are very satisfied. The interior is the best, period. Its design looks better than any luxury sedan on the market. Handling is very good but you give up a soft ride for it. We average about 30 mpg at 80 mph and 23 around town. Still feels solid and has been totally trouble free. We drove Audi A4, BMW 3, Jag X, Volvo S40 & S60. Simply this car felt better and looked better too. If you want an awd car that is reliable, economical, and near luxury, this is the one. Leather is nice, stereo is okay but wish it had steering mounted controls (fixed in 2009). Highly recommend.

  Just imported a Legacy. I just want to say I love it. The handling is great. Quiet, comfortable, power is just what I need. Interior is nicely laid out. Love the climate control and heated seat.

  What a great vehicle! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Irish Mist - September 17 - 7:56 pm

  This vehicle has been outstanding in every way so far. Stylish, responsive, quiet, safe and the balanced design makes it a pleasure to drive. This is our first import and our first 4 cylinder so we researched quite a few vehicles. Once we settled on Subaru, we looked hard at the 2.5 GT turbo. That said, we have no regrets about the decision to go with the standard 2.5i. Plenty of power.

  The best kept secret, Suburu! - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By Theodore - August 21 - 10:03 am

  Toyota and Honda is the only thing my wife had ever driven. But unlike myself she is utterly terrified of driving in the snow. She refused the idea of an SUV and neither Honda or Toyota offers an AWD alternative. I suggested a Suburu Legacy and she reluctantly test drove the Legacy 2.5I SE. She was hooked within the first 5 miles although we drove it another 50 before returning to the dealership. But the story doesnt end there. The snow would be the real test, after all, the AWD was the main reason for the purchase. Well, after 11 trips in mild to heavy snow she was convinced this was the best purchase she ever made in her life. Yup, in her life. Wow... For that she gives it a perfect ten!

  Great Car - 2008 Subaru Legacy
  By macblaze - July 29 - 12:40 pm

  Well I Trade in My GMC Envoy for this one and I have to say that my chances of going to GM wont be happening anytime soon for sure unless its a Caddy or somthing like that. This is the best car I have ever owned after the going though so many problems with my Envoy which is a okay. I never had so much fun driving car other than this one. My fuel mileage is not so great yet but I have only had this car for 4 days so the engine needs time to break in. I think in time the fuel mileage will get better and it already better than my SUV. I love going around conners and I cant wait for the Saskatchewan winters. Thats when this car is going to show it strips with it AWD.
