  Best kept secret in mid-size cars - 2013 Subaru Legacy
  By carbr8r - October 1 - 5:05 pm

  Very worthwhile investment. With 3,000 miles on the car, I am getting 33 MPG on the Hwy and 21 in the city for a combined 27 MPG. I got the navigation with Eyesight and the Harman Kardon stereo and it makes for a much more attractive dash layout. This car is a blast to drive! The boxer engine has a nice note under heavy acceleration. The seats are very comfortable front and back. The HVAC works excellent, and the controls for the Bluetooth, nav, handsfree, and audio system are very easy to learn and use. Steering is tight and responsive. Build quality is excellent - no rattles or squeaks at all. And snow? This car loves it! It sticks to dry, wet, or slippery roads like glue.

  Researched midsize sedans for a couple months... - 2013 Subaru Legacy
  By dbpdx - September 14 - 5:31 am

  ...and the Legacy came out on top for my family and me. I drive about 40 miles round-trip for work each day and have a two month old son. My wife and I traded in an older SUV and wanted a midsize sedan that would comfortably hold a rear-facing car seat while also achieving high MPG on the highway. High safety scores were also very important to us, and the Legacy delivered on all fronts. I drove several competing sedans but settled on the Legacy because of its spacious cabin and AWD. Ive had the car for a couple weeks and love driving it. I was very close to buying a 2012 Fusion but didnt quite feel right. The Camry didnt feel right, either. Both cars pale in comparison to the Legacy.

  A Dream Ride - 2013 Subaru Legacy
  By jazzfocus1 - June 21 - 1:17 am

  I just got it so this will be a preliminary review. So far Im very impressed with this "freshened up" model. Very attractive vehicle, quiet interior, good power. Have only driven one day but am fairly car savvy and know about Subaru since its earlier days. They keep improving on a good thing and dont cheapen their cars like other companies to save money. I saw the car in April at the NY auto show. One of my old cars was up for inspection and I decided to trade in for this puppy. So far, I love it.
