Overview & Reviews
After last year's full redesign, the 2011 Subaru Legacy sees only minor changes. The 2.5GT is now only available in Limited trim, which gains a standard sunroof, satellite radio and some upgraded trim. The Harman Kardon upgraded sound system now includes satellite radio.
- Standard all-wheel drive, excellent outward visibility, diverse engine and transmission choices, spacious cabin.
- Weak base stereo, fussy navigation system, unimpressive six-cylinder fuel economy, no automatic available with 2.5GT, polarizing styling.

Legacy Limited - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Jack - June 6 - 2:30 pmGreat car. I researched the heck out of this and this car has exceeded my expectations. Im 63" and the the interior (esp. headroom) is amazing. 4,000 miles and not a squeak and the Limited interior and sound system result in a wonderful travel experience. Im avg. right at 30.0 in overall mpg. May not be the quickest car, but more than adequate for me.

First time Subaru owner! - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By megann22 - March 26 - 1:43 pmIm a first-time Subaru owner and loving every minute of it! Ive been a Ford girl for most of my life (3 Mustang GTs) and was ready to trade out my 2005 Explorer for a larger SUV- Expedition or Tahoe/Yukon. However with the crazy gas prices, my husband convinced me to check out the Toyota Venza. When I arrived at the dealership to check out a year-old Venza, I spied the most gorgeous car and was FLOORED to find out it was a Legacy! I drove it and was hooked! My car turns heads everywhere I go and handles like a dream. I dont miss my big SUV at all. It helps me recapture the sportiness that ive been missing all these years, while still hauling my family. I couldnt love it more!

Sweet Subie (Part Deux) - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By drq - August 13 - 11:31 pmThis is my second Subie-my first was an 04 Forester XT fun to drive but wasnt too economical-but never failed me in 7 years and 120K miles. I was willing to forgo getting my head snapped back for better MPGs and after 2K miles Im averaging 29.2 overall (Regular!). This time around got all the bells and whistles and couldnt be happier, never realized how noisy my XT was until now. The interior is well apportioned the leather seating is glove soft and heated-the stereo plain rocks. The back seat is big enough for two boosters and a baby seat. CVT took a little used to but once the engine was broken in you can get higher revs and satisfactory stop light acceleration. $26K @ 0.9% Awesome!

Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Rodger - November 2 - 10:50 pmThis is our 3rd Subaru. The interior is rich in quality. I have test driven Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, Audi, and I keep coming back to the Legacy. Awesome performance, comfort, and handling. The cabin is much quieter than my wifes 09 Legacy Limited due to the new window design. I also liked the fact that they made the folding side mirrors for the 2011. Ive gotten good comments on the satin white exterior color of the vehicle. High quality paint. Highly suggest people to test drive this vehicle prior to purchasing other sedans in the market.

2011 2.5 Limited with moonroof - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By dlb14frost - August 5 - 6:01 pmHave the Subaru for a week now and have racked up over 650 miles. Expressway and back country roads were all handled quite well. Car is sure footed and the cvt is so smooth with good acceleration. So far it seems to be doing quite well in the fuel economy department as well. Havent had in snow yet (the recent blizzard) missed us.

First impressions of a Legacy 3.6 R - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Subie Convert - July 28 - 10:00 amComing from a Lexus IS300, I had high expectations looking for a car that was more practical but still fun to drive. My IS300 was not good in ice and snow, and one of my kids is now over six feet tall so I needed something better in foul weather with more interior space. I did a lot of research and found the 2011 Legacy 3.6R Limited. So far Im very impressed. Its a lot of car for the money yet Im not missing any features from my Lexus. It strikes a great balance between performance and comfort. Its a sleeper - innocuous with a bit of a kick. Good acceleration thanks to AWD and 3.6- liter torque. For a bigger car, it handles well around corners. Solid design - nothing seems flimsy on it.

Impressed - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Samantha - February 26 - 8:56 pmThis is my first Subaru and it probably will not be my last. I am quite impressed with this vehicle. I went from a 2008 MKX to this and probably will not go back. Interior is impressive and compares to the luxury versions quite easily. The V6 isnt as fuel friendly as others but it packs one heck of punch when you hit that gas pedal.

So Far So Good - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Richard F - February 19 - 2:33 pmLiving in the Northeast I wanted an all-time 4x4 with good handling and in a sedan format that I could afford. So far I havent been disappointed! Only "complaint" I have so far is that the manual mode paddle shifters isnt truly a manual mode as you cant shift up until the computer says (arrow)you can and the shift is felt more in this car than my last CVT (Nissan)however it is fun to drive so far and I dont mind driving past the gas stations either since my last vehicle was a 6 cylinder Nissan (but I do miss the power just a little, lol) Well see how the long-term service maintenance holds up however!

Wowee! - 2011 Subaru Legacy
By Happy NY Subie Owner - September 26 - 10:00 amAfter 500 wonderful miles, I can only say superlatives about this wonderful machine! I got mine with the moonroof & nav package. It rides great, got plenty of giddy-up when you need it, hugs the road, has an aggressive (but not overly so) exterior look and a very classy, roomy and upscale interior with all the features anyone could want or ask for.
