  • Pleasant surprise - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I previously owned 3 Nissan Maximas and 1 Nissan Altima since 1999. I liked all of these vehicles. I was in the market for another Altima but the style was the same since 1997. The Maximas were becoming too expensive, so I began shopping for a new brand. My brother put me on to the Legacy. I test drove one and loved it and still love it almost a year later. The 4 cyl. is adequately powered not in the range of the 6 cyl Nissans but it gets you where you want to go. The gas mileage is pretty good for an AWD. I find the car to be very comfortable and roomy. I have had many compliments on the styling. I have no problem saying that I like it as much as the Nissans that I owned.

  • Bye-bye Camry, Malibu, Accord, Altima, etc. - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I ordered my new legacy today. I shopped many dealers in and out of area. It is amazing what the difference in price can be. It drives really nice; the CVT sold me, decent pick up, quiet interior, great mpg, awd, handling, much more room than previous. Nice dash layout, price not much more than Camry, etc and it has standard awd which is sooooooo nice in winter and wet roads. A big improvement, hope it is very reliable. Almost bought new equinox - so glad I didnt!

  • Beware of problems... - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    The vehicle makes a significant rattling noise at rest when warm. Subaru is aware of the problem but has no date for a fix. At times it sounds like a 30 year old Mercedes. It is difficult to get Subaru to respond. This is my first Subaru and based on my experience Ill never get another.

    Leased the Premium w/auto. Getting 18 mpg city and as much as 35 highway. Great handling car. Little loud and transmission a little jittery but I can live with that. Only 500 miles on car thus far. Comfortable seats, nice amenities. Would recommend based on my limited experience with this car thus far.

    I have put about 500 miles on my Legacy and am quite pleased with it. It could use a little more power but it is all wheel drive which eats up some horsepower. Gas mileage at this point is better than advertised on the window sticker. A really good looking sedan. Very comfortable inside.

  • Hello Subie! Goodbye Yota. - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Replaced 2006 RAV4 Limited V6 4x4. Ive clocked 2500 miles so far while averaging 29.1 mpg in the month Ive owned the car. Mostly hwy commute on competitive rush hours. The 2.5 w/ CVT is weirdly smooth. I dont feel it in the seat of my pants, but the speedo spins up quick. I dont miss the power as much as I love the smooth, compliant ride. I always thought "corners like its on rails" was hyperbole, but wow! Harmon Kardon system is clear to the top. The passenger room feels comparable to RAV except 63" son reports the back seat doesnt cut it for extended trips, no room to slouch. Kinda buzzy during hard acceleration at hwy passing speeds.

  • Beautiful and fun to drive - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Bought this for my wife who had been driving a van for 8 years. Got 32 mpg on first trip to visit daughter in college. Fun to drive in the snow up to our mountain cabin. Still feels like a luxury car to us. Wife wanted a BMW but really loves her Legacy. I love it too and hope to convince her to let me get an Outback. The headlights are weird in that they only light up the road right in front of you. There is a line of darkness that makes it dangerous on hills. Turning on the bright lights fix the problem so its not a insurmountable problem. The dealer says they are aligned right and cant fix it. Subaru says they have had others people report this problem.

  • My first Subaru - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I bought my first Subaru because I wanted a reliable car, good gas mileage, and all wheel drive. I dont really know how reliable it is because Ive only had it a year. I got all that with this car except for a clunking noise thats coming from the brakes when you first start the car after its been sitting a while. I step on the brakes and it sounds like the calipers are stiff when they squeeze the brake pads.

  • Best Subaru ever - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    This is my wife and my fourth Legacy. All have been exceptionally reliable and competent, but Subaru has hit the ball out of the park with the new car. Interior room on the 2010 is outstanding. No longer do you have to give up space to drive a Legacy. Also the CVT transmission is awesome on the highway. NO ONE makes an AWD car that will achieve the highway mileage like this Subaru. We were already sold on Subarus, this being our fifth, but in our first 6 weeks of ownership I can say we like this one best of all. All that remains to be seen is winter performance, but with all the Subaru AWD engineering under its belt, I doubt well have much to worry about when the white stuff starts.

  • Great All-Wheel-Drive, but weak a/c - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    The Good: All Wheel Drive provides extra grip - Great gas mileage (average 27 mpg) - Large interior (good rear leg room) - Comfortable driving position - Nice styling interior & exterior - CVT provides less to no jerking - Smooth riding vehicle - Quiet (easy to carry on a conversation) - All Gauges conveniently located The Bad: Touchy “sport” steering at highway speeds - Wind pushes the vehicle around more than expected at highway speeds - A/C ducts blow in face (center ducts not flush but beside radio, no way to direct straight back) The Ugly … - A/C unit does not cool vehicle I have also had to return my Legacy back to the dealer 4-times for A/C problems.
