LOVE this car! - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By Red - May 31 - 7:13 amAfter looking at most mid-size sedans on the market, I knew the Legacy was for me. I purchased the Limited about 2.5 months ago and I have 2500 miles on it. So far, the only problem Ive had is a leak in the sunroof after going to a high pressure wash. Supposedly it says to avoid high pressure washes, although I couldnt find it in the manual. Not a big deal, weve just changed our car wash and the problem hasnt reoccured. I love the CVT and the AWD has made the winter driving much easier. My husband is 65 and has plenty of headroom, even in the passenger seat. We often have 5 adults in the car and there is always plenty of room.

Love my Legacy Great MPG - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By misss - April 29 - 2:12 pmI have had my Legacy for two years now. Bought it new. When I take long drive Im making 34 MPG. Right now with some city and mostly highway Im getting about 29 MPG. Its a little less in the winter time with all the idling we do in the cold weather. Love the heated seats and heated side mirrors. I feel really safe on our icy roads in the winter. Would by another in a heart beat.

brentwoodboy - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By d tush - March 6 - 9:40 pmI formerly drove a 2006 Acura TSX, but needed more interior room to meet the needs of a growing 9 yr-old son whose legs were always invading my driving space! Bought the 2.5i Premium/4cl. with CVT in the silver/black leather, and I love the added space and nice build quality Subaru put into this affordable sedan. After 3 months and 4K, only real negative seems to be excessive engine noise and general sluggishness at low speeds. Not sure if that is a trade off with the CVT, or expected. Dealer told me they hear this comment often. I do miss the more nimble handling of my TSX, but enjoy the Legacys roominess. A solid value for an AWD family sedan, indeed!

Was not expecting this - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By Grappas - February 14 - 8:40 pmComing from a family that has driven Mercedes Benz for 30+ years I was amazed at the level of refinement the Legacy has. I had looked at the Mazda 6, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Acura TSX, Lexus is 250, BMW 3 series, and Audi 4 series. Nothing strucka balance between performance, value and refinement like the Legacy. Hats of to Subaru for building such an amazing car. Everytime I drive the car I wonder how the hell Subaru makes any money selling this car for so cheap. I would have easily paid another 2000-3000 more without blinking an eye. This car fell short on HP for my heavy right foot but makes up for it with an ultra smooth CVT gear box.

10K and all is OK - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By Joe-in-MD - December 17 - 12:16 pmWe just passed the 10,000 mile mark and I am very satisfied with the Legacy on all counts. Perhaps Im getting used to the CVT, but the MPG just gets better and better. Drove from MD to Williamsburg, VA and clocked 33 MPG. Averaged 75-85 MPH highway with AC full blast. Would buy another - or perhaps the similar Outback.

A Perfect Fit - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By Carl Armani - November 11 - 9:46 amI needed a midsized sedan that my wife would enjoy driving. My short list included the Ford Fusion, the Toyota Camry,and the Mazda 6. I test dove all four and the 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5i with the new CVT transmission became my first choice. I like the styling, it looks expensive and its clean aerodynamic line illicits lots of raves from friends. The car is roomy front and back and all the controls are accessed easily. The ride is solid with no swaying in the corners and adequate suspension on bumpy terrain. This is not a Hot Rod, its 4 cylinder 170 HP engine with the new CVT automatic transmission gives you adequate acceleration for all sensible driving needs. Gas mileage 25/32.5.

Car Accelerates - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By TheForma - July 11 - 1:06 amI purchased my 2010 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited almost a month ago. I have put a little over 200 miles on it since then and have enjoyed every last one of them. The car accelerates beautifully and the shifting is very smooth (especially for a Subie). I traded up from an Imprezza 2.5 TS sport wagon and the hard shifting was one of my complaints. These problems are now non existent however. The shift on the fly levers on the steering wheel are fun to use. Passing cars on the highway and merging on the interstate is a true joy in this car. The interior is very comfortable and the Harmon Kardon sound system has plenty of bump once you tweak it a bit. My only complaint is the bit of body roll.

4th Subaru - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By subieman - May 26 - 10:10 pmI recently drove from Long Island to Atlantic City, and averaged 32mpg. Fuel economy was my reason for trading my tribeca, and the legacy didnt disappoint me. Ive had two other legacys, a 2000 gt limited and a 2005 gt limited turbo, but the 2010 is unlike either of them. The interior space is a great improvement, especially in the rear. The fit and finish is great, Im no stranger to the boxer engine, and combined with the cvt, the car is a delight to drive. All in all, I love the car.

2010 GT limited review - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By mikewvche - March 26 - 8:16 pmAfter 1500 miles behind the wheel in various conditions (except snow) I feel able to make a fair review. This car has met all my expectations so far. Plenty of power (very responsive 265 HP turbo) and room (five average adults do fit with some room to spare). This car is fun to drive and practical at the same time (AWD is great). This is the fifth Subaru I have owned over the years and the third with AWD. Contrary to many of the reviews about the MT-6 transmission I find it to be very smooth shifting with good clutch feel. Compared to the MT-5s of years past this is the best Subaru manual I have experienced (especially from 1st to 2nd). The new look exterior does grow on you too.

2nd Subie - 2010 Subaru Legacy
By Jason - February 11 - 1:20 amMy wife and I went to Detroit Auto Show to pick a new "fun" car. Had 14 on the list and as we continued to circle the show and whittle our choices down, we decided to look at Subaru (Wasnt on original list). Why didnt we look at it the first couple trips around? I heard the new body style was polarizing, but I fell into the bucket of "love it". I guess I just couldnt part with the AWD and was completely satisfied with the 2.5 in my 06 Outback. My wife stated it best: "The Legacy is a perfect blend of sport and luxury for us." If you are in the market for a car, at least put this on your list to test drive. I recommend Limited if you like gadgets.
