  Chiropractor should be included! - 2010 Subaru Legacy
  By JR - June 16 - 9:36 am

  I have put about 23,000 miles on this vehicle to date. Initially it seemed like a great car for the money. First and foremost, this is the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. You will not realize this until you drive over 2 hours. I first thought it was me until I had others drive it and agree. I have since bought additional cushions which only slightly help the issue. Temp only adjusts hot or cold. They have replaced this unit multiple times and still not right. Automatic lights flicker on/off when going under an overpass in the middle of the day. Again could not fix! Clunky transmission that will not find a gear and act as if the car is in neutral. Scary in traffic!

  LOVE this car! - 2010 Subaru Legacy
  By Red - May 31 - 7:13 am

  After 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 pm

  I 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.

  After 3350 miles - 2010 Subaru Legacy
  By Marvinlee - April 12 - 11:13 am

  There is too much front-suspension tire road noise. The car is otherwise mostly quiet. The 3.6R engine vibrates noticeably at idle, smooths out in normal driving, then is harsh and noisy at high RPM. The auto transmission lacks a sixth gear. The center-section data display is too dim in bright daylight and the numbers are too small. Air conditioning is OK thus far, but noisy at high fan settings. The steering wheel should tilt down further, and telescope more. The radio is excellent but lacks the desirable speed-volume feature of the cheaper standard radio. The all wheel drive proved stable and safe on a very poor mountain road.

  By d tush - March 6 - 9:40 pm

  I 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 pm

  Coming 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.

  Its all in the mechanics - 2010 Subaru Legacy
  By garbageguts - December 22 - 1:43 pm

  By chance I drove a 2009 Legacy and compared it with a my 2010. I was amazed at difference in handling characteristics between the two. The 2010 has a smooth yet in control feel along with good match between CVT and Boxer engine. The 2009 does not. For drive-ability the 2010 is great when cornering at > 40 mph. In the snow it beats hands down the Altima, Fusion, Accord and Camry.

  10K and all is OK - 2010 Subaru Legacy
  By Joe-in-MD - December 17 - 12:16 pm

  We 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 am

  I 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 am

  I 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.
