Overview & Reviews

Last year's limited-production Legacy spec.B sedan returns to the 2007 Subaru Legacy lineup as a regular production model. For this year's version, Subaru has fitted it with an exclusive six-speed manual transmission (last year's had a five-speed) and a new limited-slip rear differential. In addition, a new turbocharger and various other engine upgrades in spec.B and GT Limited models allow them to meet LEV 2 emissions standards, and the peak horsepower rating is revised to 243. The turbo Legacys also pick up an SI-Drive feature that allows the driver to adjust engine responsiveness, a tire-pressure monitor and new instrumentation. All 2007 Legacys come with an MP3/WMA-capable CD audio system, as well as an input jack for MP3 players. (Higher-line models have SRS WOW technology, which is said to improve the sound quality of compressed-format music.) Rounding out the changes are new seat fabrics, a folding rear seat in all sedans, a revised five-speed manual transmission and the optional availability of XM satellite radio.

• Sharp interior design with high-quality materials, thrilling turbo engine, standard all-wheel drive, sharp handling, comfortable highway ride, outstanding crash test scores.

• Smallish backseat, limited availability of stability control and navigation, GT Limited with options can be pricey.

  Love my Legacy! - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By M Winkler - July 17 - 6:46 am

  We have the 2007 Legacy with SI-Drive (Subaru Intelligent Drive), which gives the engine 3 modes: Intelligent (great for around town and best fuel economy) Sport, standard mode, and Sport Sharp, which gives it better performance for sport driving. This car handles great, fun to drive, looks awesome, and came with XM installed. You get so much for your money with this car. We are very happy with it.

  Great Buy, Great Car - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By me - July 6 - 6:43 pm

  Really enjoying the car. I test drove the Accord, Civic, CR-V and a used Volvo S40. The value, comfort and luxury feel of the Legacy left them all behind. The ride is smoother and handling better than the Accord at around the same price. With more power and AWD to boot. The only competition was the CR-V, which I loved to drive. But similarly equipped it cost $3k more and is funny looking from the outside. This is my 3rd Subaru, my last car being an Outback Sport. I notice that the radio is MUCH better in this car.

  spec b ing - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By wilson - May 19 - 10:03 pm

  This car is great in the snow especially fitted with snow tires. Acceleration is good it pulls when its in s#sharp mode. The bilsteins are plush but stiffens up a bit when carving the corners. Interior is not up to par while previous car acura tsx had better interior. The body has a nice sleeper stealthy look but it dings easily cause of thin panels. Fuel economy is decent for a turbocharged car, overall Ive gotten 22 city and hwy, if its all highway Ive gotten 29.7 mpg. Navigation is horrible, it needs to be updated and easier to use.

  Fun to drive - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By Loyal Subaru owner - March 1 - 6:13 pm

  Love the dash setup and cup holders in the back. The car scoots even without all the turbo, and beats most from the stop light. Took a while for gas mileage to kick in, but once it hits the freeway it is pretty consistent 29 mpg. Love the average gas mileage gauge, it is accurate for the trip odometer. My new best friend is the heated seats, whod have known.

  Perfect sleeper Subie. - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By Elisabeth - February 3 - 2:00 pm

  I wanted a shifter sedan that had AWD but something different from an Audi/BMW. I loved the looks of this car and how solid it feels when driving. To me it is a true sport sedan. I think I would be happier with the short-throw gearbox and will probably have that installed by the dealer before too long. It is a great road trip car but definitely sucks down the premium fuel. Overall I have been very happy with the car and plan to drive it for years to come. I had an Acura previously and while I think the Subaru is much more fun to drive I miss the interior quality of the Acura.

  Legacy at Head of Class - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By SaintsFan - January 21 - 8:10 pm

  I wanted a mid-size sports sedan, and Legacy really stands out. Nothing under $21 K compared to it. I think engineering, not marketing is behind the Legacy. The 2.5 boxer engine runs smooth and provides plenty of power. AWD adds a whole lot to road performance (although it lowers fuel economy a bit). Interior is first class; no cheap material or gimmicks. Same outside; nice clean styling. Subaru says 95% of all its cars sold in the last ten years are still on the road. I tend to keep cars, so Im guessing mine will be, too, and still look good.

  The best in its class - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By lyon - January 2 - 9:00 pm

  This is without any doubt the best car in its class. Sure you can have an Altima, Camry, or Accord but they just dont offer much when all is said and done. My Subaru Legacy Special Edition offers more then the competition. Just looking at the car you can tell its a drivers car. Every morning I cant wait to drive it. The engine feels like a V6 and with the trasmission in sport mode you can dust anyone off the line if you want to. The all wheel drive really makes a big difference. If you want to get on the car, it handles hard turns with ease. The level of perfomance cant be beat. A must-drive if you are in the market for a sedan at this pricepoint.

  Amazing! - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By J Franceschi - October 13 - 5:10 pm

  Just got rid of a Mercedes, and what a difference! The Subaru is sooo much faster. The build quality is excellent - almost Lexus-like and the Subie is very comfortable too. This car holds the road like it was glued there and the clutch is really smooth. The turbo is really fun and Consumer Reports has given the Legacy great reliability ratings. I test drove the MazdaSpeed6 and there was no comparison. Edmunds compared them also and preferred the Mazda, but if youre looking for fun AND great reliability and build quality go for the Legacy. It beats the Mazda hands down in the quality department.

  Still kind of amazed. - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By Dan - July 1 - 9:46 pm

  I was looking for a reliable, safe, affordable ($20k or under) car big enough to for 2 car seats (though this is not our primary family car) that didnt look & feel like every other car on the road. I drove the Civic & Rabbit, then the Outback Sport. The last was a little cramped, so the dealer suggested the Legacy. Its bigger, more powerful, with much nicer styling, and in a completely different class than the others. Looks great, and IIHS Gold crash test ratings. I got the 07 with the sport trim (fog lights and spoiler).

  Subie junkie - 2007 Subaru Legacy
  By Ron - March 8 - 3:20 pm

  My first Subaru experience was 16 years ago when my wife and I rented a new 90 Legacy Sedan to see if we wanted one. We ended up buying a 91 Legacy wagon (kept it until 2003...we sold it to a friend with 190,000 miles, theyve put on another 30,000 with no problems). We then got an 04 Forester XS. My company has 3 Subies (2 05 Imprezas and an 04 Forester X). My son has a 90 Legacy sedan with 205,000 miles and it still runs fine. My newest is the 07 Legacy sedan (I got tired of people borrowing my Forester, so I got one with a 5-speed thinking I can have it to myself!). So far, its flawless...better ride and handling than the Imprezas and Foresters, also more head and leg room.
