The more things change the more they stay the same - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By jim monteleone - July 9 - 7:09 amI bought this car because we have owned foresters for 7 yrs. I just bought a new one for my wife is September, she wont drive anything else. I wasnt lookin for a new car but one of my sedans was totaled in accident in November so I looked at the Legacy. I drove the 2.5 the same as in my wifes Forester. The 4 performs fine in everyday driving but has some transmission lag when punched, since I do a fair amount of freeway driving and merging I choose the 6. The 6 is much smoother. So far I am averaging about 23.8 in mixed driving after 900 miles. Subaru has always been know for their all wheel drive, safety and drive trains. Fit and finish have lagged the Toyota,s and Hondas along with ride. I sold my 2014 Camry XLE to my son whose sedan was totaled. The creature comforts and technology have improved from our 2009 Forester. The legacy holds 4 adults very comfortably and you can fit four sets of clubs in the trunk. The interior and tech are on par with the Toyotas and Honda, . Seats are more comfortable. The newer Subies are bigger. The handling feels compliant with the all wheel drive system, still no sports sedan i.e. Mercedes or Audi. The safety record is unmatched and the eyesight system is state of the art. Visibility is excellent for a sedan. So as usual the all wheel drive system, reliability, and safety are reasons to buy this car. The interior is better and more comfortable than previous models with plenty of room. Disappointing is the road and wind noise, my Toyota was quieter in that respect. I also drove a few used Mercedes and the Buick Regal that are quieter. Its tough to pick up in a short test drive with the Salesman talking. The suspension still feels stiff and my old Camry took the bumps better. I live in the Northeast and you cant beat these cars in the snow, but also great traction in heavy rains. So it depends how you weigh safety , great all wheel drive vs ride. Kinda like its always been with the Subies, although the creature comforts and tech have improved.

Luxury, sleek, fun - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By Zechariah - May 27 - 9:31 pmThis is my first Subaru Ive owned and I must say I love it. I financed with all of the warranties and the company is great about notifying you of your oil changes and monitoring everything online. I have the EYESIGHT feature which is amazing, you literally cant get better safety features on any other vehicle. The ONLY thing I wish this car had is Apple CarPlay. Thats it. I got the heated leather seats in front and back, moonroof; pretty much the works on this car and it honestly feel like being in a Lexus. My friend has a same year Acura and it is not as well designed, elegant or luxurious as this car; this is a side note from the outstanding safety features, gas mileage, and great consumer support from Subaru(reminders of oil changes, sales promotions, and great warranties). I couldnt be more happy with this vehicle, I feel like it covers all corners on quality, luxury, safety, and economy. Ill probably buy another Subaru after this one is paid off in a few years. You really get A LOT for the price on this vehicle. Mine was about $31,000 but you feel like youre driving a $50-$60,000 car.

The Force Fed "Premium Entertainment Package" is R - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By Bruce Pelton - May 25 - 11:08 amIn order to get the Eyesight Collision Avoidance System we were forced to buy a package that included a Harmon Kardon so-called premium entertainment radio and Nav System. The audio sounds about as good as my computer speakers. The Nav system is clunky and takes tons of steps to find a location. It makes Apple Maps look good and Google Maps look brilliant.It does not show proper accident information or offer alternate routing. There is minimal lane guidance. The system offers and app that is called Aha which lacks most of the stations and content we want. It also "offers" Pandora which has 1/30th of the music on Spotify. The radio has a tendency to continue to play while you make or receive a call. This system will make you crazy as you fight it. Sirius was free for a while but not relevant since we can find what we want on the internet for free. After the introductory period they are going to have the audacity to ask us to pay for this junk.

Love my Subaru Legacy! - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By Sharon Yount - March 9 - 6:51 amThe EyeSight feature is amazing- well worth the extra cost. This car hugs the road like none other. The visibility is the best in its league. The power drivers seat is perfect. Wish Id gotten the power passenger seat but its ok anyway. The interior is well-designed. The car is so great looking. The Twilight blue color is gorgeous. Consumer Reports lists the 2016 Legacy as #1 in the mid-sized car. I have no complaints and would definitely buy a Subaru again. The gas mileage is quite good even though its all-wheel-drive. I could not find another car in its price bracket to even come close to the value packed in the Legacy. Im still working out how to use the Navigation; its not as intuitive as I would like.

Love my new Legacy - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By Corey - December 12 - 4:45 pmSo many good things, Im just going to share the challenges. Two blown fuses already (charging ports). Entertainment system glitchy at times with Bluetooth or if hard-wired in. Sound system bit the strongest (I should have upgraded this).

My First Subi and One of the best - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By C - October 4 - 7:35 pmI just bought a used 2016 Subaru legacy limited with 9000 miles on it. I have researched this car extensively and liked it ever since it came out in 2015. I love it so much after driving it 500 miles in just two days. Fit and finish are excellent, handling is wonderful and it rides and feels very smooth on the road. I have the eyesight system with all the safety stuff which I like. Ive read some reviews that say the legacy feels underpowered. I have the 2.5 L four-cylinder and it feels fine to me and more than sufficient. Ive driven Hondas and Acuras, Mazdas and Toyotas for the last 20 years and this is one of the best cars Ive ever purchased hands down!

Our first Subaru MIGHT not be our last... - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By TIE - September 25 - 2:10 pmPurchased the car two weeks and 1200 miles ago - still breaking it in, so to speak, but here are a few observations: (1) Excellent fuel economy. Dont abuse it and youll get excellent mileage. Using the paddle shifters go a long way towards accomplishing this as the CVT logic sometimes seems to search for the right gear. Dont let it guess - do it yourself. On a recent rural 35-mile trip, the MPG computer showed 37 mpg!! Ive also compared actual mpg calculated as miles/gallons being only about 1 mpg lower than the computer. (2) Excellent road handling. This thing is a blast to drive out of a corner - give it some power coming out of a corner and you can feel the rear wheels push you out. Those used to rear wheel drive wont be impressed but if youre used to front wheel drive youll immediately notice the difference. The lower center of gravity due to the flat four (boxer) engine design is also noticeable - car has minimal body roll compared to my old Accord. (3) Decent acceleration. Its no rocket but I have yet to be wanting for power, although off-the-line seems a bit hesitant (more a fault of the CVT than engine). Shifting from reverse to drive also seems to take a long fraction of a second - again, blame the CVT. I should note, however, that this CVT is the best Ive driven (Altima, Accord, several hybrids...). It does a good job mimicing a traditional 6-speed auto, especially when you put the foot down. (4) Wind and road noise. Yikes, this is an improved noise level over previous gens? Really? Wind noise is noticeable over 35 mph. Road noise is also noticeable but thats probably due to the substandard Goodyear OEM tires. Im hoping an upgrade will fix that and I hope that the dealer will find a problem with the weatherstripping around the windows. (5) Questionable seat comfort. It took me a while to get a good, comfortable drivers position. There are still times that the seat seems overly hard. Im hoping that, like my previous Honda, the seats will eventually break in and feel better. So... if the car "breaks in" nicely and these little niggles are taken care of, this is an excellent car.

Fast, handles well and comfortable! - 2016 Subaru Legacy
By Tom - April 27 - 10:28 amI have a 2016 3.6R limited and love this vehicle. Disappointed that this car mostly gears towards androids, as it does not work for apples CarPlay and I didnt want to pay 4K for gps. I really hope they update this and accommodate apple devices more. Test drove the V6 Camry and the V6 Subaru is much faster and handles better. However, Mpg is much less than anticipated. After my first two weeks of being a lead-foot, I noticed that the mpg still around 16-18 city and 20-22 highway.
