 Industry Reviews

With standard all-wheel drive, big-car comfort and lively performance, the 2012 Subaru Legacy is a solid choice among midsize sedans.



Look past the dowdy image, and the Legacy proves to be a sporty, all-wheel-drive sedan. All versions have a lively feel and a big interior.


 Consumer Reviews

My niece needed a reliable car so I gave her my '94 Subaru Legacy. Then one day, for the first time ever, it wouldn't start. Our mechanic asked us to try our spare key. It started right up! After 200,000 miles, the key had worn out before the car! - Ginger C., Hood, VA

I love my '98 Legacy because no matter where I'm headed, there's fun behind every drive. The AWD has gotten me out of a couple tight spots, especially in the rough-and-tumble New England winters. I had a host of other options to pick from when getting my first car, but I had a funny feeling that choosing a Subaru would be the right choice. I don't regret a second in that car. I may only be 17 but I'll be a Subaru owner for life! - Brandon K., Avon, CT

Three generations of women in my family love Subaru! Sister, Mom and Gram have a Forester, Outback and Legacy and all have adventures to tell. Big roadtrips following winter storms to catch fresh powder, early mornings to catch glassy lakes for a paddle in the kayaks, long rides to classic California trailheads. - Chris C., Walnut Creek, CA
