Am I the only one that thinks this car is sharp? They make it sound like the dullest car on the market....
Jonathan Clark I think it looks great
nope. I own the 2017 sport model and love it.
Jonathan Clark I was thinking the same thing. I have a 2015 and I really like how it looks.
@@brantphillips9133 I agree , this shape looks looks quite smart. I drive a Gen 3 model and will update to this new Liberty soon.
No, you're not the only one
0-60 in 6.3 seconds with an AWD car for less than 35k isn't considered fast?!!! I think you might be spoiled a bit.
It’s pretty much on par with other cars in this class which is the whole point of this video to show this car is not special in any way
I agree. Anything around 6 seconds is consider fast, but maybe this car doesn’t feel fast.
eli li It’s fast it’s just not the unique. Mazda 6, Kia Optima and cadenza, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus and Fusion, and I’m sure I’m missing more, also get a 6 second 0-60.
MrNoName hell no, no way do those cars do 0-60mph in 6s
Chris they do search it up and I missed a few like Honda Accord and Civic, Ford Focus and Fiesta ST and I’m sure I’m missing even more
I actually like the way the cars looks
Imo. The rear needs a little bit of updates and maybe the front, but not really. It's a Subaru.
Honestly i like the understated look. I use to be into sleepers back in high school. My car was a supercharged Buick Century that had absolutely nothing done to the outside except stickier tires.
older versions look pretty good, but this one, idk looks like 10 years older and not in a good way.,
Sleeper vibes 😴 i love it
Finally back on cars we can realistically can afford 😂
a car that you could AFFORD but probably wouldn't BUY
93remix so true I mean it’s reliable and easy to service but it’s so slow and not fuel efficient at all but is very comfortable to cruise. I’d buy one if it had a manual tbh I’d never daily a 6cylinder with a CVT.
Darksyne I would never daily a CVT period
to be honest i came here cuz motor trend killed head to head. I like seeing all affordable, luxury and sport cars reviews
Ryan Jones wtf? Mt killed h2h? Why? Thats the only reason they were relevant
I used to enjoy motor trend videos, but then their videos got way over scripted. You guys got the right thing going on
Marcolgy well we’ve never scripted anything because we don’t like the idea of that.
Yuri Tereshyn it shows! And shout out to Jacob's mean elbow drop on the padding, that's journalism at its finest
Marcolgy that’s actually macho mans elbow that I borrowed for his video
I feel the same way about Ignition and Head2head... I am from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe and noone can make me pay for games, movies, software or carshows!
"the right thing" = cringey back-and-forth banter ?
These guys are way off. I have one of these and it consistently puts a smile on my face. For how big it is it actually kinda scoots. And the boxer 6 cyl sounds heavenly
they make you happy, fun to drive, also fab in WInter, he he
i accualy like the looks of this car, do not even think it looks boring to be honest
I would like cars to be boring if I can mod it to high hell huehuehuehue
it looks boring
but there's nothing wrong with that it's not making false "sporty" promises
@@purplechip8020 *cough cough* Toyota Camry
The legacy is not a "dad car" or "mom car". It's a car that blends in everywhere you go. It's a car that looks just as good in a high end neighborhood as it does in a lower income neighborhood. It doesn't draw attention or look out of place. It's nice.
Sounds stupid but I love how plain/boring/non engaging my legacy is! I can’t be bothered with driving anymore so I just want it to be as easy, and comfortable as possible!
The other day I went out for a drive and somehow found myself on cliche corner! Coolest feeling ever.
Keep it a secret 😉
Is that place in Canada where you lot live called "little Eastern Europe"? We have a Juri, we have a Jakub and now we also have an Adrian.
I live in Australia and even I know where it is!
The car to get if you want to remain anonymous. If I needed AWD I would probably get this over the Fusion Sport AWD because of the lower price and less complex engine, plus Subarus tend to be fairly reliable and safe.
harrismi7 you’ve got the new sponsor icon for 1 month!
Is that why it changed color?
harrismi7 ya. New, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months I can customize it if you have any ideas
harrismi7, you forgot to say "cnaciba, cyka blyat!"
Heh, I guess that means it's a great car if you plan on going into the witness protection program.
Hey guys could you also show the keys of the cars
Would be an nice extra thing
So without further adieu, let's go ahead and start her up and let her run
TheStraightPipes. That's right. He's an American staple of the automotive world.
@@TheStraightPipes is that a saabkyle04 reference?
@@mattdoe04 😂😂😂
This is the car you get if you're a drug dealer and need to stay under the radar.
Adrian S lol
Deadass😂😂😂😂😂
The wealthiest drug dealer in my city drives a 93 civic. Dudes a multi millionaire, owns 3 pharmacies and has a staff of pharmacists. I think he may have gotten into some trouble recently with the opioid prescription crackdown though.
@@angry-white-men my drug dealer wife drives a matrix... she pays the bills
It truu i got 20 inch rims and dark tints
"Genesis, Legacy, Panda" LMAOOOOO this is why y'all are my favorite reviewers
TurkeyJerky but it’s something like that right?
"Black X6, Phantom, White X6, panda" is what he says but your version is acceptable lol
TurkeyJerky omg that is so funny I love you yuri
I had the 2017 model a few months ago and when I say that this car is so under the radar, I knew exactly where I parked, walked past he car in a parking lot and couldn't find it until I used the clicker to see that it was just 10 feet away from me in plain sight
Glad we weren't the only ones
dbazile15 lmaoooo
Both equally dumb
I didn't have that problem
I swapped out the grill on mine for a JDM and added a Lip + Lowered it. this made me have to park back first every time. I still walk past mine sometimes
Looks like a Japanese Ford Taurus
Highbatros Yeah, especially the grille. Looks very generic.
The Visors in my WRX don't slide and I have sun in my eyes on the way to work EVERY MORNING because of it. Side note: Tim Hortons should sponsor you guys. Or at least give you free drinks!
It's annoying isn't it
Especially because of the tree line and time of day. 50% chance of migraine, 50% chance of seizure.
What’s the visor test about? Always forget to ask
Tinted windows make a big difference if you don't have them. I have a rental right now and I didn't realize how much they help.
I tend to just wear my sunglasses when the sun is too strong no matter which direction it’s coming from. If I wasn’t driving a civic I would be mistaken as a poser sometimes. Actually a civic would probably make it worst lol
I'm a huge tech geek, but i literally couldn't care less about rewinding satellite radio. Before discovering this YT channel, I didn't even know that was a thing lol. Why does Yuri prefer that sooo much?
im the same way, after the free year who even subs to radio
It's pretty cool to rewind and hear the great part of a song over and over.
People have fav stations to listen to with daily commute at the same time and radio shows colliding...
This car is one of the better looking cars out of all the midsize sedans. I have no clue why you guys try to make it seem so bland.
This is an elegant car.
as and rider
I feel personally attacked. Source: I own this car, and every observation is on point, unfortunately. Good daily driver but lacking any character.
Neckbeardo but it works for you. That's how I feel about CVT. I know lots don't care for them, but I have zero complaints about the CVT in my Outback.
Egan Fo it does work for my needs. My work commute is 42 miles round trip, and my father's house is 100 miles round trip. All errands I can complete in my neighborhood on foot. The Legacy is pretty ideal for my needs, but it doesn't get the blood pumping, you know?
Egan Fo I agree. I also have the 2018 Outback 2.5. The smooth application of the available power creates an illusion that it has more horsepower than it does. It’s not unpleasant to me.
how to fix that
step 1. Nameless axleback exhaust
Step 2. enjoy.
Ok, no joke, the Subaru Legacy and Outback is super super super comfortable. So comfy it will surprise you. No joke. Test or just sit in one.
My mom has a 2014 and you described it perfectly. Vague ass steering but super comfy.
Really? I have a 2013 and I love the steering and how heavy it is my toyota rav 4s steering is so light I like that it’s heavier on my Subaru
Idk if it’s just me but I feel a very significant steering with my legacy???
Would you buy this over the Ford Fusion Sport if you needed AWD?

TheStraightPipes nope I'd get the legacy
Kia Stinger 2.0T AWD
This car seems like it is targeting older Cadillac & Buick buyers who have been displaced by the new sporty demeanor they now possess. In that same respect, for the same money as the Legacy 3.6R, I take the new Regal GS 3.6 AWD instead of this.
Idk I have a thing against CVt transmissions lol
I love this car and even if I was a billionaire I would buy one!
I have more space in my Legacy than ALOT of cars including SUVs and pickups
Yuri didn’t break the visor this time!👏🏻😂
I own the 2015 version of the 3.6R. Yep, it's a terrific road trip car. Nothing more comfortable for tall people like me.
that slow mo elbow drop!
Am I the only one here who never ever listens to the radio? Full of ads, most of the time its not what I want to listen to, the radio presenters are annoying as hell, the quality is horrible and so on.
So the radio rewind could be something you should ask your viewers about for the future imho.
DSP satellite radio is a paid radio service that has no ads. It literally solves all of your issues but it’s a North America thing.
Nope. AUX jack or bluetooth and i play what i want. Most radio stations are trash.
If boring means getting me back and forth to work reliably, economically and Safe in all kinds of weather. That sounds like a smart buy. On my test drive list. Thanks.
I literally had 6-7 visits with my head unit in my 3.6R as it would always reset to default settings. The thing you praise the most is the biggest downfall of this car. Also, this car looks cool with black rims and blacked out windows. White car color. Also, this takes REGULAR gas and gets you 23MPG average. That’s a good thing
i had this car for 2 yrs, not happy at beginning, but once you get used to this car, it is really easy to drive and comfortable to ride
李正则 how you like it now and days
Great video fellas. You two in this video look like two old men riding in some ancient boring Cadillac or Lexus and complaining about food that you had last night. Lol. This Legacy is so boring that it made you two look like some old whiners. Lol. Not your fault. Subaru is to blame. Lol
I own one!! 2018 legacy ice blue BLK leather bad ass, it's OK fast, but it's AWD and living in Michigan this is a much needed option. I was looking at both the legacy and the Fusion, think depreciation now you know why I went with the legacy. I really LOVE the cruise control, I cant say enough about this car, when stuck in traffic the car slows itself down to a stop then when the traffic starts moving again the car does too and back to the set speed. I also thought it was an old mans car, but after riding in it you will quickly see it's not! Over all I can't get enough of the vehicle and I am glad I bought it! can you say 100K miles or 10 years bumper to bumper warranty covering everything but the tires. why buy a FORD?
Good choice. Just save a little $$$ for your 30,000 mi. maintenance. Love my forester but it is a bit pricey to maintain
When I bought my 2010 legacy I put a lot of thought into it. The AWD, CVT, 6 airbags, paddle shifters, and 31+mpg on the highway made it seem like the perfect car.
The legacy 3.6r has been clocked to go mid 6's 0-60mph on forums stock at high 14's 1/4 at 96mph. Is it fast? No but it def is not slow. 2015 Ford Focus St which is considered not slow at all and is sporty has a trap speed of 94mph according to motortrend at 6.5 seconds 0-60mph. So on the highway, the legacy 3.6r is decent. Also, this video complains about the screen that shows mph. That little screen also shows, song names, tire pressure on each wheel, compass, and navigation routes. Video also doesn't mention adaptive cruise control. So you could drive this car in traffic in cruise control and the car can brake for you and keeps a distance between cars with it's cameras. Video finally complains of the CVT. You drive any car out the there with a CVT, and this car is one of the best. Subaru makes one of the best CVT's on the market. Don't knock it until you try it.
OK. The steering IS responsive- road feel however is not what one would expect of a sports car or a sportier sedan like the Mazda 6. Handling is controlled, predictable and inspires confidence. The CVT is among the best available and does well enough simulating normal shifting while helping fuel economy.
Acceleration is good- not great and probably slower than most in its class. AWD makes a significant traction and drivability difference in all kinds of weather- particularly snow and rain. Safety appears integral to its design and comfort as the reviewers stated is excellent. In adverse conditions or challenging roads- there is no car I would rather own.
Visibility is among the best. Interiors are attractive, well laid out- but not opulent. The Infotainment Center is superb.
As for styling-the car is handsome and conservative- competitive with older versions of the Accord and Camry. Newer versions of the Accord and Camry are sportier- but not necessarily more attractive or practical.
I think its target market are families that want a safe,. predictable and comfortable sedan.
I have this car 2018 and got it because I live in Colorado and needed AWD !! Love this car!! Also I don’t need a fast car because I have so many speeding tickets!! Overall so comfortable driving
Great review as always!
Always have a soft spot for Subie's, but I just traded my old Opel Agila for a newish (1year) Astra Sportstourer. Infotainment is nice and the LED-Matrix-system is sick but it does not pass the visor test! Love it and would love to see some EUish cars reviewed by you guys, but I greatly enjoy seeing cars we don't get over here at all.
Cheers guys, keep up the good work!
I am not sure if these are the right people to be reviewing a solid reliable sedan. Maybe they would be happy in a 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse with a broken A/C and a farting bumble bee in a can after market exhaust.
Is that a face in the rear armrest at 11:08?😨...😂😂
That funny
can't believe these guys, I have a 2.5 and it's got plenty of power.....
I mean... in the grand scheme of things not really... maybe in 1998
I have the 2019 and they have a lot of modifications to the exterior to make it look better. They also have some performance stuff to pick up a little more torque.
Just got one too, but still think that the 2018 looks amazing in my opinion!
I bought my legacy becuase it was cheap, comfortable, and blends in so I can speed on my 100 mi a day commute. My STI was a cop magnet which slowed it way down. I had to add some blue trim on the grill and smoked breaklights so I can find it in parking lots..... #dadfeatures
I sold Subarus for about a year and everybody I sold Legacys to loved how comfortable they were and how many features you got for the money. It’s not a drivers car but the paddles help engine break in the winter is what I told customers who said the same thing you said about it being a CVT
I've got a 2015. I very much agree with the styling. It is an ugly car. I own older Subarus, and early gens had curves and cool design features. They LOOKED good at many angles and were interesting to look at. The Legacy is the first car I've owned that is aesthetically bland, so far as to be devoid of styling. From a distance, it's not attractive. From close up, it's not attractive. I wax my cars, and one thing one finds when waxing is working with the body shapes up close, touching and viewing from various angles. Most cars have attractive features, elegance visual and tactile. The Legacy, nope. It's immensely disappointing from afar, from up close, at any angle, and even physically. There's no nice line or shape to the entire thing...anywhere. It's actually quite weird.
I do like the headlights and taillights though. That's literally the only attractive feature on the entire car, and you can only appreciate it at night...when you can't see the rest of the car, haha.
Inside is not too bad. It's plain, well conservative. I'm glad I'm pre gloss black. Boy I'm so glad I'm pre gloss black. That trend needed to die 5 years ago, and I haven't the foggiest idea why it's being perpetuated, especially with literally every product review of every car with it has the reviewer complaining about it. I've never seen one person talk about it in a positive light, but...here were are, gloss black. I though the textured "brushed" black they used on the top of the center console was perfect. I thought that was an incredibly intelligent decision. It looked and felt good, seemed more upscale for plastic part, and it doesn't show dirt or finger prints. It's basically the perfect incarnation, pretty much that or simulated leather grain are probably the two best options out there, and this "brushed" plastic isn't played out like the simulated leather grain.
Yep, the seats are very good. You're not the first reviewer to say so, and they're generally touted as some of the best on the market. The only cars that stand out to me as being better is Volvo, but their seat game is top tier. I'm also a big fan of the arm rest design, definitely excellent placement, very good ergonomics, and great for long drives.
I'm a guy who races autocross and rallycross for fun. I have a heavily built Subaru that's above a level that would be considered pleasant in any way to drive on the road. I find the Legacy handling to be reasonably sporty for what it is. It's a comfy car, but it's also a better handling and communicative car than it should be for the market segment. I've found it reasonably satisfying to drive hard, especially with an upgraded rear sway bar that dials out most of the understeer. It's a soft car, just with a relatively large sway bar or bars if you upgrade the rear, and it's hunkered down low on its bump stops to feel and handle more sporty than the spring and damper rates would normally allow. It can be hooned and quite hard with reasonable competency. Plus it talks to you well enough to know quite well what's going on. It's not a razor sharp sports car, but it's not really a land yacht either. If performance handling is desired, a couple key suspension changes is really all that's needed.
I agree on the engine. The 256HP engine is tuned for low end torque and gas mileage. A simple comparison is the Nissan VQ. They make a 3.7L that outputs 350HP, 100HP MORE than the Subaru! Subaru really neuters the power, and it's the one thing that could really wake up the car. A hot version of this engine would be a lot of fun. I think the instant punch of the low rpm torque is nice for putzing around, but I don't feel it's worth the tradeoff of what could be a much sportier car, especially with the CVT, gasp, I know. I'm saying this as a manual guy. The CVT has excellent ratios and is quite fast to get to any ratio point. It's a design that does very much use the engine's power very, VERY well. It's a product that would actually benefit from and take advantage of a high strung engine.
As for the CVT. I really can't agree. I'm actually a big fan. Yes, it's a glorified snowmobile transmission. However, once you get past that and actually consider and use its functionality, it's rather impressive. It's one of the more ideal approaches to a transmission system, and it works, really, REALLY good. Yeah, the simulated gears are meh, but it's mostly because the ratios aren't really fun. They're way too tall to make sport out of the idea. The result is you may blip it once or twice, and then you're done. It's boring to use.
You end up just leaving it in auto and only using the downshift as an engine brake in traffic or as a speed control down a hill. That's mostly what it's good for and little else. A simulated close ratio box would be awesome on it though. If it had ratios like the old STI 6sp, it would be massive fun. Albeit, I'm not a paddle on the steering wheel fan, and the steering rate isn't fast enough to make paddle on the wheel work well at all for anything that isn't a straight line. If Subaru mimicked a close ratio gear box, the manual mode could be a TON more fun. I don't agree with your comments on the speed. I feel they're plenty quick in function. The CVTs reaction to throttle inputs and paddle inputs are plenty fast and much faster than most standard autos. I believe Subaru says it's around 20 milliseconds, and in practice it IS this fast. I do feel the CVT is something conceptually hard to appreciate unless you perform practical testing. I think its dynamic nature hides a lot of whats going on underneath. The tuning is quite good, and the Subaru setup adjusts both CVT ratio and engine rpm at various throttle inputs and rpm ranges to generate a relatively linear acceleration experience. It's very well tuned, and you often don't realize all the adjustments happening in ratio and rpm as you speed up. As for the sluggishness in manual mode, I think it's a little bit of deception. I feel the transmission is the fast part. It's just the engine that's slow to rev or change rpm, and the drivetrain is sloppy enough where there is some time delay in the inherent rubbery bandy nature of it all. The CVT has a pretty bad stigma and quite a bad rap, but it's actually quite brilliant in its approach and function. I think it's quite underrated for what it's actually doing. I say this as a car enthusiast, a hobbyist racer, and an engineer. The CVT is just not something you are able to appreciate in a day. It's something you appreciate after using it for 3 months...and then going back to a traditional auto, manual, or any other fixed ratio form. It's hindsight that makes you realize how good it really is and what it's actually doing for you.
Mom owns a 17’ step dad owns a 17’ both 3.6R’s. The dark blue is actually really nice looking, and it’s by the far the comfiest car I’ve ever ridden in. Not super fast but not super slow..not sure how this is slow? What 7.2 or somethin 0-60? Eh it’s good for a daily for someone like 50+
I’ll gap u in my 3.6r
I bought this car last month. I love the car. Worth every penny.
Best Legacy - ‘05-09 hands down! Turbo, luxury interior and great looks! Miss the Subaru trying to be kinda luxury days
I agree! Currently trying to find one for close to $3k
Well actually imo it would be 2009 - 2014.
Well, after a string of hot cars, it was understandable you guys review a "anonymous" car. Not to say the Subie isn't competent or a capable sedan, but no one will do a double take when it goes by. You guys make the review of the Legacy more enjoyable than the car deserves. :-)
I had a 15 and as much I loved everything about this car, the CVT made me trade it in for a civic manual, which I than traded for a wrx manual. I’m completely happy now after I acknowledged I need AWD.
Alex Peguero did you have to replace the CVT or what happened
My dad ownned a 2008 Legacy GT, it was a lot of fun and he got a lot of thumbs up from people who knew what it was. He always waited for a replacement GT wagon and they never came, true shame this is what they are now.
If you live in the snow, this is the car. It's an affordable cruiser. You want reliability, safety, snow-ability, good resale and comfort without spending a fortune? This is your car.
This is a nice care. Practical and affordable. Subaru's have a great reputation, and their all-wheel drive system is the best in the industry. Great video!
I used to like the WRX when I was young. Now that I'm a dad, I want this instead. Adulting oh no! :D
LIKE BEFORE PLAY!
you complain about the map lagging by 0.05 seconds lol remember the times when you would have to pull over and try to figure out where you were on a paper map? and then have to go ask someone at a gas station haha
Life lag doesn't count. Electronic lag is painful
To be fair it was laggier when it happens and not as laggy when we filmed it.
I miss the Legacy Outback with the lifted suspension and the gold cladding. Bring it back subie!
I love the 6 cylinder stop bashing it, the Subaru Legacy is one of the few middle class sedans with a bigger engine! These guys are really annoying couldn’t get through the whole review...
Subarus make me sad. They are the like new 2000s Toyota. No more fun except for the WRX.
Depends what you want. Some just need a solid car at a decent price. Here in Florida, we have a lot of choices for sedans. The new Honda Accord is really nice. If I lived in Canada like you guys, AWD would be a huge requirement with the blizzards and hills. So you want a midsize sedan but can't quite swing an Audi A4 or A6 Quattro, then you have to decide between a Legacy and a Fusion AWD. Is the Legacy really that slow with the 3.6? What is the 0-60 mph?
you complaining about 256 being low for a 6 banger and I am here with a 3.7l 6 banger that does 210 hp :/
Hahaha! Tried and true Jeep motor.....
@@SulCoCrazy really impressed you were able to figure it out. I kinda hate the design of it on mine but its definitely reliable so far.
V6 3.0L 200HP
I think you still win for the extra 0.7L but im happy to give you that win.
I always mistake these for the new ford police interceptors when I do a quick glance in the rear view mirror. So not too anonymous for me.
Definitely Subaru. Im not having a fwd car for around the same price point.
I love fast AWD sedans! I want to love Subaru but they are not making it easy. That car does look about as boring as church. They have always been so good at making ugly or boring cars. The fast ones are ugly, the slow ones are boring.
"I'd like to start this video off, with starting it off with something" - Yuri.
Did you not already start the video off, by starting off the something to say how you'd start the video off.... or something?
My fiancee just bought one, it is pretty comfy and there is nothing 'wrong' with it, but they are right, it is sooooooooooooo boring.
I like my 2018 legacy sport, and my steering wheel controls are Matt black. I also like that the sport has black grill accent. But wish I could of afforded the 3.5l
I really wish Subaru would bring the levorg wagon to the Canadian market, it's a perfect mix of this comfortable sedan and the fun of the WRX
You will have to move to Australia, it's basically a WRX wagon.
The 4th Gen Legacy was really the best that Subaru have made
Russell Robinson agreed! I loved those frameless doors!
Not true, the First generation legacy was the best one they ever made. I have had Subaru's since the early 80s and I currently own a 1993 Legacy.
yeah that 4th gen Liberty was smooth looker, i had a manual sedan and also a wagon.
Yes it isn't the most powerful. But it'll be on the road way longer than the ford or any other brand.
I don't know why but watching this review made me so bored. It's not you guys, It's the legacy. Design and ambience just has a dreary feeling mostly the color. I miss the Legacy Wagon 😫
*whispers* “mediocrity”
Elegance through simplicity ! Unpretentious. Just classy.
Love it ! Want one !
Subaru fanboy here, and I'd take the Accord.
That being said, my dad has a Legacy and it is the perfect car to sit in and drive highways. The seats are mad comfortable.
Curtis Stuart 😬
So proof that it is a "Dad car". I would have bought it in Sport trim with a manual if it was offered though :).
There kinda is a "Legacy wagon", it's called Levorg, but it isn't sold in USA.
Great review! You guys are truly great at what you do.
I actually really like the more bland design of the Legacy. It just looks so sophisticated, mature, and understated. Overall, though, I would probably want to go for something more sporty (and eye-catching) like the Mazda6, Optima, Accord, or Camry. Nevertheless, from one car reviewer to another, keep up the impeccable work!
Subaru messed up their Legacy. The old ones are the one to go for.
Interior reminds me of my 2016 Camry.
05 - 08 legacy 2.5GT is a XL WRX while this thing is a Taurus
Compare to Volvo Sedan seat and this, which one is more comfortable?
Enai Nakai I think this is the most comfortable. Volvo was more of a firm comfortable but this is a soft comfort. Also being able to rest both elbows and have both hands on the wheel.
It's way better than the Accord and Camry. I think it looks way better too. But they probably should have put a Fa20 from the WRX in it though.
The 2009 Legacy is one of the most beautiful cars ever made
Royhan Um, no
jesus that is almost more bland than a VW, impressive
VW coming up in a few weeks
Hope it's an Arteon! Although wouldn't mind the new Polo if that's sold in Canada at all
TheStraightPipes please say it’s the 2019 jetta!
Review a Crosstrek! Ok, or don't. But it's awesome. Doesn't handle like a Kona. But great.
when i drove one for 6 years it was comfortable, adequate, and slow. I only saw dads and grandpas driving them. Since then I've gotten a Golf R to compensate
dorkultra But moms and grandmas drive Golf Rs. 🤣
Hmmm. I'd take a ride with a Mom in a Golf R.
We owned a 2012 Legacy Limited with the 4-cylinder engine. While this one is much nicer inside and the infotainment system is a huge improvement, the exterior looks are so bland compared to previous generations of this car. I wish Subaru would go back to offering cars that had more quirky styling. This is completely boring. Also, I’ve driven one of these, and it was completely boring to drive, too. The only reason to buy one of these vs. an Accord, Camry, or even a Mazda6 is if you simply must have full-time AWD.
I couldnt agree more. I cant wait to trade my car in or sell it so then I dont have to drive this car ever again. It's a great car dont get me wrong, but it is as bland as plain white bread.
The best most boring car ever made :) Killed it again boys :)
And yes....Ford Fusion Sport is dying for a reason :P
subaru don’t listen to them, keep the piano black 🤨
The exterior looks like a Sonata and a Fusion had a love child. Would you take this, the Fusion, or the Optima, or Sonata, or Accord, or Camry, or Passat, Sentra, or Malibu... Mahk says take the Malibu. For the money, if it was a new car, I'd probably take the base Stinger.
Stephen Y malibu like 2015 are so good
Accord
Optima or Stinger for sure, maybe a base Cadenza
Nobody is buying the Cadenza... and that's the problem.
Malibus are Chevys which means they've won JD Power Hammer Award. Ask Mahk.
The Subaru Legacy's styling stands out in one area, front overhang. That's a lot of Legacy hanging out before the front wheels! Makes for a nice long hood but that's wasted space, better used for rear seat and trunk room.
For value I like the Legacy. Comfort for drivers is a good thing and very underrated.
The new Camry is nicer, and the Accord sportier, but to really enjoy those cars you need to pay a bit extra
Give me a boring Legacy, and I will be just fine.
Keith Berry Ditto!
Sameeeee! It actually fits all of my needs. I'm not a sportscar driver.
Dude do you guys still remember the good fast legacy's back in the day?
Yes I almost bought a 2005 spec b
Bought the car yesterday. Loving it!
Mark 2033 how u like it so far?
Do you still love it? Im thinking of getting one (or the 2020) soon :D
When the subaru is SUS 😳😳
i was looking for this
CVT, ugh. That's the only thing making me drive my interest from it...
I have a 17 Forester and the CVT is the only thing I regret. Otherwise the vehicle is great.
Just bought a 2018 legacy and love it. Front end looks sharp other than that the rest of it looks average. Pearl white looks so much better than the gray. On point with the comfort.
rockoutwityourcockout just got a 2019. how do you like it?
Having owned a 2005 Legacy GT back in the day, I have to say, this video made me really sad. They USED to make fun cars/wagons .. now we get this. The automotive equivalent of a microwave. You get in, push a button, you get where you're going, then it's done. Zero engagement in everything they make except the WRX/STi, which are still several miles behind their competitors. Toyota ruined Subaru.
I almost bought a 2005 legacy gt spec b - Jakub
I'm still looking to buy a legacy gt spec b but they are so rare in western Australia 😭😭
Well the BRZ too, and that is at least 85% Subaru, but yeah, bland cars are where the big bucks are, which is what Toyota proved in the 2000's.
Ahh, such a great and unassuming car they were.. especially after a tune. I threw a set of adjustable coilovers, a larger intercooler, and a Cobb dyno-tune on mine, and it was quite fun to embarrass people on the street and the autocross course with my mundane grocery-getting family sedan.
eikonise how is the brz/gt86 80%+ Subaru ? 🤔
Just wanted to say, I've got that same Vincero watch and love it. Although I do use it to tell time :)
can't believe someone who loves good cars would settle for fake watches and promote them
We need money. There's nothing fake about a watch that exists
Vedad I’d rather support a company that supports the shows I like to watch.
Huh. I guess being dad-aged (no kids) helps me to appreciate that the Legacy bodywork appears to be stretched in all the right places in the front 2/3 with a modest tail end. I get the same gut reaction seeing a Legacy as I do the previous gen Honda Accord (one of the best Accord designs when compared against the newest "design"): A well balanced exterior that's pleasing enough to the eye and not edgy / polarizing enough to be an outdated visual train wreck in a few years (see "Toyota Camry").
Frankly, I see these things all of the time when I'm on the roads in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and I appreciate them for what they are: highly practical, reliable, usable and a very smart buy for the average worker who needs reliable automotive transport across four seasons.
Subaru continues to remove barriers for buyers, too, with their efforts to update their head units into the smart phone compatibility era.
nice review guys! keep it up! would love to see a review on '18 Acura ILX too. thanks
