I purchased a 2020 Legacy Sport in July this year after watching your review and a test drive at my local dealer. Thank you for the video! I’m in love with my legacy.
The XT should have the aesthetics of this trim. The slower car looks sporty while the turbo powered car looks more appealing for grandma. It's baffling how Subaru got this backwards.
This is what makes it interesting. The car doesn't draw any attention exterior wise, but when you take off, it's a different story. It's an eye opener for sure
(Every time I hear the intro music, I'm sort of half convinced the Terminator is going to show up to review cars.) I actually like the exhaust ports/vents. Kind of a cool look, different. I will say, having driven an eye-sight equipped Forester recently in heavy winter conditions, if the windshield starts to ice over with heavy snow/rain/slush, then eye-sight gets disabled--for obvious reasons. That said, if you are driving in those conditions, it's up to you to drive safely and carefully, instead of relying only on technology. Keep up the good content, thanks!
I stopped the minute I realized it wasn't a V-6 or a turbo. Aside from that, it looks aesthetically pleasing. Great job, Subaru! And yes, we need the exhaust!
Hey Joe. 🖐🏻. Nice all black 🤩but. Couple things like rear a/c , 20' wheels, leather seats, leather doors panels... And 2.5 turbo charger. That is the only things that car needs. 💣💣
20 in wheels are a waist of money. They make your car slower, tires are way more expensive, firmer ride, handles worse. Vanity is not worth all those negatives
@@Hallowsaw Not only that, but there are more potholes this winter in NY than I have seen in years. You cannot always spot them at night. With 19" or 20" wheels, a direct hit can cost $$$.
The idea that the Subaru Legacy ‘Sport’ trim has 182hp and a CVT is a bit ridiculous. I understand that the XT trim exists for those that want the stronger 260hp turbocharged engine with their CVT but this car’s MSRP price then jumps to $34,000 from the $22,000 start price.
Time of death- 5:29. Late to the game but shopping for sports sedan. Hoping for a grown up WRX “lite”. Appearance package? No thanks. Mazda 6 Carbon edition still at the top of my list.
Joe, I commented on your Legacy XT Touring review, which was excellent! I like your suggestion here that this might be the "sweet spot" for price and features. I don't need the turbo and I kinda like the Sport touches (I don't know about those black wheels). In your view, do you feel like a big compromise in terms of the comfort and interior appointments vs the limited trim level?
The Legacy Sport looks good for 2020 and not bad for the price but would’ve liked to see Subaru add the 2.4 turbo as an option. Would cost more but will make the Sport much better for the namesake.
The Subaru CVT is fine. All the whining and honestly it's better than some old automatic transmissions due to the simulated shifts. Also you can turn off traction control and the car drives less stiff and turn it back on when there's bad weather.
All you reviewers want the juice of a turbo but for what? Acceleration at a light that is not needed by most drivers of this type of car? I now have over 2000 miles on my new 2020 Forester Touring, mostly back, forth, and around my vacation home in the Catskill Mountains of New York, and I can verify that it gets up to speed from the light quickly and passes cars on the two lane roads effortlessly - and smoothly. What I am saying is that this engine/CVT combo yields an excellent driving experience at low and highway speeds.
I bought a new legacy and after just one month the windshield cracked while parked in my backyard. Apparently subaru has been having windshield problems for years!
yea.....bleh...is about the nicest I would say on this. I know, I know, many people perceive this as sporty, but I don't see it. It looks cheap to me. I did really like your review of the Limited though. That was a nice Legacy. This, not so much. If I was in the market for a Legacy right now, I would easily choose the limited over this. $2800 increase for the Limited from the sport gives a much more nice looking and what looks to be more comfortable vehicle. IF I wanted a balance of the features and keep the price down, Legacy Premium to me seems like a good deal.
Will a wrx transmission swap be possible. I just want all the features of this in a family sedan where I can still have my gear cruising fun and my family has there comfort. Why Subaru why?
Hope you have seen supergramps from mighty car mods. It uses the 3.6L engine in an older legacy. They have nodded the heck out of it and the one guy uses it as his daily driver
@@Hallowsaw It uses the 3L flat six. the old Subaru Legacys blow the new ones out of the water. Not sure why Subaru to turn the Legacy into a large sized FWD family car competitor.
I own an Outback with the 2.5L, which I picked for the fuel mileage. Overall power is good, but not great. It feels like a chore to pass on the highway. I’d suggest getting the turbo model for the passing power alone.
I purchased a 2020 Legacy Sport in July this year after watching your review and a test drive at my local dealer. Thank you for the video! I’m in love with my legacy.
That is so wonderful Tyler! Congrats on your new Subaru!
I just bought one two month ago! I love it!
Beautiful sedan. Amazing one at that price point. Not to mention the reliability of Subaru, the interior is very nice.
My 18 legacy is trash. I made a mistake lol
Damn those black wheels look really dope with this car's color. 👌
I am so glad that you liked this one!
I have a 2017 Legacy sport. Great ride and very dependable. It’s my first Subaru and I love this ride .

LMAOOO
hey joe i love when you zonk something. it reminds me of the classic lets make a deal game show!
Thanks Rich! I really loved that show as a kid and still do today!
The XT should have the aesthetics of this trim. The slower car looks sporty while the turbo powered car looks more appealing for grandma. It's baffling how Subaru got this backwards.
I totally agree with you!
@@antonroux6737 I agree, but I think it is the thick spokes of the rims that are offsetting the color.

Subaru doesn't do V engines
@@TheSuburban15 you got me there! Forgot about their iconic boxers. 🥊🤙
Hey Joe Chevy Finally Updated the interior on the 2021 all-new Suburban ....it only took 50 years
I like it because it does not have grill cancer like the Accord, the Camry, and the Altima.
I wish I could get the sport with the turbo
I wish I could get the Impreza Sport with the 2.5L
@@TheSuburban15 That would be ideal, the 2.0L just feels too anemic!
Cars are dumb nowadays tbh. All about cosmetics. 40k for an accord nowadays? Wtf happened? Lmao
Inflation. @@alwayscrispy666
Well, I think that you convinced me. I presently have a 2018 Forester XT. Driving Uber, I think I would like the Legacy Sport for the MPG.

Just found this video after looking at your Nissan Altima review.... 🤔 this might be a better option. Again thank you for your reviews
Thanks Erick for your great support!
Very sleek exterior if you can get a blackout Subaru logo would be perfect and the exhaust like Joe said. Interior nice too 👌🏼
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Quad exhaust would be insane ! Really top it off also needs turbo
I totally agree with you Drew!
and yes this car does need dual exhaust in the back but what it really needs joe is that new turbo for this sport model
Looks stealthy in black. Black quad exhaust would look good. Needs the turbo for being a sport. CVT?☹️ Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Suburu, put a turbo on it with a manual/8 speed auto option, you wont be able to make enough of them.
I have this car and I agree.
Hey joe..can you a review on the 2020 volkswagen passat RLine please. nice reviews as always dude
As with your previous Subaru video, my 'perfect' midsize AWD sedan doesn't have a CVT.
Hey great review. I just realized that you changed the cars while driving. The first part of the driving was probably with a limited or touring?!!
Anyone else notice at 17:18 the model of the Legacy changed, there is no DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System. ;)
That is a sweet car!! Love the touch screen!!
Legacy Sport needs the option of the 2.4 Turbo. Doesn't have to be standard but definitely an option.
This is also the 1st legacy sport since 94, when they had the legacy ss (sport sedan)
@J Packard Joe said new for 2020, my bad.
Still not turbo like the ss was
Awesome video!!
Wish you could've been at the Burb/Tahoe reveal Tuesday night. An after show Raiti review, especially the Z71, would have been awesome.
I wish I was invited! :-(
I like the black on black on black with this sport legacy model!
I am sure you love it!
It's just a sexy ass car. I just got a 2015 in tungsten. Between this and the forester sport trim.....ugggg *chefs kiss*

Hi Tony! Thanks for reaching out and for watching! I would say you are still getting the comfort.
The Legacy Sport looks good for 2020 and not bad for the price but would’ve liked to see Subaru add the 2.4 turbo as an option. Would cost more but will make the Sport much better for the namesake.
Interior roof is beige? ZONK!
No hood struts? ZONK!
Love my '15 though.
That vehicle has a GD RUBBER BAND TRANSMISSION CALLED A “CVT”
Don't use GD to referr to any Subaru except the 02-07 impreza.
Just say GOD DAMMED asshole.
You piece of shit.
Btw, fuck a cvt
@J Packard no.
Bring back a REAL auto or a dsg/dct
@J Packard I wanna put 06ish LGT running gear in my gc8.
They have 5speed autos not 4speed
Underpowered for a so called Sport sedan and a CVT zonks it. Looks good though .
Ditto for the Impreza Sport. Subaru, please, MO' POWAH BABEH!
The Subaru CVT is fine. All the whining and honestly it's better than some old automatic transmissions due to the simulated shifts. Also you can turn off traction control and the car drives less stiff and turn it back on when there's bad weather.
Always give you a thumbs up without watching it first because it's always quality

Thanks for your feedback.
Why does the base model not have a button to open the trunk in the trunk itself. You have to use the fob or hit the button from inside the vehicle?
I bought a new legacy and after just one month the windshield cracked while parked in my backyard. Apparently subaru has been having windshield problems for years!
I'd love to see Subaru offer a hybrid version with the xt engine
That exhaust is a crime. 10 zonks
I totally agree!
"Where's my Exhaust?"😂
Hey Joe . I noticed the car from the start is not the same one in the dirving test . What's the difference
The wife was cracking up when you said keep your enemies safe also she almost wet her pants🤣😂JK

Very safe design, and it won’t stand out. Kinda looks like an 09 Acura TSX.
I totally agree with you!
So weird they dont have that sport sharp/intelligent for the turbo models. Very backwards to me
Legacy, Camry or Passat? How would you rank them from best to worst?
Camry, Legacy, Passat.
Currently looking to buy this car
The stealth legacy! Love it.
I can't help but think Tesla model S when I see this things rear quarter.lol
I know right 🤯
hey joe i love subarus. i have 2 of them
Hi Rich! That is really awesome! I will keep bringing them to you!
These black wheels, unlike the regular ones, are not one pattern fits all ones
Is it small on the inside? I'm looking into getting a new car and I love sedans I just don't like elbow to elbow type of sedans.
The car is everything but small. It's one of the bigger sedans out there, I think. No complaints
gauges in 5th gen legacy much better, here they are like downgraded. So will it accelerate faster in manual shift mode ?
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I have this car but in red what is exhaust pipes gonna do if you put them on the back because I want my stuff to be louder and faster
Good idea!
How do you like I’m looking to get a new car thinking sticking with the legacy or get a tlx
Actually considering this over the accord and Camry just because everyone doesn’t have it. Loo
I can totally understand that!
Why get a high spec legacy when you can get a base WRX for the same price?
I want quattro exhausts and great sounds
You drove different cars i noticed the driver focus feature disappear
I love my 2019 legacy !
I am so glad that you are happy!
Will a wrx transmission swap be possible. I just want all the features of this in a family sedan where I can still have my gear cruising fun and my family has there comfort. Why Subaru why?
Yeah, I don't get it. Subaru was doing it right with the Legacy GT. All the go without the bro.
That is amazing MPG !
All show and no go
AGREED!
Is it possible to disable the cruise sensor?
Is the 2020 model the same for 2021
Dope looking car! Ask Scotty what he thinks about Subaru’s tho 😬
Life DotCom
Scotty doesnt know, Scotty doesnt know.
Scotty is an idiot.
They should turbo charged the 3.6 L engine and see the great potential it holds
Hope you have seen supergramps from mighty car mods. It uses the 3.6L engine in an older legacy. They have nodded the heck out of it and the one guy uses it as his daily driver
@@Hallowsaw It uses the 3L flat six. the old Subaru Legacys blow the new ones out of the water. Not sure why Subaru to turn the Legacy into a large sized FWD family car competitor.
@@aireone3465 sorry bud, it uses the ez36d engine and it is turbocharged.

How is cabin noise? I’m thinking of trading my Impreza for one of these ...
It actually wasn't too bad. I think you will like it!
My next vehicle....
I wish we can get this with dual exhaust
Nice looking 4-door car ..
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
After reading the comments I didn't know how popular sick shifts are until now
I think that it doesn’t deserve the sport badge, it isn’t sporty enough exterior wise, Subaru needs to do better.
Subarus are so boring they should come with a warning that says "diabetics, don't drive this!"
Can please make video about base trim...
I will put that together for you!
Is the turbo an option?
R they reliable ?
Why you never do Cadillac especially the sport models?
Stay tuned because they are coming!
Asking any owners past and present, do you think that engine and the HP that comes with it is enough?
I own an Outback with the 2.5L, which I picked for the fuel mileage. Overall power is good, but not great. It feels like a chore to pass on the highway. I’d suggest getting the turbo model for the passing power alone.
@@serenityinsilence Definitely what I was expecting yea! Fun to drive but not gonna get ya in trouble haha, thanks for the reply!

LOL
Hey RR how about a review on the 2020 accura mdx ?
13:33
Joe passes an outback wagon
This should be MT with turbo at least to be called (sports)
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
The vehicle is blacked out but yet you have blue Suburu symbols in the front and back of this vehicle.
It would of been cool if they produced a special emblem.
Raiti's Rides - amen 🙏🏻 brother 😀
Skip the awd Legacy and get the Sonata with snow tires (if necessary).
It don't look too bad no lie
AGREED!
As soon as i heard cvt i lost interest
I feel your pain!
You are like doug demouro
Thanks!
Welcome
I mean it
Is dodge doing a redesign to the charger in 2021 because it really needs one
No word yet. It has been a long time coming.
This car is in competition to be more boring than the Passat 🤔
Wiggle Rock it’s nicer though in my opinion
Sonata can't compare all cars are in a class of there own but i don't really like the Hyundai the 2020 sonata yowwwww it is sick
I'm confused on what you trying to say. You dont like Hyundai the 2020 sonata vowwww it is sick?
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
Nemesis ACCLMETOR
Ill take the sonata or optima. Waaay better design, interior, technology.
Also less resale value, and personally I question long term reliability on the sonata
@@redwinger40 dont question it. Reliability is there bud.
Yet neither has standard AWD....
doesnt look too diff from the outgoing model
Its bigger, or at least it feels like it. Just looked at one, I'm big and it had plenty of room. 6 foot 1 290 lbs.
8 seconds to 60 is slow no matter how you cut it. they should put a V6 in this one
I totally agree with you!
Looks like unmarked police car
AGREED!
Wait, you don't like all the cloth?
Alcantara i.e. suede is a cloth.
Carbon fiber is a cloth.
Come on Joe lol
