If you've ever owned a Subaru, it would be a lifetime ownership instead of 36 months. hahaha
Did he say "Chevy Malibu" over the Subaru.?! I'd sooner go back to taking public transportation than owning a Chevy Malibu.! 3 Malibus in my neighborhood and all 3 owners can't wait to get out of their leases. The owner (which will remain nameless) of the newest 2015 Malibu often says he wants to let the car roll of a cliff....he's only had it 2 months and absolutely hates it. We purchased a new Malibu back in 2001 and from the moment we drove out of the showroom to the day we gave it away it was nothing but trouble. Nearly every member of our family has owned a GM car over the last 20 years and today not a single member of our entire family has one.........Hmmmm, wonder why.!? Actually, I shouldn't sound so cynical.... I have to thank GM for introducing us to Subaru, Honda, Toyota......etc, etc.
agreed.
HAHA !!!!! I JUST BOUGTH MY LEGACY TODAY. I SOLD MY 2012 ACCORD AND FELL IN LOVE WITH LEGACY AS SOONEST I PUT MY SKINNY ASS BEHIND THE WHEEL.
I have to disagree a little bit with this review. I own this car. The Premium H6. Got it at a huge discount end of year. The Eyesight system prevented an accident with preventive breaking. I was leaving a green light with a recent BMW next to me. A truck pulled out on a side street, into our path. The Eyesight system beeped frantically and started breaking the Subaru. The BMW lacked any kind of preventive system. Suffice to say, I missed the truck with a few inches to spare. The BMW smashed the truck, costing him over $6000 in repairs - the cost of the Eyesight system. I had no pain from this - he was in a world of hurt. That is priceless. The GPS and Bluetooth sticks (I agree with that), but Eyesight for its price point is awesome as is the overall car. I prefer the Subaru over the Malibu, Passant, and the other cars they mention. It is my first Subaru so I hope it lasts a long time.
You're all wrong.
Car reviews need more cocaine jokes.
Bring it.
Haha it was like for real
I love the fact that you guys have fun while delivering spot on real world unbiased reviews. That priceless authentic reaction at 2:15 would've been on the cutting room floor in other review channels. Love it. I'll be donating a gas card for sure. Keep up the good work guys.
I own this car and I live in the northern part of MN, and I know for a fact how well this car handles bad weather conditions with Bridgstone all season tires. And how well it drives up hill (on un plowed snowy/plowed but icy roads) and the hill holder assist is an extra handy feature. Yup, totally agree with you guys about the interior, but it's adequate. And this car is built for the bad weather/winter states. I love the way my Suby handles snowy/muddy/wet/icy roads.
i am giving this a 60 month review. I live in Eldridge ia. And we drive 6 months snow and ice. So awd is 100 percent of my driving. Thanks for the southern review. But i loved the center console honesty. And you guys rock. keep up the good work.
uhhh boxer v6? lol do more research guys..
Just bought this car! I can't wait for the next snow! I'm ready!
@1:28 The 3.6 is not a V6, its a Flat Six or H6
And the key hole for the truck is in case your FOB dies or gets lost so you can still open the trunk.
Good to know I can get in through the trunk! I just tried it and couldn't get in but I'll keep trying. I had to get my door replaced with a junk yard door a few years back so if my fob dies, im screwed unless I get my spare key
I think y'all know what they mean by V6... It's just that engine type is dominant in the American market and they're used to saying it. There is a 6-cylinder option.
Storage under the trunk floor for your tools or cocaine. Haha!! Great job as usual, guys. I agree on the dash layout; it looks really bizarre. I would buy the WRX over the Legacy.
I think your younger buddy is a little corny in a nice way. I like his and your sense of humor. Thanks for the reviews.
A 2013 Malibu over a Subaru (any Subaru for that matter) really took a chunk out of your reviewing credentials!! Seriously! I was drinking my coffee at my local coffee place at the time I heard this and shot it out my nose, OUCH.
I took that comment as a joke... I laughed. Haha
Legacy > Malibu ferrrsurrrre
Coming from a 2001 Ford Windstar, I just bought a 2013 Legacy 2.5i Limited today. I LOVE it. But maybe that's because I'm used to driving a shitbox. I test drove a 2016 Malibu and absolutely hated it. I love my Subaru though
Hey man do you still have that Subaru Legacy? Is it reliable, have you had any problems?
I actually like the interior. Looks every unique and functional.
Own 2 of these cars a 2010 limited and a 2013 limited. These cars are the bees knees!! Paddle shifters are great for slowing down and for spirited driving. Love these cars!!!
Lmao what is bees knees?
Incorrectly identifying engines, obsessing over interiors like a couple of middle aged soccer moms, and hardly mentioning how it functions as a vehicle (crash tests, stopping distances, gas mileage, etc)....... I do hope this is only your guys' weekend job, because this is a little bit comical :P You two have a lot of potential, don't get me wrong, you could be brilliant reviewers! So why don't you? I get that the modern "everyman driver" is an ignorant consumer who pays more attention to texting apps than driving, but that doesn't mean you have to fall to that level. Good luck on your future videos :)
I do agree about the dash, the stack just seems too... cluttered, too many buttons and doo-dads in a small space, personally would take the 2.5i Sport over the premium, standard sunroof, 17s, foglamps, and butt warmers, without the availability of isight, and navi to gripe about... heres to hoping they drop the new 2.0 turbo in this as well as the xv
You have to put your foot on the brake to disengage it....
If it takes you two 2 mins to figure out how the parking brakes work, maybe this isn't the best career for you both? Just saying.
how would this compare to a Hyundai of the same year. I drive a 16 veloster turbo now and I feel the interior is far superior in almost every way to even the 17 suburu.
You have to put your foot on the brake to disengage the parking brake.
The reason you can stick the key in the trunk and use the FOB, is if in case for some reason the FOB decides not to work. Need to have fail safe. Also i'm pretty sure that was Hill hold and not Hill decent, given the direction of the vehicle on the picture
I love my 2013 Subaru legacy. I don't have wood trim and I don't have the blue sticker things on the dash
GUYS I AM SUPPORTING YOU FROM SINGAPORE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. DON'T GIVE UP AND YOU'LL BE BETTER AND BETTER. CHEERS AND GOD BLESS
I own the 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited and it is a boxer (H) design as well. It is a very good car. We have owned this for 6.5 years now and it has just needed maintenance. A very good reliable car that now has just over 100,000 miles. Have to say it is a very good solid car that is great in the snow and I have to climb a 650 foot mountain every day. If snowing, it gets up it no problem. I have a 5 speed automatic and that is solid. You can go with the Honda, Chevy, and something else - but I don't get home with those cars. I know, the previous car was a Honda Accord - and I had to walk home even with snow tires more times than I can count.
Hey man, could you update me on your review? Has the car had any problems since, I’m thinking of buying one with 130000 kms
@@RafaelAlexandreGoat That is 81,000 miles. If maintained well, it should last a lot longer with a five-speed automatic. Now are car is 8.5 years old (bought October 2013) and the only repair we have needed is the master brake cylinder failed at 116,000 miles and was replaced. It has burned a little oil after 100,000 miles but it is like a half a quart every 5000 miles between oil changes. Subaru corporate told me I can put in the H6 up to 6.9 quarts and it won't hurt the engine. So I put in that amount and at the end of 5000 miles between oil changes the oil is still full. Besides those two things, the car has needed nothing else but regular maintenance. Good luck with the car if you decide to get it.
The gas tank if the same as the 2011 it has a 18 gallon capacity for fuel
First off, there's no V6. It's an H6. Second of all, ten years later, the Passat is crap. Audi is crap. Quattro sucks. Malibu sucks. Accord is dated. This Legacy still drives as good as a new car, and far more comfortable than the Malibu, Passat, or Accord. You can change the infotainment system like in any car. The blue "buttons" on the radio dash are like that because the Legacy is made in the factory the Camry is. Camry has the same thing. I love the way this car drives over the 2016 Accord too, and the 2017 Legacy. Drives like my friends 2024 Impreza RS.
Thank you @talkgtr - we'll try and do better next time - Dave
Alternative method for trunk because electrical systems can fail. Batteries die.. it happens.
do your home work and do the review angain
@szdav - we were just having a little fun. Thanks for your feedback - Dave
I agree with you guys about the center stack, but I think it is a very classy looking car on the exterior. But I listened to the review because I wanted to know how fast the 4cyl is with the cvt and how quiet the car was. Also how much more usefull is the awd over the competitions front wheel drive? Any comments?
@inphi, thank you for the career advice. I'll take some time to really think about your suggestion - Dave
Best reviews in RUclips. Keep up the good work.
"Great for storing tools or cocaine." LOL.....hillarious Alex!
Smashing pumpkins Soma playing during that e brake clip. Nice!
Apart from the center console and the slouchy navigation system. I think this is a real nice car.
Right!, this guys were all over the place with this review. Complaining about menial things like the key feature for the trunk or the eyesight system. Then this 70 month rating thing. What does that mean, a monthly payment?
"I'll give it 48 month, 'cause I hate the car and want to resell it once I own it" or "I'll give it 48 month, 'cause I love the car and wanna trade it once the lease is over"
you guys are right on! i think subaru could do better with their center console.
The ownership scale makes no sense to me. The question you need to answer is whether it is worth buying or who might prefer this car over its competition. If you want to give it a numerical rating then a 0-5 stars rating would make more sense.
@Bob - Thank you. I'm really working hard to differentiate myself from other car reviewers online - Dave
I have the 2012 and the CVT transmission is horrible it revs crazy high but doesn't seem to accelerate and the air conditioner shuts off when you accelerate so in stop and go traffic you get to sweat its a horrible design to work on every regular maintenance item from oil change to headlight replacement is a pain and it is a supposedly sealed transmission that they know fails but they only cover it up to 100 k miles because apparently that's its planed obsolescence age wish i had bought the camry which they don't even mention
1 The paddle shifters are for bad weather driveing , 2 the key under the truck lid is thoughtful and handy and for valet mode, 3 they should let subaru owners make the reveiws not cry babies who are hard to please !They gave me a belly ache and you bet with a timeing chain engine that was nice for us subie owners to hear . Thank you and i approve this message.
Did u just say boxer v6?
I really like your reviews guys you say it as it is,very detailed and honest.
u really gave it the right review. they manufacturer must listen to what u said. thank you
It would be a boring world if we all drove Accords. I found the Honda uninspiring and uncomfortable. The value of a car goes way beyond the look of the fenders, styling is one thing, function is another. The Honda is an everyman car, the Legacy is a drivers car. The legacy has better road feel, better driving position and better handling, more important to me than "styling". I found your review to be very pedestrian, you don't understand the hill holder and were confused by the parking brake.
Some are saying the legacy right now is not full-time awd. Can you guys confirm the rumor? Btw, my legacy got 21 mpg for pure city driving almost as bad as my outback 3.6.
Bit late but i had to put my 2 cents...Firstly the 6 cyl is H6 not v6...secondly you just supposed to step on the foot brake and pull the parking...no need for putting it on drive...also it would be great if you guys could get your hands on the WRX and the WRX STI and do the reviews with both of them ?
The sensors are looking for that line, so it wouldn't work in the snow. Good question - Dave
I drive a 2010, it is sporty,you don't get this kind of ride from Honda or Toyota, the peddle shifter are great, do you know how much you have to pay if you want that on A4 or Infiniti, they are useful in winter time, I use them all the time, it gives the car a sporty ride, over two years and the drive is still exciting. 100% recommended over the other cars in this price range even a A4.
Thanks! All that I see posted on RUclips insofar as Encore footage shows it putting around town. There is some footage of the Opel Mokka AWD in less-than-ideal conditions, but it would be nice to actually see the Encore AWD really put to the test on snow, ice, mud and sand.☺
I want to get a Subaru since I was told that Subarus r good for crazy weather conditions. I’m jus concerned about the prices. Hopefully the interior has changed.
It makes more sense, yes. Thanks. I would still say that the interesting question is whether I would actually buy the car. Not how long I would have it if I bought it. In my mind the big decision would be whether to buy the car, not how long I'd keep it once I'd bought it. Your scale it sort of counter-intuitive to me :) Keep up the great work! :)
@hubergeek - The EMD Ownership scale is based on an analysis of U.S. vehicle registrations by Polk, a leading global market intelligence firm, that reports the average length of ownership of vehicles that were purchased new has risen to a record 71.4 months, or nearly six years. We've mentioned this a few times but don't always mention it. Does that help? - Dave
I'm sure the guy in the audi hat knows what you would see at an optometrist's office. He's tried to get that eye fixed so many times...
This is a great way to review cars keep it up
Just curious, how tall is Dave? Watching the part about him sitting behind himself and wondering if I could do that too.
I gotta agree with these guys, the interior is not all that great, but that is not the reason I am buying a Subaru to begin with. The high cost almost always comes down to the unique system Subaru has in their cars and awesome safety features. I would go a different brand if the inside really worried me that much.
Great review, very detailed and honest.
Chevy is not in Subaru class)) the parking brake works fine in P mode if you have your foot on brake, this car aint for you guys.
I didn't see anything on the CVT transmission. How does it accelerate - noisy - fine? That trunk sure does seem shallow for loading up sports equipment. It it were my choice, I'd have to go with the wagon version for more utility.
I like how the vehicle looks inside I think that you guys really don't see to like this car at all.
V6? Wrong platform.
You're right
@TerranceHorton - I have made a note to look for some Buick Encore AWD footage and info - we will try and put something together for you - Dave
Dave is pretty down on the Legacy. Please get the new Outback and see what he says about that... It's got a little more utility, I need y'alls opinion about it!
You need to push the brake to release the parking break
Thank you, Constantine - Dave
@Ace Car Shipping Auto Transport Quotes, you make great points, thank you - Dave
I've thought about it, buddy. I'll stick to what I'm doing.
No turbo?
Nice review, do you think Honda accord hybrid 2014 is better than subaru legacy, even for snow conditions? Thanks
No, the subaru is a much better snow vehicle (with the right tires equipped)
I still don't think you guys actually figured out the parking brake haha.... I'm certain you only have to press the brake pedal down and "pull", not put the shifter to Drive.
I hope this year is the last one we see this 2.5L in N/A form. It has done its time, with lots of love, but its time to move on and get the DIT2.0 in the Legacy for North America. Waiting after that to turn in my 3.0R.
This boul said PLENTY room in trunk to putcha TOOLS or COCAINE... 🤣🤣🤣⚰️
I like your program guys! Keep doing it!
Dear Everymandriver: I understand your rationale for the rating system, but it is still not helpful to me as a potential car buyer, and detracts from otherwise fine reviews. It would be more helpful to give it a rating on a scale of 1 to 10, 0 to 5 stars, poor to excellent, etc - something that everyone can relate to. We are not deciding how long to own a car; we are deciding whether to buy one.
Thanks for all the research and the helpful comments that go into your reviews.
Alex, Dave - will you test the Outback?
Flat 6. The optional bigger engine is a Flat 6, not a V6. Even these "reviewers" couldn't get that right so I don't blame you.
nice job dave and alex! r u getting any bmw's soon?
You can get it as a V6? Isn't it an H6?
This is Subaru Crosstrek XV and I dont like you talking about my cousin Legacy that way.
Now I haz a mad !!!!
Yeah though you guys are right, wood grain trim doesn't belong.
what type of gas can you put in it ?
liquid
at 8:06 sounds like he said theres a place to hide your cocaine lol
good to hear, thank you @klatup - Dave
It only turned off cuz you put it in drive and you didn't realize you had your foot down on the brake then.
You think you guys could do a video on the 2013 Subaru Impreza?
Thanks for the good review
No you can not get a V6 in a Subaru, only horizontally opposed (boxer) engines
I hear what your saying @jonaswang79. The EMD Ownership scale is based on an analysis of U.S. vehicle registrations by Polk, a leading global market intelligence firm, that reports the average length of ownership of vehicles that were purchased new has risen to a record 71.4 months, or nearly six years. We've mentioned this a few times but don't always mention it. Does that help? - Dave
@kcfield1 - yes, we're looking closely at our rating system and trying to figure out a grading system - Dave
It's a nice car inside and out. But that center console does not go in this car. It looks cheap. They shoulded added a darker color. Subaru you need to make a better interior for next year. All so in the rear the car needs better staking looks cheap in the back. The Front is Awsome.
You seem to have down that it's a boxer engine, but make the mistake of saying you can get a V6. The 6 cylinder is also a boxer engine... as ALL Subarus in the U.S. use.
it took you two minutes to figure out the park brake.... what, are you both pre-schoolers?
yes we are.
8:05 lol! I can't help myself, I think I'm having my first mancrush.
your intro music is from the Rockenbok toy commercials on youtube. weird
