Subaru Legacy 2008Change

It might not have the looks of WRX or an STI, but it performs as good as a WRX "" far from STi"
economic but uses only premium, this is why 4/5, very reliable, it is also a timing chain and not a belt, so it is a rock solid fascinating reliable car, I drove this car all across Canada and USA, shore to shore and never had a single problem and would always look for another when it is time for it to go if it ever did

I'm Subaru driver having influenced to family members. My dad purchased Legacy over my 2000 2.5RS because he realized AWD and reliable is matter to him even in Canadian condition.

The performance and handle are same, but only difference is size and space; especially the length of wheel base. If you are a parent of family, Legacy or Outback is recommended. If you are single, get Impreza or WRX then. I wish he should purchased Spec-B because it is one of sleeper vehicle lists!!

Warning; Upon purchase of a Subaru you may experience side effects including: hysterical laughter through the winter months, lots of snow drifting, and the need to go out for a drive after it snows.
In the summer, you will experience the phenomenal grip of a perfectly symmetrical drive-train and the smooth power delivery of a boxer engine.

The car rides in comfort; The only vibrations you feel come from the road, and you won't ever want to go back to a non-boxer engine ever again. The interior is well designed, the back seats are quite comfortable, and the controls inside are all easy to reach.

Fuel economy is very good for an All-Wheel Drive vehicle, but you won't be getting much below 8L/100km ... With mixed driving, be prepared to hit ~9.5L/100km (again: that's pretty good).

The outside looks sleek, elegant, and downright sexy from some angles. There is something about the looks of the car that makes it really eye catching.

Reliability is legendary. Keep to the maintenance schedule and take care of the car, and it will go strong for hundreds of thousands of kms. The N/A engine is rev-happy and doesn't mind being slapped around at 4-5,000 RPM. If you have a manual, try to never rev past 6,000.

Yah, that's all. If you're looking for a reliable car that gets you through everything the world can throw at you, get a Legacy. Specifically, a Gen.4 (2005-2009).

This car has always been reliable regardless of the weather. Since I live in Ottawa we have some bad winters, and since I've driven this I never had a problem going anywhere, never even close to an accident since the braking, steering and acceleration are top notch. Summer driving with this car is amazing as well, with all the windows and sunroof open, you can really appreciate how the car hugs the roads and provides you with a safe yet exciting drive everytime.

Drives smoothly everywhere! Great for trips! Have had it for several years and never had a problem! I'm a stickler for maintenance and you will save indefinitely. Would love to have the same car for my next car!

We usually drove Crossover type vehicles because we always had to haul gear to trade shows, but when our display changed, we decided we could look at small station wagons as then we would have a bit more storage space in the garage.
We also looked at the equivalent Volkswagen and Saab wagons, but this car didn't require Premium gas, had symetrical AWD, and cost $10 G's less!
We originally leased it for 4 years, and when the lease was up, we didn't even question purchasing the car.
We use all season tires in the summer, and put on snow tires in the winter. The snow tires make the car a real dream to drive in snowy and icy conditions.
The 'Boxer' engine gives the front of the car a low profile and a low center of gravity so you don't get the upper body roll on tight turns.
Pickup on the highway is excellent, and it will cruise along at 125 km/h for hours no problem.
There is plenty of leg room for the driver and front passenger, and I've heard no complaints from anyone sitting in the back seats (I'm 6' 1" and have the seat completely back as far as it will go). Also, it is nice to step out of a car after driving for 3 hours straight without having to "unfold my body"; I don't feel like I've been sitting for 3 hours........

Absolutely fabulous.
I bought this car while in warranty and I'm going to extend the warranty on power train for another three years (Subaru Warranty), I love everything about this vehicle, decently quipped considering it is a limited edition, while other limited are more equipped but for comfort and performance, this vehicle is unmatched neither in it's class or others. the car AWD symmetrical; served me during my long drives on iced Montana canyons, Lethbridge and many others. it is as I assume best engineered vehicle by the japs, the comfort is not less than Merc / Infiniti / Audi or others, but the only down side is the luxury toys in the driving cabin.
I will sure upgrade the cabin when the warranty is over as I plan to keep this vehicle for long time
