CARBARN | Subaru Legacy (2012) | Completely redesigned the Subaru Legacy for 2010. Base 2.5i models are frugal and sensible but hardly exciting; turbocharged 2.5GT models appeal to driving enthusiasts and get a 265-hp version of the four; and the 256-hp, six-cylinder Legacy 3.6R takes the territory into more luxurious.
Across the model line, the Legacy feels just a little bit sportier than rival models from most other automakers - Subaru although longtime fans will sense That this latest model, at least in base form, has a few more concessions to the mass-market ( not all a bad thing, really). Fuel economy with the base engine and CVT is good - up to 23 mpg city, 31 highway, making it the most fuel-efficient mid-size AWD sedan, other models but Are not nearly as good for gas mileage.
In Addition to the usual roster of airbags and stability control, the Legacy's all-wheel drive system is an asset on snowy and rainy highways. 2.5i and 3.6R models are Offered in base, Premium, and Limited models, while the GT comes only in Limited Guise - the which adds fog lamps, dual-zone climate control, and other upgrades. For 2012, the audio systems have been revamped; Legacy Premium models get a new audio system with Bluetooth calling and audio-streaming capability; iPod / USB controls, and six speakers.
