Everyone is SUV crazy these days, nothing wrong with a good Sadan, they have separate locking trunks. A feature I like for a commuter car because I carry emergency roadside gear.
25-34 MPG is JUST OK, for you? You do know this has a Sym-AWD drivetrain, with a $22,200 starting price, and a great track record, right? There is no other car like this, right now.
MrWalker1000 😂😂😂😂😂tell that to the people getting stuck in snow, sliding all over the place on the roads and being forced to buy an SUV or another AWD vehicle if they live on a snowy weather area. With this car you DON'T need an SUV, it will take you anywhere in a safe manner.
For the most part, Legacy is a great car. I've purchased 3 of them. The audio system on several 2018 models is generally okay with one annoying function. I don't know about all models but this is certainly true for Legacy and Imprezza. When the car is started, the radio automatically comes on quite loud. When the car is turned off, the radio stays on until the door is opened. It doesn't help if you turn the radio off or the volume down. The audio system resets and the same annoying loud behavior is repeated when the car is restarted. So if you are on the phone or having a conversation with someone when you start the car, you will be interrupted and sometimes embarrassed by this annoying design flaw.
Press and hold down the volume button for about 30 seconds. The radio will completely shut off and will remain silent at start-up. To engage just push down on the volume knob and you will restore the audio. Yes it is annoying and a definite time waster. However you will appreciate the silence over the deafening roar you would otherwise be subjected to hearing.
@@SilverDog-zl9wm Glad to be of help. The Legacy may not be flashy or exude curb appeal however they will always never look outdated. Added bonus*** theft rates are nearly zero...something Camry and Accord can't say.
Living in Newyork , you definitely need a all wheel drive system. Too bad honda & toyota are not equipped with the awd system. The 2019 Nissan altima are comming out with a awd system but itshe not a full time awd like the subaru.
I just picked it up yesterday. I have the Sport with the optional packages but am unsure if it's 2.5 or 3.6. What I can tell you is the power is there when I need it. Supposing your aren't planning to redline this thing, either option should provide enough stab to get the job done.
I know someone that has either a 2017 or 2018. It's had problems with the power steering and then some time later developed a problem, with the key being stuck in the ignition. Evidently a sensor was the problem with the key. The power steering was fixed but its noisy at times. I believe my friend is going to trade it in next year and doesn't want any more Suburu's. I've always heard Suburu was a good brand. Perhaps my friend just got one with problems. That can happen.
Now that you guys have owned your 2018 legacy for a year or two, any issues with the quality of the A/C? Thinking about a legacy, but live in FL and A/C is critical. TIA.
My co-worker just bought this car. It's nice. However, she is very annoyed of the fact that as soon as you turn on the car, the radio comes on, you turn if off and try to use navi and the raid comes on again. She called the Global Service and they told her its a feature. Does anyone know a heck to turn off the radio?
Subaru's are known for nice interiors, but that exterior.....what were they thinking? It does not stand-out from the crowd and just looks like a Honda.
chokehold I got my legacy limited 3 days ago, and the taillights perfectli alignited, so the car reviewed here must have been the exception. By the way, I like it a lot.
There is no cooled seats nor a panoramic sunroof, but the exterior profile looks handsome and good, the interior looks good but the interior and exterior is still on the conservative side even though it is not utilitarian compared to the new Camry, Sonata, and the new Accord which go for a more sleeker, stylish, and a more premium appearance.
MIQUEL AVERY a salesman told me they are actually getting rid of the v6 option entirely and moving to a turbo 4 cylinder. If thats true idk what the point is in sending out v6 models to dealers
JTundra I’m aware of that. It’s been controlled by the dealers so. The option gets less and less. Even though there’s a turbo that might come out. I’m not down with paying over $34k for a four banger tutor. Just need to keep six cylinder options. In General.
MIQUEL AVERY same. My options for the legacy are either A) custom order v4 for $25,000 or B) custom order v6 for $29550. Or ill just say to hell with it and get a wrx haha
The 2.5L with only 175 hp is not powerful because the vehicle is awd and it feels heavy when you drive it. It needs more horsepower 200hp or better. Same thing with the V6 it should be 300 hp or better. The leather interior needs to be better quality.
I hate that high pitch ringing noise!!! Sounds like a flash bang just exploded in your face. I can’t believe people in Colorado actually drive this car.
No HUD???? For 33k? Jeez it’s very Plain and very boxy design especially on the inside interior is very foxy and looks like like something out of General Motors of early 2000’s
I have a 2010 legacy and was considering upgrading to the 2018... but it feels like the car exterior feels very flimsy and cheaply made. Too much plastic for my taste. I'm still on the fence because they do offer good value, not a fan of the parts being used. Also the engine is getting old, sure they improved ride quality and all but they are still using the same 2.5i engine from 2010... disappointment, I was hoping a bump on the hp, they should make this at least 200+ hp. All the other cars on this size and class usually pulls north of 200hp easily.
There is a lot of minuses on this vehicle although I like for will drive system for example as one gentleman was saying headlights uneven it’s something that is bothering me as well as single exhaust at the back when they could’ve easily put the second one and scored a lot more on the luxe as well as technology wise my comparison to Honda accord 2018 Honda is far far ahead of legacy
Live Leak, the new accord looks like they forgot to add some parts in the front, and, with a tiny (14 + gallons) fuel tank u don't go to far, u have to stop for gas before u need to go to the bathroom,
it's shame that these cars aka competitors of honda and toyota try to sell their vehicles at the same price as toyotas are..for instance freaking buick Hyundai and POS FORD are trying to compete with top selling cars (toyota , Subaru and Honda) . honda and Toyota have high resale value and millions of fans
Effin amazing car, but 1. No sports mode 2. No break hold 3. No Heads Up Display 4. No ventilated seats 5. No panoramic moonroof 6. No birds eye view 7. No cross lane camera 8. Cant start the car remotely from your cell phone or your smart watch. 9. No amazon alexa None of the above. Not even at the top trim at 33K. NO THANK YOU
antonio most cars have become cheap and plastic no shit. AND this is an affordable all family type car than those german car you're probably thinking about. If you're saying other cars like honda, kia, etc. arent plastic, you're ignorant.
The most underrated sedan in the midsize market today! It’s an elegant,straightforward, clean vehicle!
2018 and still with the most intimidating horn in the world

This subaru is 100000000000000000000000000000 times better than the WRX
Nah, wrx is trillion times better than legacy or NA impreza.
I am loving the new design
Great Review Cameron. I just wish they would offer a turbo engine in this car again. The flat six option is just too thirsty for everyday DC traffic.

Cedric M 25 - 34 mpg is good on an AWD it's great!
Honda Accord is still a better buy than this

Nice video,cameron!
Thank you Marvin! :)
Great video! Could you do a review of the GMC Acadia SLT All Terrain?
I bought a Honda a couple years ago. Should have gotten a legacy.
Could you please try to do a review on a 2018 Hyundai Sonata
Subaru accord and CAMRY are my favorite cars..they 've high resale values.....
WHY NO NEW VIDEOS IN last 5 years?
You are doing something else?
Thanks,

That wheel design hides brake dust nicely.

Can you mute the navigation voice guidance? That's all I wanted to know.
YES you can.
someone who has this car help me out
should i get the 2.5L 4c or the 3.6L 6c
dont know if the 3.6l is worth the lower mpg
I just picked it up yesterday. I have the Sport with the optional packages but am unsure if it's 2.5 or 3.6. What I can tell you is the power is there when I need it. Supposing your aren't planning to redline this thing, either option should provide enough stab to get the job done.
Does all the 2018 limited trims for the legacy have the steering responsive headlights?
Yes
Nice review! Why dnt u drive the cars?
the central control design look like old camry
The interior looks gray to me, looks nice to me, I like it gray that way

2018 model doesn't have a key slot for the ignition...push button.
Fake news.
Why are they still using old lights in the back with no real up to date design or graphic like all the new cars today🤷🏽♂️
dont forget 25/34 with awd!!
When will we get a review of the new Crosstrek?
2 Weeks sir! Outback Review has been filmed as well!
Do the side mirrors have automatic retraction?

The air conditioning is very efficient and during those sudden Florida rain falls the a/c will make an excellent window defogger.

Deem, just press the upper knob on the left.
Are cooled seats too much to ask for?
silva0003 for a car that's around $22,000? What you get with this is very reasonable
@@alasdairmackintosh the new Kia forte has them
@@dilloncarpenter2637 the materials are much cheaper in the kia and it doesnt have AWD.
I love it a lot, but a redesign is needed especially when you look at the new Camry, Sonata, and Accord.
The Sonata actually got refreshed for 2018. For some odd reason, Hyundai decides to call it a redesign anyway....
FarhantheMovieGuy. AKA: MovieSimulator9000 Oh, yeah. Why do they do that Lol? So weird.
A Redesign is coming around 2020.
Subaru Outback please
Subaru's are known for nice interiors, but that exterior.....what were they thinking? It does not stand-out from the crowd and just looks like a Honda.
Camry and Altima aren’t AWD. Not sure how you’d even compare them when it comes to the drive trains.
neither is honda
Subaru precolision system
Great car, but the taillights being uneven bothers me. That's my only complaint.
Uneven? The trunk isn't latched, it's slightly popped, so they're uneven because of that.
Unless I'm missing what you're talking about...
chokehold I got my legacy limited 3 days ago, and the taillights perfectli alignited, so the car reviewed here must have been the exception. By the way, I like it a lot.
Tony stanziani how much was your legacy
leebron 30,500 plus tax
same but 25k on 2016
Why pick the legacy over Honda Accord
MrWalker1000 awd
and a good sleeper
As a lover of the Honda accord, the legacy is just more practical. I'd love it if they came out with their own pickup truck.
All wheel drive
When I look at a Subaru, I just want to take a nap.
🤣🤣

"stylish" = waste of money
I prefer seeing the 3.6R. There's not many test of them only the 4 banger. Start giving 3.6r credit.
MIQUEL AVERY im trying to find reviews of the 3.6r but i can only find like Maybe 2 decent ones
JTundra I know it’s like their trying to push the 3.6R off the block. And only sale the 2.5 four banger
MIQUEL AVERY a salesman told me they are actually getting rid of the v6 option entirely and moving to a turbo 4 cylinder. If thats true idk what the point is in sending out v6 models to dealers

i do admit it is plain compare to the civics, but the accords? they look horrendous nowadays.
This car should had at least 190 HP.And the V6 should had 300 HP since they're AWD..
