Huge fan of all your reviews. You are objective and never petty on your more than fair reviews. I did not opt for the turbo and went with the 2023 Limited. I think the non turbo has plenty of get up and go. Plus I wanted the leather trim seats that are not available in the Sport model. Contrary to other reviewers, I think this is a fun car to drive. Superior comfortable ride and awesome safety features. You really get a lot of car for your money. Have a great summer.
Just an FYI, during your test drive you weren't in sport mode. You can see on your dash you were in intelligent mode and the rpms dont really drop below 2k when s drive is on. It really does make a difference in driveability when its on in case that may have affected your review. 👍
I have a 2017 Legacy Sport. I would love one of these with the turbo!! I only have around 40K miles on my 2017 so it's going to be a while before I need a new car.
Hey Anthony. It’s more expensive. I think both the Sonata N-Line and the K5 GT Line are lighter on their feet and more flickable into the turns. The CVT holds the Legacy Sport back.
I have a 2023 Limited non turbo and it runs flawlessly. I did not think the turbo was worth the additional cost. My Limited is plenty quick enough off the line and for merging on highway. Never an issue. Eyesight System has also been flawless and has already saved me from an accident. (My fault). I do not find it annoying and feel safe driving a Subaru. Glad to answer any of your questions.
this is the 35th anniversary of this model first model was released for 1989 oh and Legacy was never a huge seller its down to under 23,000 units per year in the US in recent Model years where as its wagon variant the Outback sells more than 5x as many units annually heck even the Chevrolet Malibu sold 5x as many units in the US last year as the Legacy did 115,468 hell even Chevy's two stalwart sports cars sell more units annually than the Legacy does in most years in the last 17.5 years the lowest sales year for the Corvette was 13,000 in 2010 due to after affects of the great recession granted sports cars sell more in the warmer mos. than they do in the cooler ones though the Corvette has been around for over 70 yrs. and had its highest sales in 1979 54,000 the Camaro has been around for 56 years and also had its highest sales in 1979 283,000 rare versions also sell for a lot of money on the Collector market for ex a 1981 Yenko Turbo Z they sell at a high commission as only 19 were built then the dealer went bankrupt in 1982
Love it! A real sleeper...subtle style, comfort and an assured feel on the road!

Hi. I saw that you also test drove the 2023 Altima VC turbo. How does this Legacy Sport compare? Thanka
Hey Mike. Great review. How does this compare to the Hyundai Sonata N-Line?
Hey Anthony. It’s more expensive. I think both the Sonata N-Line and the K5 GT Line are lighter on their feet and more flickable into the turns. The CVT holds the Legacy Sport back.
Anyone have problems with their Eyesight System?
Any problems with the 2.4 Turbo engine ?

Gun metal Gray and Battleship Gray . They don't make me think WOW.
Subaru needs a real man as CEO and bring all that toxic masculinity back.
The grill and wheels are a hard pass ... hideous.
