While the #SubaruLegacy has never been the kind of sales leader like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. #Subaru has always offered a genuine AWD alternative to the more common offerings from Honda and Toyota. For 2020, the #LegacyXT is the most powerful #Legacy that Subaru has offered with up to 260 HP and 277 lb-ft of torque. It rides on the same Subaru Global Product architecture as most of its siblings and the interior has been completely redone to include a large 11.6" tablet in the center stack. It should continue to entice sedan shoppers needing AWD but does it have the chops to attract some sport sedan shoppers? - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Good morning guys! The driving scene for this video is a bit different and longer but we really wanted to show you all more on how the Legacy XT drives. Hopefully you liked the dynamic between Sofyan and Clint from Motor1.com! It really is a nice alternative AWD to Honda, Toyota, and Mazda... if only Subaru would consider offering a more aggressive looking and handling Sport trim with the turbo engine 🤔🤔🤔
Great road. Where did you test it?
unknown We were near the Los Padres National Forest.
Redline Reviews Do a drag race between the legacy turbo vs a v6 Camry XSE or accord Touring 2.0T.
Where are your Explorer & Aviator reviews?
Clint needs a WRX, he drove that car very hard and started complaining when the CVT held mid punch for a while. He doesn’t like the Legacy. Here’s the deal, a Legacy was never meant to be a race car, y’all are failing to mention that out of all turbo between the Honda, Nissan, and Mazda the Subaru Legacy has the larger turbo engine and will smoke them all even with a CVT. Subaru has also step up its interior and is now better looking than Nissan and Honda. It’s also just as good as the Mazda. With that said keep doing your shows by yourself and keep Clint away or you’ll lose credibility.
“We make evolutionary changes one decade at a time.” - Subaru
Using the XT engine they had since 2010 and a CVT😂👌
@J Packard Still same output as in 2005-2006.
Since Fuji industries had Toyota as a stake holder Subaru became more of a cuck
@@DMCarReviewsat least now it use regular gas 87 octane
@J Packard Toyota at least has excuse. Their Transimissions are actually reliable
All the things you guys are complaining about, I like - light steering (I like to turn the wheel with one finger like I can in my '72 LTD), softer suspension, tires with higher sidewalls to help with the ride and I like the CVT in our new Forester. I hate multi speed transmissions that are constantly shifting. So, this is a car I would consider in the future.
People who whine about CVTs haven't driven the Subaru CVT... It's fine...
After looking at almost everything out there today & being 64 years young.......I went to Subaru dealership yesterday & looked at this Legacy & loved it.
I just wish Subaru would put a turbo in the Crosstrek.
One can dream! But you know it'll never happen.
I'm hoping that Subaru bringing back the turbo for the legacy and outback, as well as teasing a STI Forester, means that they hear our desperate cries for more turbo. I absolutely love my trek but it's only problem is that it's gutless when it comes to power.
They should throw the 2.5L in there and it might be good enough
This is what I wanna hr in a review
And a real automatic transmission.
Over a year later..Yeah..This is still my favorite sedan made today. The legacy XT is the way to go.
I bought a Touring XT a couple days ago and I love it. I like the understated exterior styling, the premium interior, the quiet ride, the excellent seats, the fit/finish, the tech and the engine. I've never owned a Subaru so I'm not comparing it to models from 10-20 years ago (which I think is very unfair). Standing on its own in 2021 its an awesome car and I'm glad it doesn't have the faddish, overdone styling of the Altima, Accord or Camry. It will age a lot better.
@Nick I was worried too because my previous cars all had cloth seats, but after having gone through the hot summer where its regularly in the 90s and 100s here it was fine. I just set the seat ventilation on the lowest setting and my back never got sweaty. The nappa leather is very comfortable and I get compliments on it all the time about how good the tan looks with the Abyss Blue Pearl paint. It does look very premium.
@Nick Those seats were the main reason I bought it. I'm 6' 3", 205 lbs with pretty long legs and the thigh extension on the driver's seat made all the difference. The seats in general are very comfortable but that extra thigh support is great for a taller person. I have never owned a car that I was so comfortable in.
@Nick Its pretty bad. One of the roughest ones out there I've heard (and the car does shake a bit when it restarts). The disable icon is on the home screen. As soon as I start it I reach over and turn it off. Its habit now.
Most Subaru buyers live up north where roads are rough so the softer suspension is welcomed.
I always say that Subarus are designed for Michigan roads. And that's a good thing. The roads are horrible around here and they handle well in crappy weather
Good job on the video. I will have to check out the XT model if I can find one. My local dealers have a very limited supply due to virus and slowdowns.
Nice! I am so glad to see Subaru update the Legacy!!! It was definitely getting a bit long in the tooth. Can't wait to get my hands on one to review, too!
Keep up the GREAT work, Sofyan! Loving the direction your channel is going. BRAVO!!!
Excellent review as always brother. I fully agree that Subaru is doing an excellent job with their interiors. Now if they would just update the exterior styling, they could really just go to the next level.
That interior is beautiful, I hope the WRX gets an 11 inch infotainment screen
The best feature in Legacy is screen monitor is perfect, very good infotainment system👏
Like how it displays coolant temp right in the dash. I've never had a modern subaru, but in the past, its always been a concern, so knowing how the cooling is performing real time is dope.
I wish more brands would do that
Ty for your review I was interested in the Subarue until I heard your comments about how it handles. I'm looking for a different vehicle now ty
Love the infotainment system because is so laggy and not responsive. Just having a big screen and complicated to use. Just love that because it just looks so big and so colorful and nothing else.
Subaru, put a ZF 8 speed automatic in this and the WRX
You should drag race it against the competition. I really would like to see which one is the fastest. Even though I know that wouldn't change people's opinions, it would be nice to see all these car battle it out for the throne. I'll watch the heck out that.
Good review. Thanks for doing it.
I have a 2017 Legacy sport . Been a great car . No problems and very happy with it.
Those directional rims make it look like the previous gen accord from the side.
I would love to get a legacy. They are great looking cars! It’s plenty sporty!
I am interested in this car. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Audiophiles appreciate cd players in cars. The sound quality is the best, better than FM, HD and satellite radio and MP3. Nice to be able to take along a few of your favorite CDs on a drive. Old fashioned? Maybe, but better sound is better.
Great review - but I could see Clint was changing your mind for you. This looks like a great car! I’m always in search of fun awd car with good gas mileage. The Legacy has always looked so boring with outdated interiors...obviously this new Legacy does not look like a WRX but it still looks better than the last gen.
Why not show the exterior of the sport ? Would’ve been nice to know what you were talking about and get a visual.
Ray Livas Sorry about that! Time with the 2.5 Sport trim was super limited and we wanted to really focus on the XT. Once Subaru sends us one for a week, we will be sure to do another video.
This is not a great channel for getting excellent exterior shots. I'd love if they just use some b-roll from the manufacturer. That wide angle camera walking around the car once isn't cutting it
Cant wait to grab mine! Just ordered the Limited XT
Do you know about how long it'll take to get it? Just curious.
@@ryanlittleton5615 They told me it will be about 3 to 4 weeks.
@@TheCldmstrsn Oh ok cool.
Love the chemistry and review, simple and honest. You just got a new sub.
Sofyan the best!!!
I had a 2016 Forester XT with very minor mods and was holding out hope that the 2020 Outback XT would replace the turbo-sized hole in Subaru's SUV/wagon lineup. I'm glad I didn't wait and traded in for a Mazda CX-5 GTR. The number of changes I'd have to make to a stock Subaru to make it drive in a remotely pleasing manner, and *still* have the CVT to live with... just not worth it. I will say not all Japanese AWD systems are equal and the Subaru's beats Mazda, but I just moved to Socal I'm fine with the CX-5.
Also, shoutout to Sofyan for the excellent review on the CX-5. Definitely watched it more than once when making my decision.
I just test drove one and I am very impressed with the interior. It is very high quality and loaded with all kinds of new technologies. The car is quick and smooth. As for the styling, almost every other brand for this size car, has more eye appeal. That being said, it’s not ugly. It’s just not as pretty looking as the competition. But I do think that the interior comfort and style and overall value is by far the best and I’ve driven everything. I am hunting for a slightly used one with the certified warranty, because I won’t buy anything new due to new vehicles dropping 20% in value the second you drive it off the lot.
I like when gauges do a sweep who agrees, and Great Review Sofyan and your team
Jerald Matthews Love gauge sweeps, my ‘08 Saturn Aura and ‘18 Jeep Compass do it when they start up. My Mom’s ‘13 Buick Regal turbo does a gauge sweep when it’s started too.
Thats screens nice but it looks like its running at 15 fps.
Right, and with two cpu's? It should be running way faster. Definitely doesnt look like it it has that processing power.
Fr😂
Their infotainment has always been shit tbh tho
Needs an RTX 2080 Ti for those Raytraced Google maps.
@@brendanfogel4573 I bet between infotainment and CVT that those two will be the most complained about topics of failure.
Dude.. this car looks AWESOME. Whoever thought about this design, congrats to them they deserve a pat on the back..
🤣
@@gearandtravel it actually looks nice
@@gearandtravel Just saying, how does it look plain??
Can't wait until you do a review on the next generation yukon,tahoe and Escalade
Great review but if you have chose between Subaru or Mazda 6 turbo. Which you pick. Also I look at Grand touring model fro $27 compare Honda $29 and Subaru never have discount 34
And now we are eagerly waiting for a comparison test between the Legacy, Accord, Camry, Altima, Mazda6 and Passat.
yes please! Do a Carwow style comparison!
The Mazda6 2.5T has the same 1/4 mile trap speed of 93.4 mph as the Accord 2.0T 10-speed.
But the Malibu 2.0T has a higher trap speed than Accord 2.0T and is 0.4 faster around figure eight test and leads this field.
"...the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 99.4 mph."
"The 2017 Malibu lapped the figure eight in 26.3 seconds at 0.70 g lateral average and pulled 0.88 g around the skidpad." Where the 6 2.5T was slower at 26.7s
The Malibu 2.0T blows the Mazda6 2.5T(33 mpg hwy) away in highway fuel economy with 37 mpg. Motor Trend
The Mazda cannot put the power down or cannot distribute tire grip in braking on the figure-8 test and will be two full car lengths behind at .4 in arrears at 40 mph speed during the 27s test compared to the Malibu 2.0T. The Malibu will be quieter, ride better and have lower NVH than Mazda, regardless of what the magazines reviews say.
@@normt5463 I would love to see a whole video of that just to get a visual idea too :D
I love the exterior and interior design. Don't like the CVT, but otherwise think it is a great package. Can't wait to see the redesigned WRX. All I want from the new WRX is better fuel economy/redesigned interior/new engine.
I think I'm interested in buying one of those cars , it looks really good.i like the interior and the infotainment system.
I've driven Subaru's for 20 years I always see these filmed in some warm climate. Yes Redline drive this in a DC winter as you pass every 4wd truck and half assed awd SUV off the road and you can do that in all seasons!
Haha I loved Clint's facial expressions to the CVT engine drone
what’s a CVT engine?
@@GodzUnit01 Continuously Variable Transmission
LunaticRed EyeS88 that doesn’t answer my question.
@@GodzUnit01 You know Google exist
LunaticRed EyeS88 google doesn’t even know what a “CVT engine” is so i was hoping some experts here could tell me.
Love this car. My one single concern is how they put a few safety features in the infotainment system vs buttons. Know it’s brand new. But sorta a concern for years down the road the cost of it messes up after warranty.
When Infotainment systems like this fail you're screwed bigtime.
Clint keeps it real, no punches held
I have had 25 cars in the last 34 years and this one is my current one. I have to say, that I have been so impressed by it comparing to my Acuras, Audis, one MB, Hondas, BMWs, one VW and One Nissan and the two Subarus that I had in early 90's. Great interior, good options and a very decent engine. I don't hold on to cars too long but this one, I might hold on to it for a bit longer.
Why does everyone act like the Legacy is supposed to be anything more than an everyday driver? It's a mom car. It's not supposed to anything more than that. It's supposed to be boring and reliable. You want a car that's fun to drive, buy a BRZ or WRX.
Because crossovers are much better at being boring "mom cars." There is no point in getting this over the Outback.
@@chekvb Then get the Outback. Who's stopping you?
The best handling, stiffest Legacy yet is soft and fluffy? Maybe it just needs better tires.
giday from Melbourne we bought our 1st subi, 1984 a leonie, cops pulled us over just to see what the car was, we've owned every model since, brumby utes, Lseries, sportswagons, impreza's liberty(legacys to u), currently an XV. The outback onyx will be our next buy when they come to oz, ,in a sentence...SUBARU , the most underated car on the road today...
We had a 2020 Subaru Legacy Sport when my moms white 2020 Subaru Outback XT Onyx edition was in for its second service and getting a software update on it.
The trim levels make no sense. They need to make it posdibke to get that motor for under 30k. Aftermarket can fix suspension but cmon needs manual
Should have had a hood scoop.
Nope , I had a WRX . I prefer without a scoop but if u really want a scoop u can but aftermarket hood for the legacy
@@unassailable6138 not big fan of after market
This will be my future car, the touring xt. Subaru’s AWD will come in handy if I move back to the northeast.
Wow....this is really nice! I am sold
Subaru already makes a budget AWD sport sedan, it’s called the WRX!! 😂
That was cold 😂
Rattlebox for kids. Not a daily driver car. Subaru used to make the Legacy GT in '06 with a turbo and a 6speed MT, aimed for those who don't want to get the WRX.
@@Neanderthal75 you're right but I don't understand how all these kids/high school dropout looking shits are able to afford them along with the high insurance.
Diesel Douche They spend what money they make on material items. No savings. No 401k. Nothing else
The WRX back seats are too small to fit a rear facing baby seat. It is impossible to find a family sedan in a manual that is fun to drive
I wish next year they will bring a sport xt manual legacy
Yes they will ! It will be call WRX ! ;)
I'll admit it has a great looking interior and the 11.5" Infotainment screen is very nice. That's about all I have positive to say about this car. So many manufacturers today are messing up. Those that are still building real sedans just don't have any offerings that can compete with what I have now two of. Unless you want to shell out around $50K or above for a Sedan. This past weekend I flew to Colorado from Utah to pick up my second 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. This one has nearly all of the Tech including Self Parking, Lane Keep, Radar Adaptive Cruise Control all the way down to a stop, Collision avoidance, Hill Assist, Auto Dimming Headlights, Rain Sensing Wipers. This one had just over 28,000 miles on it and I picked it up for under 16,000. Granted, it has garbage Nexen tires on it . A lot of people are hard on Chrysler in general as a brand and I think it was a big mistake for them to cancel the 200 as they could have fixed the transmission issues and kept it as a flagship car. Drivewise with it's great handling, and comfort I would put it up against most of the competition out there (Accord, Camry, Sonata) and most certainly a Subaru. Having a naturally aspirated 3.6L with 295 HP and 289 Lb/Ft of Torque with AWD is nice. Driving from Aurora CO back to SLC Airport, then to Ogden Utah. My "new" 200C got as high as 39 MPG going through the Mountains and overall with the stopping and traffic we had to deal with, 35 MPG. My first 200C has nearly 88,000 miles on it and as a daily driver to work etc. gets 29 MPG and on the highway for trips will get up in the mid to high 30 MPG range still.
Great, well-balanced review stating what this car is and especially what this Subaru isn't.
Am I the only one that thinks the front fascia looks really similar to the pre-refreshed 2015 - 2017 Hyundai Sonata? 👀
Especially at the 3:38 mark.
True!
You know if it was the other way around the comments would be hyundai copying Subaru an so on and so on. Notice how Sofyan didn't even saying anything about it looking like the 2015 Hyundai Sonata and he always things like that. But like I said above if it was the other way around he would quick to say something.
Yes!!! Not. Abad look though that was my favorite Gen int he sport 2. 0t trim. 15-17 Def looked classy
Yup
The best torque in Mazda 6 Turbocharger 310 lb ft of torque really very high performance , torque of diesel
I’m actually looking into one of these and ridding of my ‘18 2.0 A6. This offers more for less than what I currently have.
I love the styling of it!
Looks outdated
What styling? This is as bland as bland could get it looks like a 2010 model! Yuck
I miss the better styling from the 2005-2009 Legacy. I really wish Subaru would stop with the AWD Taurus look.
Lmao if only they could make a good performance sedan like the taurus sho 😂 mops the floor with this thing.
It's those damn millennials!
@@IReahpZz bigger motor, twin turbo, and a lot more money
@@MrHomolka they don't make em new. My2016 sho was 26k with 20k miles on it. If you want a new comparison go for a Kia stinger gt base awd. There 34k new by me and I currently own a gt2 awd stinger
They look the same
Has Subaru transformed the new 2020 Subaru Legacy XT into a budget sport sedan?
With a CVT... No.
Funny how all new manufacturers are going too CVT's to save cost and reliability.. when they keep up-charging year, after year and CVT's from most brands are not very reliable. Sounds like they're cutting costs on their end to make more profit off of their customers. " Sport " with a 2.5 Naturally aspirated and CVT. Ridiculous. I wish they would all just stick too DSG transmissions.
David Dawson dsg is no good on vehicles meant for off-road on cars like the legacy sure but vehicles like the forest should be a tradition auto or
Manual.... because unfortunately the dct clutches slip and overheat when trying to off-road
@@wolvesdengaming4844 yea, I was speaking about cars since this is the legacy. Wasn't speaking on Subaru specifically. Sorry for the confusion.
@@_dmfd they have to. Specifically subaru. To keep up with efficiency and MPG's they have to go CVT. Especially because their thing is AWD which kills MPG's with standard transmissions.
@@TheKbreezy34 yea, I mean I completely understand that but putting cvts in all of their vehicles is ridiculous. Like the WRX, or even the Legacy. 15 -20 years ago, those were sports sedans and wagons. People wanting to buy something more sporty will probably care less about mpgs over someone buying an outback ( which is also silly too have a cvt due to offroad capabilities ) or any of their other family oriented offerings. Them only offering cvts now I guarentee will hurt their sales in a way. Like I said, not everyone cares about mpgs and there are certain vehicles centered around that kind of thing. But not all vehicles in a brands line up should have them.
Great Review Of 2020 Subaru Legacy XT. 😀
I'm looking forward to maybe getting that FA24 in an STI but I think the regular FA24 will ne great in that car
I prefer cars with smaller diameter wheels and higher profile tyres.
Golf Cart?
Higher profile tires all the way. Ride quality and noise are more important than zipping around corners to most buyers.
I swapped from 19s to 17s on one of my sedans and it made a huge improvement in ride quality. My family rides with me a lot so that’s important.
18" wheels are the perfect size for this car. The half inch taller sidewall of the tires not only provides better ride quality, but also prevents wheel rim damage better if you run over a sizable pothole.
Is it that difficult to put a 6sp manual transmission option for Subaru? Or a regular torque converter 8+ speed automatic, that they don't even have to develop?
The transmission issue makes a lot of potential buyers to look elsewhere.
Great video, although a little to long.
Yeh. It needs 7 or 8 speed torque converter transmission. CVT is just crap on response and long term reliability.
I work at a mechanics shop that specializes in Subarus. I dont disagree with you in regards to the boring and unenthused driving characteristics of the cvt's but I will say that reliability has not been an issue. Subaru has been using these cvt's since 2011 and we are getting Subarus in the shop with 180-220k on the clock still driving strong. The difference is the Subaru made cvt uses a chain instead of metal cord reinforced rubber belt to operate the transmission.
Alex Bellwood yes Subaru makes the best cvt’s hands down
Actually, it is very difficult, and this is linked to Subaru's unique AWD system. Subaru's AWD is very good, but it's also hard to find a transmission that's compatible with it (This is also why they used that outdated 4AT for so long).
Cava Vision I have a 2020 Outback xt. The cvt shifts like a conventional 8 speed automatic. All Subaru cvt’s have torque converters. Before badmouthing a the car you should test drive one.
I totally disagree with your wish for Subaru to have a 19 inch tire on the Legacy’s option list. I live in the Midwest where potholes are the norm. In the real world, no one wants to have to buy a new rim every other month. Bravo to Subaru for not following other manufacturers with the ridiculous trend of putting low profile tires on midsize family sedans.
Some people just don't get it the reason car companies use cvts is because they get better fuel economy and their transmissions just last longer
Subaru: great car well thought out, amazing AWD, great interior, good tech like iSight, good engines. Subaru management says "wow we have a great car lineup we're going to make a lot of money! Wait what we don't want money? Okay let's put an unreliable CVT in our cars and totally RUIN them!" Genius.
100%
CVT also is not designed to be paired with high output hp engine. This will NOT last
Still amazing how Subaru trumps the competition when it comes to interior and trunk space.
Their interior may look more modern especially with the large infotainment screen but I don't know how well it'll age compared to interiors from Mazda and Honda. Waiting on a review from AlexonAutos to see how it really stacks up against the competition
@@ileref 🤔
I mean the trunk space is literally 3 cubic feet smaller than the accord
Come to northern IN, I got my 19 Honda Accord sport 2.0t waiting for that drag race.
hondafan20111 its faster than ur 2.0t Accord, by the time Honda Accord will spin wheels, legacy will be gone
@@turbochargedsubis7377 wrong
I am a 4th gen Legacy GT owner and an happy to see this turbo model back. Definitely would like to see Subaru offer this is a 6 speed manual Sport mode. Only can be hopeful that there is enough interest for them to produce them. The Legacy is the original rally car. Bring back the manual please! I will be in the market for a new car and my heart is winning over the Honda Accord turbo with manual 6 speed! Come on Subaru save the manuals and save the "LEGACY"! Dont veer away from the sport and rally bred brand that you are!
Get the Accord 2.0T 6MT because I doubt it will be around for the next gen of Accord. Sales are already falling on the Accord to being with, and I'm not sure if it's feasible for them to do it. This is me speaking from a consumer-side, but don't wait and lose the opportunity waiting for Subaru to do it. Don't think they will.
Hyundai Sonata everywhere outside. What happened to the hot concepts that Subaru always puts out?
I clicked on this video to see if anyone else thought this thumbnail looked like a Sonata variant hahaha
@@l3n1x
As we all know, Hyundai is willing to take more design risks, which pay off in terms of sales and brand interest.
As evidenced by the 2021 Sonata.
Concept cars are always much better looking than production cars.
14:47 CVT in a nutshell.
They're pitiful transmissions
I bought 2001 outback llbean. 70k on it in 2019 for $2000 almost brand new what a buy . I love driving it
Cobb has already made a tune for the Ascent, so let's hope a tune for this thing will resolve some of the rev hang.
This should increase the value on my 08 Legacy GT 5MT a bit...
I don't think anything with a CVT can be "sporty." Base Impreza with a manual is more sporty than this. And if you wanted an enthusiast car, why would you get this for 35k when a base WRX is like 28k?
When we first started building the updated platform for the Legacy, I HATED the instrument panel with the ugly brown but after working with them for awhile, it's all sorta grown on me lol surprised we didn't go with all digital buttons on the infotainment system. 🤔🤔🤔
I actually like the front look of the previous generation better. Even though the infotainment is larger in the xt, the previous gen with the smaller 8" screen looks better because the icons are bigger and the tactile feel of the climate. The turbo and new interior looks great.
Now if only the exterior matched the new engine and interior. Not opposed to buying one tho, but might need to take it to the custom shop for some aesthetic changes. Even a different set of wheels could really help out the look.
front camera is useless. Great review as usual.
Not if you have a small garage, or drive off pavement, or want to park cleanly, or are just a new driver in general.
I enjoy your reviews and have watched many of them during my shopping process for a car. One suggestion, can you stick to reviewing the base or mid trim models? I know you like to review the GT turbo, supercharged nitrous oxide models but the truth is, the overwhelming majority of people aren't buying these cars and have no interest in spending 30 minutes watching a review on them. I'm sure you are sometimes limited with what you can review based on what the manufacturer gives you but if you could try to stick to the mid-level trims that would be great!
Is 24/32 for real on that 2.4 turbo? My old 2005 LGT with the 2.5 turbo and similar horsepower did something more like 16-17mpg city and 24mpg highway with the 5EAT transmission. Seems like too big of a jump to believe to me.
The ultimate i am a Dad and im getting old, this car is going to be handed down to my teenagers because its safe.
But Subaru is anything but safe.

CVT is not designed for high out put hp engine. This transmission will not last with this turbo engine.

@@truckercowboyed2638 lol
5:37 struts for the front, double wishbone for the rear not the other way around.
Hey, would you prefer the Legacy over the Mazda 6 Signature?
Subaru has become an appliance brand.
Can you disable the auto stop/start?
yes
Just turn up the air conditioner or turn on the rear defogger. It kicks off the start/stop. Or just disable it in the car menu. It will cut back on when you restart the car.
Tom Tom is a more recent partner for Subaru. In my 2013 Legacy it is Harmon Kardon and still get my map updates from them. This looks nice - if and when I need a new sedan perhaps I will get another. So far with 112,000 miles and no problems the car I have is a definitely one easy to own (H6 engine). Sayan wants a sport sedan. Subaru being the small company it is, probably won't do that. That is what the WRX/WRX STI is for - and it is built in Japan. This is built in Indiana.
Love reviews by Sofian. Please do Aviator
Does this 2020 Subaru Legacy has Speed Auto Door Lock feature yet?
pretty sure if your Subaru doesn't you can take to the dealer and have it reprogrammed to do so. Had it done to mine
Terry Keith cool but mine is a 2016 Subaru Legacy and the dealer refused to do so, they just told me it never has this feature ever before.
Well I do know my 2019 Legacy didn’t automatically lock. Took back to dealer and had it changed to lock when put in gear
This has been my biggest gripe with my 2017 , i wish it would auto lock on drive . Super important for my families safety
Terry Keith I did some research with Kelly Blue Book and found out in 2018, Subaru started to put Speed Auto Lock feature to Legacy sedan but I'm still not sure if this is real or not because I didn't see it in person, maybe that's why your 2019 model has this update feature.
You should have Clint on more often. You guys are great together
They look cute together not gonna lie.. 😗
Omg Clint is 🤤...oh yea, great video Sofan ❤️
They actually did offer touring trim before (2019). At least in Canada.
Lol, I can just foresee 2-3 months later: Infotainment unit RECALL but is on back order for 2 months 🥴🥴🥴🥴
To SUBARU: you are losing the confidence of your core buyers with these ridiculous recalls. You are ALSO losing your enthusiast buyers by eliminating the manual. You know you can mate the 6-speed manual transmissions onto any FA motor but you refuse to. Listen to your current consumers and stop trying to please the potential market you’re trying to get into.
They are setting new sales records every year so I doubt they care about making manual cars, a turbo crosstalk, or a wagon wrx/sti
No big changes
Okay I can stay with my 2016 legacy 3.6R H6
Changes: much better fuel economy, improved safety and handling, 0 to 60 time improved by 1 second and turbos do much better than n/a engine's at high elevation.
Final fantasy EM
Its way faster than my 2019 Legacy 3.6r and urs too , even if u race an Subaru accent with 2.4t engine will smoke legacy 3.6r

Subaru needs to put a 6 speed manual in this thing. Driving my 6 speed 3.0 h6 legacy and damn it’s fun
Hey man, love you reviews, but if you have a guy (a guest) who is present for a significant portion of the video, just give him a microphone too :) !
