2023 Subaru Legacy Touring XT Full Review: Drives way better than it looks

- The Subaru Legacy Touring XT is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This is a fun to drive midsize sedan with all wheel drive and provides a nice blend of ride and handling qualities. The turbo engine is THE reason to buy this car.

Just bought one. Its a great car. Handles great, the interior is excellent, fit and finish are excellent and performance with the Sport is great.
Congrats on your purchase!
Great review. Very detailed and too the point. Clear and precise commentary. Appreciated and subbed
My Favorite sedan… and such a plus to have a CD player in it -
Nice Review👏🏼
Very good assessment of the vehicle's good and bad points. I own a 2022 Legacy Touring XT, which is very similar. The one thing I would add is that the car is slow off the line until the turbo kicks in. Then, it feels powerful. The leather is fantastic! Thanks for the informative and insightful review.
Brake boost it and it will fly off the line 👍
Thanks for the excellent review! You are on my top 3 reviewer lists ! Keep up the great! Happy subscriber !👍
Great review, i do love the engine and the S# drive in my 23 legacy sport
Love it...thought the sport is prob a better deal overall. It is very well developed, in the case of the engine and AWD and w the turbo and vanilla style is a bit of a sleeper, which is also cool. The refinement of the Legacy by now is awesome! I am def looking into it in the future.
Nice job - very honest and informative. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Nice reviews, 👍
My father brought a Subaru Legacy touring xt to Ukraine and at that time no one had one! This was in 2021
Now that the Napa leather comes in black I’m on the waiting list.
Considering Subaru is already building at SIA plant a combined Sport and Touring trim for Canada, the GT, with SI drive, there is almost no excuse for the top Touring XT to not have SI drive…but one does get a CD player.
Great review. This car is tops on my list to be my next vehicle. I love the color combination and that turbo engine is awesome. I do not understand why Canada gets the GT version but the US does not. Maybe for 2024?? Fingers crossed.
The US does get the "GT" version. It's called the XT, which is the same car with same motor
@@rallysauruswrex Appreciate your comment. I should have been more specific. Canada’s Legacy GT model from what I saw from the video is a combo model of the Legacy Sport and Legacy XT Touring. I wish we had the Legacy GT model here in the US as I like the amenities of the XT Touring but wish it had the SI drive that the Sport has.
By now, you may know the 2024 GT is called the Sport. Same car as the GT in Canada. I hate the Sport name. I'd much prefer GT.
Thank you for the informative review. Coming from a 2020 WRX,looking to see if I should keep it or go the Legacy route.
Let us know which way you’re going!
would be great if they have surround view, especially for the touing xt outback.
We have a 2022 Legacy Limited XT with 14k miles and overall like it very much. It's comfortable (excellent seats and ergonomics), drives beautifully and has great acceleration - the turbo engine/cvt combo are better than I expected in every situation. (My other car is a 2019 Mustang GT Convertible.) I was mainly nervous about the big screen because my wife is not techy but she's had no trouble with it at all. Maybe we've been lucky but we've never experienced the lagging or glitches, it's just not nearly as convenient as buttons and switches, that's for sure. The rear view camera is terrible. We dont like that the remote start is restricted to a phone app. Almost everyone hates the stupid and intrusive auto-stop/start function so I won't even get into that!!
Hey, please give me your opinion on the legacy touring xt vs mazda 6 signature which I have....I like the mazda but not AWD...thoughts!
great engine, fine loking interior, well deserved 8 out of 10. Subaru may benefit if they added some elegance and sportiness to the exterior design.
Good video i give a 8 out of 10 :)
Great review thank you. I think this is even better than the new Accord.
I'd say the quality of the interior materials is definitely better, but nothing else in my opinion.
@@shojussatellite radio is not even an option in the Accord.
@@musicmaniac68 Well luckily I don't listen to satellite radio. You can just download the app and play it that way if it's a big issue.
Def better than the accord but keep telling yourself that.
Great looking car
I drove one and really liked it. My only real complaints were the infotainment and the blindspot created by the Subaru eyesight system/rearview mirror.
The screen is huge but the software seems a bit outdated. Also, because the screen is vertical, there is a ton of wasted space when looking at the backup camera because of the aspect ratio.
The blindspot might be exclusive to me personally because im 6'5", but the rearview mirror and eyesight system completely block my view when looking to the right out of the winshield. For example, when looking for traffic coming from the right at an intersection.
I'm only 5-9 and my wife is 5-1 so we don't have any issues with it and don't even notice anymore but I would imagine someone your height definitely would! (It's also ugly.) P.S. my other car is a Mustang convertible and even at my short height I have to crouch to look under the rearview mirror to see the right corner!
I love inside design.
I would get it with the spoiler. Adds just enough on that back end
Love the Napa leather 😊
I love the fact they have the cd player because I still got cds 😂
Love this, especially with the java brown interior, very rich looking. The exterior is so boring it’s cool. The blue appeals to me too but have to see it in person as the shade really varies depending on the picture/video. Would go Gray over Java as a backup. Would definitely take this over an Accord or Camry. You see those on the road all the time, too common. This is super rare and a total sleeper with this engine. The Accord doesn’t have AWD and they dropped SiriusXM, immediate deal breaker for me. The only Camry I’d consider is the XLE since I have to have memory seats. The interior on the XLE looks cheesy to me with all that weird quilting on the dash and door panels. My 2 cents.
nice review! do the lower trims come with a cd player too?
It is a dealer-installed option on all lower trims, or can be purchased for around $275 online from certain dealers, including Quirk parts on eBay. Fits 2020-2025 Outback as well.
interior quality is far better than honda,kia,huyndai,toyota. It's mazda level
5.5-5.7 0-60 on other videos with a Dragy attached.
I own a 2022 Legacy Touring XT. Would not recommend it to anyone asking. My engine was leaking oil at less than 800 miles. 11.6" infotainment screen is the worst of the worst. No matter how many firmware Subaru releases, it gets slower and continue to glitch. Terrible rattle on the eye sight, above the infotainment screen on the dash, moon roof and passenger side door and seat belt. Driver Monitoring Systems is as bad as the Auto Stop Start. City MPG is barely 16MPG. I can't wait to dump mine after its paid off. I am not bashing Subaru, we own 4 total in our household and still drive all of them.
@M I cannot agree more. We currently have a 2016 Outback, 2018 Crosstrek, 2019 Outback and my 2022 Legacy. Mine is the newest with the most issues.
If you are going to complain, you have to give a solution......
@@thegrmcrckr488 not sure if you are directing this to my personal experience with my 2022 Legacy but not that Subaru cares or reads my experience so no solution on their part. For me, based on my experience with my Legacy now plus reading on forums. I don't recommend them to anyone. If you have a good experience with your Legacy, then good for you. I just want people to be aware, if you plan to buy one and keep it past the factory warranty, I suggest getting extended warranty. Mine was early on with my oil leak and was covered by the factory warranty. Hopefully that is in the past for me. As far as the infotainment issues, I have brought it up to my service advisor and he made a note and I also contacted SOA about it. As peace of mind. I have 10y/100k gold warranty on my Legacy rn so if anything goes bad, its covered.
@@zyralius ......What vehicle would you use instead? Just curious.
@@thegrmcrckr488 Had the Touring offered ventilated seats, I would have went with the Forester. That’s still something I am going to consider as a trade up now since the 2024 Crosstrek is coming with these 11.6” screen that’s problematic. So I am hoping Subaru offers a trade up soon or hope the 2024 Forester doesn’t have this 11.6” and get that when my Legacy is paid off.
Looks better than the Honda Accord
The infotainment system while big, is a big turn off.
This is like a grown up version of WRX.
BRING THIS BACK TO EUROPE Subaru!!!!!
Tech means nothing in 5 years. Tech creates a car that is a throwaway just like phones. I need a car to do its job not become an obsolete computer.
Not interested because the dials and knobs have been eliminated and those functions have been incorporated to the unintuitive slow moving screens. Do we really need a screen to remind us of birthdays and anniversary's? Studies in Sweden have shown that the reaction time for screens is slower than physical controls.
too bad subaru doesn't have a more aggressive trim level for the legacy. if they have the sti version
What the heck is a more aggressive trim level ? Be very specific with your opinions okay.
I mean a sophisticated trend level, such as the sti version would be nice. clear enough?
@@siugarfield7647 No.
The turbo is quiet
It's a great car, the AWD is great. BUT it's only worth the price if you need AWD. Tons of other options.
That license plate reads: "FU"
the outside looks more like a chevy than a toyota.
Back in the day Toyota made cars for chevy.
👍🏻
Pleasant review, but your frequent use of "pretty good" almost sounds like damning with faint praise. You could use a little variation in that kind of phrasing.
Damn,, another knee banger console.
