Subaru's AWD system is absolutely, without question, superior.
Thanks for the in-depth review!
Love it. Lucky to get one. Very happy. Good fit.
I’ve been driving a 2015 Legacy 3.6R for 80k miles with no issues whatsoever. Only routine oil changes, a set of tires, and 1 brake job. By far the best car I’ve owned. Love the interior of the new one, although I’d go with an Outback next time around. I wish Subaru was a bit more daring with the exterior design, but for the money, it’s one of the best out there. For those saying this is not worth $36,000, look at what $36,000 buys you in a mid-sized sedan. A loaded Fusion that has been discontinued and will have horrible resale value, a loaded (maybe) Honda Accord with no AWD, no premium audio, and lots of road noise, a Sonata...again with much lower resale value and no AWD, a Nissan Altima with its horrible powertrain and low resale value, a Camry which will be more $$$, or a Passat with spotty reliably and low resale. The Mazda probably is closest but will cost you more loaded and again no AWD.
What’s up? You bring up great points. I got the ‘18 2.0 Accord and I can vouch for the road noise. HOWEVER, I recently got a new set of tires and I can say that the road noise has decreased tremendously. I believe it is the factory Goodyear tires it comes with. I never was a Goodyear’s fan anyway. I went for the Uniroyal tires for this new set and I am liking it so far.
Any and all Mazda options give you AWD, more tech, better resale, better reliability, and a real transmission for less money.
@@TheTastyMorsel not correct, the Mazda 6 doesn't have awd option.
@@tv_on_u-tube8995 The Mazda 6 would be not be a competing product. But yes, I understand your point
Love that blue and love the interior!
Took delivery of a Touring XT in blue last night. I love the interior and the exterior (which I thought was a little plain) is growing on me. Test drove a Kia K5 and while it was nice it can't compare to the Legacy and the resale value will be less. Yes, the seating is very comfortable. The driver's seat has a pull-out extender for the thigh support and I've never felt more comfortable seats in a car (I'm pretty tall and need that thigh support).
I like the structure in that you review 👍🏼
Thanks!
Great review. Thanks. Any chance you do the 2021 Mazda6? Weighing options between that, this, and the Insight!
I'll definitely will at some point! 😁
The guy responsible for the huge 11" screen is a Tesla fan hence the giant screen. I bet the replacement and recalibration of that thing is a monster. Great review!
it is fuel efficient it has outstanding it is safe i love the legacy it is the best subaru ever
I jus got a legacy 2019 and I’m in love with my car
Love your reviews Gold pony, actually there is a dealer installed wireless charger for every trim except the base and if you do your math right you can have it included like I did with the sales person at no extra charge.
Had a 2017 legacy and recently swapped it for a 2020. Legacy’s are def for the driver forced on a comfort-safety ride IMO and after driving the 2020 for the last 2 months I’ve only found 2.5 cons (I’m a Virgo so that’s excellent).
-Auto stop has to be manually shut off every time the car is turned On. (Subaru has heard the complaints and added a shortcut button on the main screen).
-12v outlet in the truck has been removed
-overhead lighting was slightly better in my previous model
-face recognition times out a few seconds after opening the door and when I have sunglasses it has warned me to keep my eyes on the road when they are (rarely).
Great Review on the interior
Thanks!
Do you have an opinion on which sedan is the best to buy (Camry, Accord, or Legacy)? Considering overall price, quality, longevity, etc.
I ordered a Legacy Limited should have it by end of May.
Just purchased a 2022 today identical to this one. Dealer by me has one coming in the second week in November so I had to snag it! Looking so forward to this
Awesome car! Congrats!
@@goldpony Thank you for that! Great review and great channel
Nice review
Thanks!
Digital cockpit is coming for the Subaru. Debuted on the 2021 Levorg and now the new Outback . With the new Eyesight x. In Japan so far. We'll see when they plan to bring it Stateside
Looking at a 2021 Subaru Touring XT and a 2021 Acura TLX - you’ve driven and reviewed both, Subarus are running a couple thousand dollars cheaper, I’m guessing the Acura is worth it? Your thoughts?
i bought one of these this summer. Though im in canada and the touring XT is called the premier GT. i'm surprised this has no wireless charger. My car does. though i also work at the dealership and i know that wireless charger comes in the trunk when the car is delivered to the dealer and it's installed at a dealership level as part of the pre delivery inspection. maybe the dealer hadn't installed it? or do the US models perhaps not come with the charger. interesting. Also a fun fact. That CD player only comes as standard equipment on the touring XT/premier GT it's not on any other trim level but is available off the accessory list
It does have a wireless phone charger as an option.
I'm glad they brought the turbo charged back
Now if only they'd bring back the sporty looks of the 4th gen and a non-CVT automatic transmission.

I test drove an XT model as well. I'd say it's a bit fun to drive, very nice interior and the exterior is better looking in person, particularly in darker colors. I wish the exterior was a bit more aggressive looking and the CVT isn't bad but not great. The K5 GT would seriously eat up legacy sales if Kia was going to offer AWD. However, only the lower K5 models with the 1.6t do offer AWD and Subaru's symmetrical AWD is one of the best in any segment. I'd personally take a legacy over a Camry, but the Accord, Mazda 6 and K5 would be my personal picks in the class if I was in the market for a mid sized family sedan.
AWD was the one reason I chose the Legacy XT over the Mazda6. Couldn't abide the one-whieel peel at T-junctions. They could have fixed that problem with an LSD, but Mazda is apparently redesigning the 6 with an inline 6 and RWD. Might check them out at trade in time...
Okayyyy, I love my Camry butttt you SOLD me on this Legacy! I want one!!
I just bought one
It is fantastic, I am been driving many cars but none is as enjoyable and comfortable as this one and it is not “slow” due to the cvt cause it still has a top speed of 150 mph which is way more (10-20 mph more) than Camry, Accord and all the others in this segment. I only spend $60 a month in gas
Also this engine, the 2.4 turbo is the best engine that Subaru has ever developed and they will put it on the new WRX-STI but with even more power
Also Nappa leather is for few Luxury brands today, the so overvalued Lexus for example uses fake leather and after 4 years you get ugly “luxury” peeled seats good for the trush but on Subaru you get Nappa leather which it means goat leather (the most durable but yet the most soft touch and luxurious leather available).
I smoked so many people on Honda, Kia, Mercedes and all of them remain speechless and ask me: “but the you tubers said that the legacy is slow! How is that even possible!?” lol. Today people buy cars on the 0-60 factors or on the name factor but there are so many other factors that make good cars on with this Legacy you can only hit the jackpot for the money; I’ve got my fully loaded touring XT for 35,500 bucks plus $3500 taxes: $39,000 and there is no Mercedes, no Lexus, no bmw, no Audi no Alfa Romeo better than this Subaru at that price; they offer similar optionals but they all lack in something like space, leather quality, speed, mpg, safety, back seats accessories compared to this Legacy, It really is a hidden treasure that only car lovers can discover and appreciate
I have a 2017 Legacy best car I’ve ever owned!
My 2016 has been great
14:15 "No wireless phone charger" This actually is an option, and you can add it after purchase, below the front USB ports. Subaru P/N H671SAN200
There's also a remote starter that should have been standard, H001SAN000 for the XT.
I got it via the subscription app. Can start it and change the climate control from anywhere.
Don't bother. It's garbage ... at least for iPhones.
I love my 2020 Legacy. This kinda made me regret not going for the XT, but I'm averaging 33.2 right now in my 2.5, so I guess that makes up for it.
How is the driving feel? I am looking at a legacy from my 528i bmw (2008), I'm rather used to the smooth shifting from the transmission, is that present in the Legacy?
What about ground clearance on the legacy ?? Love that turbo engine !!!
It is less than the Outback which is 7 inches. Usually about 5 inches.
I just bought one, the xt
All that nice feel from the seats is from the Nappa leather unfortunately you have to spend a lot more for the trim level to enjoy that.
Very Nice,Should have bought one of these instead of an Accord
Wireless charger is an option.
Great review. I like everything about Subaru except for their CVT transmission.
Yes, Paddle shifters for a CVT is a complete waste. Artificial through and through.
Agree!
Well, it is incredibly reactive to be a cvt and it saves in gas when you don’t push flat on the pedal IMO
This is Boomer-speak for "I like to wind gears out, and I think I'm a drag racer." The CVT is butter smooth, and the only time you notice it is when rolling out with the turbo ... or at the gas pump.
Is the touchscreen still laggy ( after the first minute) after the newest update ?
Yes. They switched out the entire head unit of our 2020 Outback with a newer, software update compatible one, and it is noticeably worse. The head unit in my 21 Legacy is just as bad. They did not give this thing powerful enough processors.
Only thing I would add is a spoiler to it!
This kinda looked like a 14, 15 Accord at first glance
Does it have signaling for blind spot cars or passing vehicles
Yup. Right in the side mirror arm, like an Audi. Very noticeable out of the corner of your eye.
A well engineered car...not the most stylish on the outside...much improved on the inside!
Personally I didn’t buy the Lexus because had fake leather and looked too feminine so I have got the much more masculine and better refined interiors with my Touring XT
Like I always said, smart people drive Subarus.
Truth, this car is only for few exclusive car connoisseurs.
Yeah when we mature we tend to think a bit wiser. You are wise person to notice this!
Not gonna lie, if they make this Legacy in manual transmission, I’d trade in my Accord. But I would want it to have everything with the big engine and all like my 2.0. The only thing it has that I’d like is the AWD. But really, this car looks pretty nice. Subaru, make this in a manual trans, please. Thanks.
They say that so few people buy manuals that it's not worth their while to make them any more.
You and 5 other people would THINK about buying it.
One change...6:52 in
Like AWD car
My next car 4 my wife
Subaru got stuck in 2014 with their designs.
How old are you
mid 30's :-)
I had one , did not like it , engine too noise and the worst infotainment ever , at the beginning was running fine , once you start pairing phones and running phones it really crashed
And the start stop engine was horrible and really rough and to turn off I have to go to menu and submenu
Did not like it
When I started it in the morning it sounded like a big truck
And I use to love subaru , if they ever change the infotainment I may consider it again
Thanks for the review
Very nice test drive. I got my 2021 Subaru Legacy Premier GT ( different model lineup in Canada) in January. It’s the top of the line. In Canada a wireless charger comes standard. Also this model has gun metal wheels, it gives the car a more agressive look, see my video: th-cam.com/video/R3bb2-N_oeQ/w-d-xo.html Again thanks for the test drive. It’s my 6th consecutive Subaru and with the winters we get in Montréal it’s an excellent car to drive in winter.
Does not look like a $36,000 car...the body looks like an appliance and rims are a miss. However the interior is on point.
THIS IS GARBAGE FOR 36K .
Auto Start/Stop 👎🏾
Lol the resale value is actually not great. I own one.
Perfect car for Grandma
Lol I have smoked accords, series 3, Range Rover sports, challenger r/t, Kia Forte and stingers, you got to be kidding and it has the top speed of 150 mph which is just 8 mph less than a Mustang GT
@@adriano8809 NOBODY sees the XT coming. The 30-70 punch takes all the racerbois off guard every time. Total sleeper.
@@chooseymomschoose lol, some times I put the paddle shift and turn off the traction control and I shift around 5000… 6000 rpm, it’s insane considering that it’s 400 pounds more than an Accord
Hate the condescending tone. Like the legacy and even Subaru is some unreliable piece of junk or something... I've smoked every 4 to 500 hp Lexus thats had the courage to race my turbo legacy.. Js
Couldn’t hear the engine with him making all that noise…..
This car has everything except for Tech and design the exterior of this car is one of the worst I’ve seen
No wireless CarPlay, no heads up display and no wireless charging! This car is years behind Honda, Nissan, and other manufacturers. With a CD player this car is back to the 1990’s. I wouldn’t buy it even though the AWD is good.
I know right? That’s the main reason why I never consider Subaru, their technology is always years behind everyone else. They’ll probably make lane keep assist standard when everyone else will be fully autonomous.
Has middle class watching these videos when the base model is 20k and then he reviews the one everyone cant afford... Makes this video useless
I review what the dealerships have available. I don't get to pick unfortunately 😕
Subaru continues to make ugly and/or plain looking cars. Their technology is also way behind everyone else, Subaru will still be working on lane keep assist when everyone else will be fully autonomous.
This car is gorgeous
@@EssDubz 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@EssDubz It's an angry 1993 Camry. But the 2022 WRX is pretty fug as well, so ... at least Subaru is ... realizing their vision? As for the tech, they don't care. Everything after 2023 will slowly become a Toyobaru - Subaru chassis; Toyota parts bin, including sensors and head unit. They are putting just enough Denzo wizbang into this model to keep the Boomers feeling hip.
why would this garbage car take premium gas? you say that as if it is a bonus.its a 2.4L 263 hp . please tell us what car in this class would take premium gas ? the answer is ZERO NONE ZILTCH . 36K ??? I WOULD SPEND MY 36k ON G70 even a Camry TDR or any other vehicle that is way better than this turd . this is way over priced . who they think they are Germans !
I can't stand the ugly interior especially that giant ipad thing in the center. It takes your eyes off the road.
