Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid

Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2002 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4

Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid

As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.

2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4

$5K or more cheaper than similar G37. $10-20K cheaper than similar BMW.
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
Costs about $10,000 less than comparable AWD sedans.
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
The price for quality and performance is unbeatable compared to anything else on the market in my opinion. I got a good lease deal and the residual is strong as well.
2008 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Cheap, AWD, and the best set of features under 20k after negotiation.
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
value for money
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4

5-speed manual AWD
I got the car for $7000 under MSRP.
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4

IMO, the Legacy offers great value. Just around $20,000 will get you a very capable automobile with some nice convenience and/or luxury features.

2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4

Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura.
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k.
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4

the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks.
2005 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4

Pricey vs competition.

If you buy one of these new keep in mind that it’s going to take a huge depreciation hit in the first couple years, much bigger than other cars in it’s class.
