Compared to 2010 Volkswagen Golf (Grey)

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Handling
This car is really fun to drive. The handling is great, the manual transmission is great, and the ride is comfortable.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Discounts & incentives
None were available at the time I bought mine. These tend to sell as soon as they hit the lots, so it's tough to get a good deal on one. I think the Golf TDI is worth it though.

Other Reasons to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Fuel economy, Powertrain performance, Materials & workmanship, Cargo capacity & towing

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Tires, Dealership practices, Quietness

  A good find if you like to drive
A member from Massachusetts, United States

Compared to 2010 Volkswagen Golf (Grey)

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Exterior styling
Probably the "best" looking of the Legacy styles. There seems to be some crossover between Audi owners and Subaru owners as this has the most European look of Subaru's library of designs.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Interior styling
Overall, interior quality is good (for Subaru). Minor niggle that I still hate: no cup holders in the door sills. It's trivial, but I'd really use them if they were there.

Other Reasons to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Insurance & depreciation, Cargo capacity & towing, Safety & braking, Handling

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Quietness, Rear seat room & comfort

Compared to 2010 Volkswagen Golf (Grey)

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Exterior styling
The body style of the 2009 is better than the 2011, the lines flow better. The outside is certainly better than the 2001 I traded in.

Compared to 2010 Volkswagen Golf (Grey)

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Reliability & durability
Best Reason Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Exterior styling
The car is too tall. The car has an over-inflated look to it compared to the previous sleeker Legacy model. While the ground clearance may be necessary for the Outback model it is excessive in a sedan, especially the "sport" model.

Other Reasons to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Front seat room, Rear seat room & comfort, Price or payments

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Fuel economy, Handling

Compared to 2010 Volkswagen Golf (Grey)

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Exterior styling
Aggressive stance. A bit polarizing and unique.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Fuel economy
A bit thirstier than I had hoped - but the AWD probably has a lot to do with that.

Best Reason to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Reliability & durability
Had the previous model. I never had any problems, it was a solid car, as all Subarus seem to be.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Subaru Legacy: Exterior styling
The Legacy is much larger than the previous generation and in my opinion is not as nice looking.
