| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The headrests are leaned too far forward, pushing my head forward. Could not get a comfortable seating position. I had a headache and my neck hurt after about 10 minutes. It was even worse in the passenger seat. see full Subaru Legacy review |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The V^ has 70 horsepower more than the 2001 GT that I traded. The powerband is smooth and the transmission shifts great. The car has the power to blend into traffic on a highway, and yet the MPG is better than the 2001 GT. see full Subaru Legacy review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
This is my fifth Subaru Legacy, all chosen for their AWD, symetrical aboxer drivetrain, and engines. Styling is great but second to the mechanical engineering. see full Subaru Legacy review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The all wheel drive system works really well in bad weather and snow. The turbo engine works well at altitude vs. naturally aspirated engines. see full Subaru Legacy review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Very quick and durable engine- very similar to the drivetrain in the WRX STi. the AWD is amazing. for the price, no one else really offers a 6 speed manual and awd. other options are the a4, or 335. but those cost alot more. see full Subaru Legacy review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Turbo DOHC. 5 speed automatic. Planetary center differential with multiplate lockup clutch. Rear LSD. Except for the engine, none of this stuff is available in the 2008 WRX whose engine has 20 hp less, although car weights are within 200 lb. see full Subaru Legacy review |
