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 |
