The acceleration is very good compared to other cars costing about the same. Getting on the freeway is very entertaining. I like the sound of the turbo whistle. see full Subaru Legacy review |

Ye olde 4 speed transmission is slow to react and has a hard time choosing the right gear. Shifts are often abrubt and unexpected. Engine runs out of steam at around 35mph. see full Subaru Legacy review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
The shifter was notchy (possibly because it was a new car) and the gearing was such that the car was loud on the highway. see full Subaru Legacy review |

Excellent engine and automatic transmission. I think better calibration of the automatics trans would result better sudden acceleration and overall driving experience. see full Subaru Legacy review |
