Used Subaru Legacy Review

Engineered for dependability and versatility, a used Subaru Legacy has probably popped up at some point during your search for a pre-owned car. However, is it worth a closer look?

If you’re in the market for a dependable and well-equipped car that’s affordable, you’ll want to consider getting behind the wheel of a used Subaru Legacy.

Check out this in-depth review from the team at Val-U-Line® to learn more about this iconic sedan.

Used Subaru Legacy All-Weather Performance

Sedans are often associated with a sleek design and a fuel-efficient performance. While a used Subaru Legacy can check off all your fuel economy must-haves, it’s its impressive all-weather capabilities that really set it apart from sedans out on the roads today.

All pre-owned Legacy model years are equipped with a reliable all-wheel drive system. So, if you’re planning on trekking through a few off-road trails or just need a way to safely get through a snowy commute, this sedan will be able to help.

With impressive all-weather capabilities comes impressive power for the Legacy too! Most used models come with a 2.5L engine or a turbocharged option. Choose the standard 2.5L engine, and you can experience up to 170 to 175 horsepower depending on the model year you choose. Go with a Legacy equipped with a turbocharged engine, and you’ll be able to hit the highway with around 243 to 265 horsepower.

Interior Features and Available Body Styles

From campus commutes to road trips across state lines, a used Subaru Legacy can help you experience the road ahead conveniently and comfortably thanks to its spacious and well-equipped interior.

All model years provide seating for up to five people, and most options come with 93.5 cubic feet of passenger volume. Plus, available heated seats as well as automatic climate control features provide even more comfort for your next adventure. 

Looking for a bit of modern flair in your next used car? A pre-owned Legacy can come equipped with navigation, premium audio, and even infotainment technologies too.

Spacious and well-equipped, it’s easy to see why the Legacy is Subaru’s flagship sedan. However, it wasn’t always just a sedan. For 2007 and older model years, the Legacy was also available as a wagon. With a hatchback design and more cargo volume, the Legacy Wagon can provide the iconic capabilities of this vehicle along with a more spacious and versatile interior.

Used Legacy Safety and Peace of Mind

Pre-owned Subaru cars already have a fantastic reputation for safety and peace of mind. However, in 2013, the Legacy became one of the first to feature EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, the brand’s cutting-edge safety system.

Used Legacy models with EyeSight® can help you keep a closer eye on what’s around you so you can steer clear of an accident. With Pre-Collision Braking and Pre-Collision Throttle Management, you’ll get a warning to slow down whenever you’re in danger of getting into a frontal collision. Lane Departure Warning and Sway Warning will let you know if you start to drift into another lane without signaling.

EyeSight® also includes Adaptive Cruise Control. Simply set a following distance, and your used Legacy will work to maintain it as you cruise down the highway. If traffic slows down, the system adjusts the car’s speed as necessary. It’ll even come to a stop if the car ahead does the same.

Get Behind the Wheel of a Used Subaru Legacy

Dependable, spacious, and capable enough to take on all sorts of weather and road conditions, a used Subaru Legacy can be the ultimate car for both small families and campus commuters.
