Pros: Spacious interior; controlled, comfortable ride; standard all-wheel drive; large trunk
Cons: Middling fuel economy with 6-cylinder engine; some ergonomic issues with climate controls and available navigation system
CG Says: For 2017, Subaru Legacy gains a new Sport model with unique interior and exterior trim. Reverse Automatic Braking and self-dimming headlights are newly available on Legacy. These midsize cars are pleasant to drive, have great interior room, and come with a lot of equipment at reasonable prices. Standard all-wheel drive is a bonus for snow-belt states. While any Legacy is a solid choice, we like the 3.6R models, which have good power and lots of features for the money.
