Subaru is lucky to be one of the little gathering of carmakers that appreciate a cultlike following. Dissimilar to the greater part of them, nonetheless, Subaru won that status without an extensive lineup of uncommon execution autos. Truly, the thin fragment of auto purchasers who are devotees have since quite a while ago grasped Subaru's rally-roused WRX models, however the Japanese carmaker has chiefly earned its notoriety by offering standard all-wheel drive over its lineup and focusing on the most elevated conceivable wellbeing evaluations. It's not astonishing, at that point, that Subaru would take after this methodology precisely with the Legacy as a method for helping it influence its stamp in an exceptionally focused market to section. It's one of the main autos in its fragment to offer all-wheel drive for under $30,000, and it earned the most elevated conceivable crash-test appraisals from both U.S. organizations that do such testing. By different measurements, notwithstanding, it battles. Its execution on the track and amid ordinary driving neglects to awe, the inside outline and materials are dated, and a few upscale highlights that have turned out to be regular in mass-advertise autos are missing totally from Subaru's family car. In ways huge and little, the Legacy has neglected to stay aware of whatever remains of its class, which has been quickly making strides.
