After one month I can say this is the best car I have ever owned. It complements my life with it's diversity and excitement. Yes it's a wagon, this car is a big WRX with a much more refined interior. If your into the outdoors, have children/child and enjoy driving this car is for you. Actually any of these is a great reason to go with this car. Plus it was Car of the Year in Japan!
I test drove a few cars such as the Volvo V50, the WRX and an Audi wagon. Non of these did as well in every category like the Legacy at this price.
The Legacy Limited is the way to go, the sun roof is huge! The leather is very nice, Momo steering wheel, 17" wheels, heated seats, auto climate control and tons of other nice additions. I highly recommend the premium sound to make up for the sub par standard stereo.
More than anything else this car is fun fun fun!!! Whiplash fast! 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, tons of torque with little turbo lag. This is with the 5 Speed manual. I passed on the Sportshift, it just felt weird to me plus it was 1500.00!
I like to Snowboard, hike, garden, and play Grand Turismo, plus I have a small child. This car is perfect for my life, it's definitely not one size fits all. Did I mention I love this car?
