The Subaru Legacy is a large estate car (or sports tourer as they are now known) that benefits from the Subaru symmetrical all wheel drive system and oppositely opposed boxer engine. This gives the Subaru Legacy fantastic balance, road holding and safety with plenty of space for the whole family and an executive specification and quality feel.
The Subaru Legacy and Outback seem similar which one is the best?
That depends totally upon what you want to do with your car. The Subaru Legacy with the SE specification comes with 18 inch wheels, low profile tyres and Bilstein shock absorbers for a more sporty drive, this makes the Subaru Legacy more agile and allows flatter cornering while giving a smooth and comfortable ride for long distance driving.
The Subaru Outback on the other hand offers more ground clearance for greater off road capability and a higher ride height for improved visibility. The car is also fitted with self-levelling suspension for when the vehicle is heavily loaded or for towing. The Subaru Outback also comes with larger profile semi off road, all terrain tyres.
Is there a Diesel Automatic Subaru Legacy?
Unfortunately at the moment there is no diesel automatic in the Subaru range, this is something that we are hoping will be available in the future, so watch this space.
What engine is available in the Subaru Legacy?
The Subaru Legacy has the new 2.0 boxer diesel engine with a manual 6 speed transmission or a 2.5 litre boxer petrol engine with a new lineatronic automatic transmission.
What does lineatronic mean?
Lineatronic is the name for the brand new 6 speed automatic gearbox in the Subaru Legacy. This system is a continuously variable transmission which means there is no changing gear delivering seamless performance, while keeping the Subaru Legacy's engine operating in the most favourable RPM range for any driving speed to give the perfect balance between performance and economy.
So is the Subaru Legacy any good off road?
Yes, the permanent all wheel drive system in the Subaru Legacy is not just for road holding and safety, but it is the backbone of what Subaru is all about. The Subaru Legacy has always been used for such jobs as to go up tracks, across fields, by vets, farmers, estate keepers, fishermen or to go on shoots. If you are using the Subaru Legacy for recreation or for work it will perform brilliantly.
What sort of MPG can I expect from the Subaru Legacy?
The diesel engine in the Subaru Legacy is the most economical as you would expect, returning a combined 44.1 MPG, and the petrol 2.5 litre automatic returning a combined 33.6 MPG. For a permanent 4 wheel drive large estate car this is outstanding economy.
So what equipment do I get as standard and what is an optional extra in the Subaru Legacy?
Standard equipment on all new Subaru Legacy's includes, dual zone digital climate control, heated seats, electric driver's seat with memory, steering wheel mounted cruise control, Bluetooth hands free and audio controls, xenon headlights, alloy wheels, electric sun roof, electric heated folding mirrors, front and rear electric windows, automatic wipers, automatic self-levelling headlights, on board computer, traction control, front side and curtain air bags, motion adaptive power steering and much much more.
Sound like a good package?
It really is, and on top of all that specification is the permanent symmetrical all wheel drive, standard on all new Subaru Legacy's, because you never know what's on the road ahead.
