I'm short, so I can see over the hood well for parking. Engine mounts worn not fixed yet. But the large buttons and dials on the audio system itself were easy to reach and use. Weeks - November 16 - 2:00 am I find the car to be less quiet and comfortable than expected. Actual purchase terms may vary. However, this setup is also isolating; there is a sense of detachment from the surface, and steering feedback is muted. How would the reliability compare? Along with the exterior revisions come the addition of the steering wheel audio controls, plus two-position memory for the front passenger seat, and ventilation as well as heating for both front seats.
This valuable tool will help you negotiate your best price. Wish it had parking assistance like today's models, and large gps camera. The 2009 Subaru Legacy offers buyers all the comforts of the finest sports sedan coupled with the sure-footedness afforded by Subaru's standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Only had to go through a couple oil changes. Prices do not include manufacturer's destination and delivery charges.
Tail lamps trimmed in silver echo the design, stretching around the corners, as if reaching to meet the headlamps. All trims but the base 2. Overall, I find the car very average. This car has never been in the shop, save for routine maintenance oil changes, brake pads, etc. There have been some small issues listed above, but it's 5 years old now and I would expect to pay a little to keep the car in tip top shape.
Living with this car is easy. The rear seats are roomy, and this is a comfortable car for four adults. Lexus has a reputation for exceptional quality and behind the high-quality fit and finish is a great deal of careful design and detail work. Standard safety equipment includes the full complement of airbags: dual front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and front and rear side-curtain airbags. Lots of wow factor at a very reasonable price. Lexus is a luxury vehicle with a great sporty look and performance. Still, when driven at an everyday pace, the Legacy behaves not unlike its less-athletic competitors.
The one thing I never expected out of the car was to get a quarter of a million miles clocked on the odometer without serious maintenance; the casual changing of tires and oil keeps the car on the road. Driving It We drove the turbocharged 2. We like its smooth powertrain, impressive fit and finish, and fairly roomy interior. It has taken a lot of adjustment to get it just right, and it still does not feel perfect. Being 6'2 and having the seat positioned all the way back still allows passengers in the back to not feel claustrophobic.
Curiously, it was not available on the SportDesign. EdmundsĀ© is a trademark of Edmunds. You see and feel the quality. Upshifts in normal, everyday driving are almost invisible, but the transmission is responsive when driving aggressively. Though it can be thirsty when pushed.
The four-wheel independent strut suspension is designed to minimize body roll and allow precise handling. Handsome, high-quality, leather upholstery with wood trim comes standard. Nine-spoke alloy wheels complement the styling. One thing I really do love about the car, is that it has a timeless look and blends in with more modern cars without looking outdated. The front end seems to slope down in one continuous curve, from the top of the windshield, over the sculpted hood and tidy dark grille, down to the smooth air dam under the almost seamless front bumper. That they needed replacement wasn't the surprise.
Last week, I put in new rear struts, front control arms, and valve cover gaskets. We did notice the Legacy's frameless doors make it difficult to open or hold a door without touching the window. Elegant interior, great radio and cd. Overall, the system is tuned very nicely, and provides a great ride under all conditions. Handsome, high-quality, leather upholstery with wood trim comes standard. Do not take it to a mechanic recommended by the seller.
