The Subaru Legacy Sport is that rare thing in the modern market: a mid-size sedan with standard all-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine, offering a combination of capability and performance that no direct competitor matches. The 260 horsepower turbo Boxer engine provides strong acceleration, and the Symmetrical AWD system delivers confidence in all weather conditions that sedan buyers in northern climates will genuinely appreciate. The Sport trim adds visual distinction with dark-finish wheels and sport-tuned suspension, along with a comprehensive suite of EyeSight driver assistance features. The interior is functional and well-equipped with a large touchscreen. However, the Legacy suffers from some fundamental compromises: the CVT transmission saps driving engagement, the interior materials lack the premium feel of competitors from Honda and Toyota, and the styling is conservative to the point of anonymity. Road noise is more prominent than expected, and the ride quality on the sport suspension can be busy over rough surfaces. At around $37,000, the Legacy Sport offers a unique value proposition for AWD sedan buyers, but it struggles to compete on overall refinement with the Accord and Camry.
