2012 Subaru Legacy carries on the Legacy
January 17, 2013
Sometimes, being different is a good thing. Among midsize saloon, the 2012 Subaru Legacy certainly carves out a niche for itself. But some of what makes it unique also serves to limit its appeal. All 2012 Subaru Legacy models come with all-wheel drive as standard, and buyers have a choice of engines and transmissions. The 2012 Subaru Legacy is a five-passenger saloon available in seven trim levels: 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Limited, 3.6R, 3.6R Premium, 3.6R Limited and 2.5GT Limited. The 2012 Subaru Legacy provides a smooth ride and respectable handling. Drivers expecting the 2.5GT model to be a sleeper sport saloon will be disappointed, though, as its suspension tuning is the same as all other Legacys. Subaru has dropped the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol model, so prices now start at £26,900. The 2.5 petrol model – which has an automatic gearbox as standard – starts at £29,075. Like all of its models, the Legacy comes with Subaru’s ‘Everything Taken Care of’ (ETCo) package as standard, which includes free minor bodywork and alloy wheel repairs, a monthly wash, and the winter wheel and tyre storage.
