If you need a roomy, comfortable sedan with the best possible ability to navigate through winter’s worst, the new Legacy is well worth a look. Wide front seats, incredibly useful lumbar support and a cavernous trunk mark the big changes for 2010, as does a long list of standard creature comforts.
If you’re looking for a smooth-as-silk six-cylinder sedan, the Legacy’s boxer engine is nowhere near as refined as the traditional engines found in the Accord or Camry. Four-cylinder models feel a bit sluggish under hard acceleration and fans of the turbocharged GT will have to be happy with a manual transmission, because that’s the only choice.
