Whether you appreciate the handling virtues of all-wheel drive or need to navigate winter’s worst, you’ll find the 2012 Subaru Legacy to be a roomy, comfortable sedan with an edge in confidence over its front-wheel-drive competition. Wide front seats and a cavernous trunk are standouts, and the Legacy combines top-rated safety with a generous list of features.
If you’re looking for a silky-smooth 6-cylinder sedan, the Legacy’s boxer engine feels less refined than the traditional V-6 Camry and Accord offerings. The boxer 4-cylinder can feel slightly sluggish under hard acceleration, and the Lineartronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is not to everyone’s liking. The sole turbo model, the GT, is manual-only.
