Positive Review
I love driving this car, but the built in navigation system is the worst I have ever seen, and not worth using. The only Points of Interest it will find by using the voice menu are brand-name stores/restaurants, not say, a local pizza place or store. Of course I could always pull over, take out my phone, look up the place I want, find the address and type it in, which seems pointless ... My husband's Hyundai will find ANYTHING within seconds. It is just useless to me not to be able to direct it to a business when I am driving and don't know the address. It shows gas stations along your route, but too bad they are not accurate, as one it shows near me has been closed for about 5 years. Luckily the Apple CarPlay works great and I can use a Nav app on my phone. The large touchscreen also has its annoyances. For instance, if i want to turn on the heated seat to medium, i need to touch the screen 3 times (all the while looking at the screen and not the road). When i want to turn it off, another 3 times. When I have a screen open, such as Waze from my phone, and I want to turn on the Auto Break Hold feature, I need to touch the screen twice to turn that on, and since its screen does not automatically close, it needs to be closed manually which takes you back to the main screen and not where you had it before, so another 2 taps to get back to the app I had open. in other words, too much tapping on the screen to get to some very basic functions.

Critical Review
I bought this car at the peak of covid as the dealer was really helpful with purchasing. I got the 2022 Legacy Limited 2.5 non turbo. Overall comfortable and great in snow. Commuting is frustrating sometimes as passing and merging power severely lacks. Technology is hit and miss, recently have been having a lot of issues with lagging/ some features not responding great. I am likely going to sell once the warranty is up due to the technology issues.

It is a very good reliable car that handles well (for the most part) and gives combined mileage of 25+mpg. Overall, I consider this car to be much above average based on my 2+ yr of ownership. Pros: 1) The fulltime symmetrical AWD powertrain and confidant handling in all weather conditions. Very stable at 80+ mph. 2) The Eyesight system is great when used with adaptive cruise control for those long drives. Sometimes the stopping can be a bit harsh (even with max distance) and I end up taking over the braking. It does well in slow speed stop and go and handles well when others sneak in front of you. 3) Great space for a sedan of this class in the front and back. I have done a few long distance trips with 5 adults. It's a bit tight for 3 in the back, but not terrible. 4) Seats are not very comfortable for road trips. 5) Steering responsive headlights. 6) Trunk space is huge and fits a lot of stuff. 7) Spare tire in the trunk with jack. 8) Basic infotainment system that works well (for the most part) and can connect to multiple phones at the same time. 9) Good accessories that can be installed by DIY-ers. I enjoyed the roof racks, fog lights, and auto-dimming outside mirrors. 10) Great storage for driver, and passengers. 11) MySubaru app and the integration with car seems to work very well for the most part. I love the car status information that shows actual ODO, tire pressure, fuel level and other diagnostic info by system. Cons: 1) Slow infotainment system. Sometimes I have to wait 5+ seconds for it to respond to touch/button. 2) Climate control baked into the infotainment system is a terrible idea IMO. Once the big screen/system failed to boot and was showing that wheel of death. It disabled all other systems in the car, Eyesight, Cruise, Climate and it stayed that way for the entire trip of 4+ hours. It literally became a base model car from the 90s. But it kept driving as the dash is still analog. 3) There's no trunk open option at the trunk lid. Trunk can be opened from dash or from the key. Trunk hinges are squeaky only after a few months. 4) Low fidelity and quality speakers in the doors. I ended up upgrading the front speakers and got a much better sound. 5) Noisy interior with significant engine noise. 6) CVT Transmission can be a bit jerky at times. 7) Quality issues in the engine, it had a rattle from day-1 when started cold after sitting for a day or more. 8) Subaru constantly sends driving data from the car and there's no options to participate.

Nothing of consequence
For 4 years now I have been enjoying my Touring XT Legacy. It has a spirited, comfortable ride with very good fuel economy. It also has a quiet cabin and a fine sound system. The suspension system handles things like speed bumps very nicely.
Everything
Nothing
Great job Subaru has done with this vehicle, can’t think of anything negative about it and I will continue to enjoy all that the XT Touring 2.4L Turbo has to offer a driver of all types. Only thing that I’m going to do is, swap out the courtesy door lights for the Subaru logo projection lights, they just look really cool.
Perfect condition. Driven very little. Clean with all the technology features. Adaptive cruise control.

Everything is showroom perfect. Am on Oxygen and can no longer drive.. Paid 35,500, and would accept 34,500. You can purchase from me for $34,500. No extended wait. Serious offers only.
Beautiful interior, fun to drive, great features
No wireless Apple CarPlay
I should preface this review by saying that I am no car guru-superstar, my knowledge on vehicles only stretches so far
