Subaru Legacy estate (2009 – )

The Subaru Legacy is a great alternative to the more predictable German offerings. It’s reliable, spacious and well-equipped. However, it isn't as good to drive and is expensive to run.

Area of interest:

The Legacy’s cabin design is a bit over-fussy but once familiar with everything, it works brilliantly. Some of the switchgear can be hard to read as there’s a lot of silver in there, but the ergonomics are good. The seats are comfortable and there’s 10-way electric adjustment for the driver’s chair, so finding the perfect driving position is simple.
