What does it cost?
For This mid-spec Legacy comes loaded with kit and features sporty trim. The cabin is roomy and the diesel engine is flexible.
Against The Legacy costs more to buy and run than some rivals, and the interior is rather uninspiring.
What Car? says
This isn't a bad price for a big estate that's loaded with equipment, but for us the S version makes more financial sense.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
In most respects, the Subaru Legacy is a straightforward rival for the likes of the Ford Mondeo and VW Passat, but it's unusual because every version comes with four-wheel drive. Subaru's image isn't quite the norm, either, although this doesn't translate into superior resale values. Running costs are on the high side, too. Equipment levels are well above average, however – even the cheapest models have dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, Bluetooth and an electric sunroof. The diesel version makes most sense – it's a stronger performer and has much lower running costs than the 2.5i petrol, which comes with a CVT automatic gearbox as standard. Subaru has a good reputation for reliability and owners generally have only good things to say about the service they receive.

Subaru Legacy Tourer 2.0 D S 5dr
For us, this is the pick of the Legacy range, blending a reasonable price with lots of standard kit. Some rivals are better value, however.
