Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.
The legacy is not a "dad car" or "mom car". It's a car that blends in everywhere you go. It's a car that looks just as good in a high end neighborhood as it does in a lower income neighborhood. It doesn't draw attention or look out of place. It's nice.
I actually like the way the cars looks
Imo. The rear needs a little bit of updates and maybe the front, but not really. It's a Subaru.
Honestly i like the understated look. I use to be into sleepers back in high school. My car was a supercharged Buick Century that had absolutely nothing done to the outside except stickier tires.
older versions look pretty good, but this one, idk looks like 10 years older and not in a good way.,
Sleeper vibes 😴 i love it
0-60 in 6.3 seconds with an AWD car for less than 35k isn't considered fast?!!! I think you might be spoiled a bit.
It’s pretty much on par with other cars in this class which is the whole point of this video to show this car is not special in any way
I agree. Anything around 6 seconds is consider fast, but maybe this car doesn’t feel fast.
eli li It’s fast it’s just not the unique. Mazda 6, Kia Optima and cadenza, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus and Fusion, and I’m sure I’m missing more, also get a 6 second 0-60.
MrNoName hell no, no way do those cars do 0-60mph in 6s
Chris they do search it up and I missed a few like Honda Accord and Civic, Ford Focus and Fiesta ST and I’m sure I’m missing even more
Am I the only one that thinks this car is sharp? They make it sound like the dullest car on the market....
Jonathan Clark I think it looks great
nope. I own the 2017 sport model and love it.
Jonathan Clark I was thinking the same thing. I have a 2015 and I really like how it looks.
@@brantphillips9133 I agree , this shape looks looks quite smart. I drive a Gen 3 model and will update to this new Liberty soon.
No, you're not the only one
I used to enjoy motor trend videos, but then their videos got way over scripted. You guys got the right thing going on
Marcolgy well we’ve never scripted anything because we don’t like the idea of that.
Yuri Tereshyn it shows! And shout out to Jacob's mean elbow drop on the padding, that's journalism at its finest
Marcolgy that’s actually macho mans elbow that I borrowed for his video
I feel the same way about Ignition and Head2head... I am from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe and noone can make me pay for games, movies, software or carshows!
"the right thing" = cringey back-and-forth banter ?
The other day I went out for a drive and somehow found myself on cliche corner! Coolest feeling ever.
Keep it a secret 😉
Is that place in Canada where you lot live called "little Eastern Europe"? We have a Juri, we have a Jakub and now we also have an Adrian.
I live in Australia and even I know where it is!
These guys are way off. I have one of these and it consistently puts a smile on my face. For how big it is it actually kinda scoots. And the boxer 6 cyl sounds heavenly
i accualy like the looks of this car, do not even think it looks boring to be honest
I would like cars to be boring if I can mod it to high hell huehuehuehue
it looks boring
but there's nothing wrong with that it's not making false "sporty" promises
@@purplechip8020 *cough cough* Toyota Camry
When I bought my 2010 legacy I put a lot of thought into it. The AWD, CVT, 6 airbags, paddle shifters, and 31+mpg on the highway made it seem like the perfect car.
I had the 2017 model a few months ago and when I say that this car is so under the radar, I knew exactly where I parked, walked past he car in a parking lot and couldn't find it until I used the clicker to see that it was just 10 feet away from me in plain sight
Glad we weren't the only ones
dbazile15 lmaoooo
Both equally dumb
I didn't have that problem
I swapped out the grill on mine for a JDM and added a Lip + Lowered it. this made me have to park back first every time. I still walk past mine sometimes
Finally back on cars we can realistically can afford 😂
a car that you could AFFORD but probably wouldn't BUY
93remix so true I mean it’s reliable and easy to service but it’s so slow and not fuel efficient at all but is very comfortable to cruise. I’d buy one if it had a manual tbh I’d never daily a 6cylinder with a CVT.
Darksyne I would never daily a CVT period
to be honest i came here cuz motor trend killed head to head. I like seeing all affordable, luxury and sport cars reviews
Ryan Jones wtf? Mt killed h2h? Why? Thats the only reason they were relevant
Ok, no joke, the Subaru Legacy and Outback is super super super comfortable. So comfy it will surprise you. No joke. Test or just sit in one.
Sounds stupid but I love how plain/boring/non engaging my legacy is! I can’t be bothered with driving anymore so I just want it to be as easy, and comfortable as possible!
"Genesis, Legacy, Panda" LMAOOOOO this is why y'all are my favorite reviewers
TurkeyJerky but it’s something like that right?
"Black X6, Phantom, White X6, panda" is what he says but your version is acceptable lol
TurkeyJerky omg that is so funny I love you yuri
i had this car for 2 yrs, not happy at beginning, but once you get used to this car, it is really easy to drive and comfortable to ride
李正则 how you like it now and days
If boring means getting me back and forth to work reliably, economically and Safe in all kinds of weather. That sounds like a smart buy. On my test drive list. Thanks.
I own the 2015 version of the 3.6R. Yep, it's a terrific road trip car. Nothing more comfortable for tall people like me.
The car to get if you want to remain anonymous. If I needed AWD I would probably get this over the Fusion Sport AWD because of the lower price and less complex engine, plus Subarus tend to be fairly reliable and safe.
harrismi7 you’ve got the new sponsor icon for 1 month!
Is that why it changed color?
harrismi7 ya. New, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months I can customize it if you have any ideas
harrismi7, you forgot to say "cnaciba, cyka blyat!"
Heh, I guess that means it's a great car if you plan on going into the witness protection program.
I sold Subarus for about a year and everybody I sold Legacys to loved how comfortable they were and how many features you got for the money. It’s not a drivers car but the paddles help engine break in the winter is what I told customers who said the same thing you said about it being a CVT
My mom has a 2014 and you described it perfectly. Vague ass steering but super comfy.
Really? I have a 2013 and I love the steering and how heavy it is my toyota rav 4s steering is so light I like that it’s heavier on my Subaru
Idk if it’s just me but I feel a very significant steering with my legacy???
The Visors in my WRX don't slide and I have sun in my eyes on the way to work EVERY MORNING because of it. Side note: Tim Hortons should sponsor you guys. Or at least give you free drinks!
It's annoying isn't it
Especially because of the tree line and time of day. 50% chance of migraine, 50% chance of seizure.
What’s the visor test about? Always forget to ask
Tinted windows make a big difference if you don't have them. I have a rental right now and I didn't realize how much they help.
I tend to just wear my sunglasses when the sun is too strong no matter which direction it’s coming from. If I wasn’t driving a civic I would be mistaken as a poser sometimes. Actually a civic would probably make it worst lol
I bought this car last month. I love the car. Worth every penny.
Best Legacy - ‘05-09 hands down! Turbo, luxury interior and great looks! Miss the Subaru trying to be kinda luxury days
I agree! Currently trying to find one for close to $3k
Well actually imo it would be 2009 - 2014.
I have this car 2018 and got it because I live in Colorado and needed AWD !! Love this car!! Also I don’t need a fast car because I have so many speeding tickets!! Overall so comfortable driving
I'm a huge tech geek, but i literally couldn't care less about rewinding satellite radio. Before discovering this YT channel, I didn't even know that was a thing lol. Why does Yuri prefer that sooo much?
im the same way, after the free year who even subs to radio
It's pretty cool to rewind and hear the great part of a song over and over.
People have fav stations to listen to with daily commute at the same time and radio shows colliding...
Yuri didn’t break the visor this time!👏🏻😂
This is the car you get if you're a drug dealer and need to stay under the radar.
Adrian S lol
Deadass😂😂😂😂😂
The wealthiest drug dealer in my city drives a 93 civic. Dudes a multi millionaire, owns 3 pharmacies and has a staff of pharmacists. I think he may have gotten into some trouble recently with the opioid prescription crackdown though.
@@wet_back my drug dealer wife drives a matrix... she pays the bills
It truu i got 20 inch rims and dark tints
My dad ownned a 2008 Legacy GT, it was a lot of fun and he got a lot of thumbs up from people who knew what it was. He always waited for a replacement GT wagon and they never came, true shame this is what they are now.
Hey guys could you also show the keys of the cars
Would be an nice extra thing
So without further adieu, let's go ahead and start her up and let her run
TheStraightPipes. That's right. He's an American staple of the automotive world.
@@TheStraightPipes is that a saabkyle04 reference?
@@mattdoe04 😂😂😂
I had a 15 and as much I loved everything about this car, the CVT made me trade it in for a civic manual, which I than traded for a wrx manual. I’m completely happy now after I acknowledged I need AWD.
Alex Peguero did you have to replace the CVT or what happened
This is an elegant car.
as and rider
This is a nice care. Practical and affordable. Subaru's have a great reputation, and their all-wheel drive system is the best in the industry. Great video!
I feel personally attacked. Source: I own this car, and every observation is on point, unfortunately. Good daily driver but lacking any character.
Neckbeardo but it works for you. That's how I feel about CVT. I know lots don't care for them, but I have zero complaints about the CVT in my Outback.
Egan Fo it does work for my needs. My work commute is 42 miles round trip, and my father's house is 100 miles round trip. All errands I can complete in my neighborhood on foot. The Legacy is pretty ideal for my needs, but it doesn't get the blood pumping, you know?
Egan Fo I agree. I also have the 2018 Outback 2.5. The smooth application of the available power creates an illusion that it has more horsepower than it does. It’s not unpleasant to me.
how to fix that
step 1. Nameless axleback exhaust
Step 2. enjoy.
My friend has a 2016 legacy, I have driven it. We have done some road trips on it And its actually very nice to drive! They nagged about handling, handling is actually pretty good.. we have tested sharp turns on v.corrugated roads and the car is soo planted! It never gets unsettled, you can chuck it in turns hard and it would surprise you with its grip and it won't bottom out on bumps! I think the suspension and handling is pretty good! It can take a lot of bashing yet remain planted!
that slow mo elbow drop!
This is what my Mom drives (Muskoka). There really is nothing to dislike or hate about this car. Inside or out. It doesn’t offend anyone and for people who just want a reliable (under warranty) non-attention grabber WITH an AWD and non-German ... you can’t go wrong. I only wish they’d add an estate (wagon) ‘back’ into their line-up. Great review and thanks.
So do you think they actually built “mediocrity”
Exactly. It’s the ultimate ‘incognito’ vehicle. Thanks for the response and as always....Great work Guys. (Ottawa & Muskoka).
I own one!! 2018 legacy ice blue BLK leather bad ass, it's OK fast, but it's AWD and living in Michigan this is a much needed option. I was looking at both the legacy and the Fusion, think depreciation now you know why I went with the legacy. I really LOVE the cruise control, I cant say enough about this car, when stuck in traffic the car slows itself down to a stop then when the traffic starts moving again the car does too and back to the set speed. I also thought it was an old mans car, but after riding in it you will quickly see it's not! Over all I can't get enough of the vehicle and I am glad I bought it! can you say 100K miles or 10 years bumper to bumper warranty covering everything but the tires. why buy a FORD?
Good choice. Just save a little $$$ for your 30,000 mi. maintenance. Love my forester but it is a bit pricey to maintain
when i drove one for 6 years it was comfortable, adequate, and slow. I only saw dads and grandpas driving them. Since then I've gotten a Golf R to compensate
dorkultra But moms and grandmas drive Golf Rs. 🤣
Hmmm. I'd take a ride with a Mom in a Golf R.
Great review as always!
Always have a soft spot for Subie's, but I just traded my old Opel Agila for a newish (1year) Astra Sportstourer. Infotainment is nice and the LED-Matrix-system is sick but it does not pass the visor test! Love it and would love to see some EUish cars reviewed by you guys, but I greatly enjoy seeing cars we don't get over here at all.
Cheers guys, keep up the good work!
Looks like a Japanese Ford Taurus
Highbatros Yeah, especially the grille. Looks very generic.
I literally had 6-7 visits with my head unit in my 3.6R as it would always reset to default settings. The thing you praise the most is the biggest downfall of this car. Also, this car looks cool with black rims and blacked out windows. White car color. Also, this takes REGULAR gas and gets you 23MPG average. That’s a good thing
Yuri speaks the truth when discussing the CVT and potential buyers of this car.
I have more space in my Legacy than ALOT of cars including SUVs and pickups
Elegance through simplicity ! Unpretentious. Just classy.
Love it ! Want one !
This car is one of the better looking cars out of all the midsize sedans. I have no clue why you guys try to make it seem so bland.
Just bought a 2018 legacy and love it. Front end looks sharp other than that the rest of it looks average. Pearl white looks so much better than the gray. On point with the comfort.
rockoutwityourcockout just got a 2019. how do you like it?
Subaru fanboy here, and I'd take the Accord.
That being said, my dad has a Legacy and it is the perfect car to sit in and drive highways. The seats are mad comfortable.
Curtis Stuart 😬
So proof that it is a "Dad car". I would have bought it in Sport trim with a manual if it was offered though :).
I love this car and even if I was a billionaire I would buy one!
Having owned a 2005 Legacy GT back in the day, I have to say, this video made me really sad. They USED to make fun cars/wagons .. now we get this. The automotive equivalent of a microwave. You get in, push a button, you get where you're going, then it's done. Zero engagement in everything they make except the WRX/STi, which are still several miles behind their competitors. Toyota ruined Subaru.
I almost bought a 2005 legacy gt spec b - Jakub
I'm still looking to buy a legacy gt spec b but they are so rare in western Australia 😭😭
Well the BRZ too, and that is at least 85% Subaru, but yeah, bland cars are where the big bucks are, which is what Toyota proved in the 2000's.
Ahh, such a great and unassuming car they were.. especially after a tune. I threw a set of adjustable coilovers, a larger intercooler, and a Cobb dyno-tune on mine, and it was quite fun to embarrass people on the street and the autocross course with my mundane grocery-getting family sedan.
eikonise how is the brz/gt86 80%+ Subaru ? 🤔
Finally you guys reviewed Subaru. I own 2018 Outback and it is an awesome family vehicle. This Legacy has almost exact same looks of interior as Outback.
Well, after a string of hot cars, it was understandable you guys review a "anonymous" car. Not to say the Subie isn't competent or a capable sedan, but no one will do a double take when it goes by. You guys make the review of the Legacy more enjoyable than the car deserves. :-)
Huh. I guess being dad-aged (no kids) helps me to appreciate that the Legacy bodywork appears to be stretched in all the right places in the front 2/3 with a modest tail end. I get the same gut reaction seeing a Legacy as I do the previous gen Honda Accord (one of the best Accord designs when compared against the newest "design"): A well balanced exterior that's pleasing enough to the eye and not edgy / polarizing enough to be an outdated visual train wreck in a few years (see "Toyota Camry").
Frankly, I see these things all of the time when I'm on the roads in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and I appreciate them for what they are: highly practical, reliable, usable and a very smart buy for the average worker who needs reliable automotive transport across four seasons.
Subaru continues to remove barriers for buyers, too, with their efforts to update their head units into the smart phone compatibility era.
OK. The steering IS responsive- road feel however is not what one would expect of a sports car or a sportier sedan like the Mazda 6. Handling is controlled, predictable and inspires confidence. The CVT is among the best available and does well enough simulating normal shifting while helping fuel economy.
Acceleration is good- not great and probably slower than most in its class. AWD makes a significant traction and drivability difference in all kinds of weather- particularly snow and rain. Safety appears integral to its design and comfort as the reviewers stated is excellent. In adverse conditions or challenging roads- there is no car I would rather own.
Visibility is among the best. Interiors are attractive, well laid out- but not opulent. The Infotainment Center is superb.
As for styling-the car is handsome and conservative- competitive with older versions of the Accord and Camry. Newer versions of the Accord and Camry are sportier- but not necessarily more attractive or practical.
I think its target market are families that want a safe,. predictable and comfortable sedan.
The legacy 3.6r has been clocked to go mid 6's 0-60mph on forums stock at high 14's 1/4 at 96mph. Is it fast? No but it def is not slow. 2015 Ford Focus St which is considered not slow at all and is sporty has a trap speed of 94mph according to motortrend at 6.5 seconds 0-60mph. So on the highway, the legacy 3.6r is decent. Also, this video complains about the screen that shows mph. That little screen also shows, song names, tire pressure on each wheel, compass, and navigation routes. Video also doesn't mention adaptive cruise control. So you could drive this car in traffic in cruise control and the car can brake for you and keeps a distance between cars with it's cameras. Video finally complains of the CVT. You drive any car out the there with a CVT, and this car is one of the best. Subaru makes one of the best CVT's on the market. Don't knock it until you try it.
Mom owns a 17’ step dad owns a 17’ both 3.6R’s. The dark blue is actually really nice looking, and it’s by the far the comfiest car I’ve ever ridden in. Not super fast but not super slow..not sure how this is slow? What 7.2 or somethin 0-60? Eh it’s good for a daily for someone like 50+
I’ll gap u in my 3.6r
If you live in the snow, this is the car. It's an affordable cruiser. You want reliability, safety, snow-ability, good resale and comfort without spending a fortune? This is your car.
I miss the Legacy Outback with the lifted suspension and the gold cladding. Bring it back subie!
the first 5 seconds looked like a subaru commercial, I LOVE IT!
I have the 2019 and they have a lot of modifications to the exterior to make it look better. They also have some performance stuff to pick up a little more torque.
Just got one too, but still think that the 2018 looks amazing in my opinion!
Man, these two guys are the best. I really enjoy my time listening to them. Fun video.
The 4th Gen Legacy was really the best that Subaru have made
Russell Robinson agreed! I loved those frameless doors!
Not true, the First generation legacy was the best one they ever made. I have had Subaru's since the early 80s and I currently own a 1993 Legacy.
yeah that 4th gen Liberty was smooth looker, i had a manual sedan and also a wagon.
Wow, you read my mind. I was searching this car and you just posted video 9 hours ago.
Bought the car yesterday. Loving it!
Mark 2033 how u like it so far?
Do you still love it? Im thinking of getting one (or the 2020) soon :D
I just picked up a 19 3.6r limited for a great deal because of the redesigned 2020 right around the corner. Excellent family vehicle that is quite, comfortable, safe and show be reliable (at least more so than the Atlas we were also considering). When we started looking the outback wasn’t on the radar for use, we had initially test drove only the Ascent and Forester but came back a couple days later to have another look at the Forester when I asked my salesman about discounts on the Outback. We ended up getting $7k off the Outback which sealed the deal.
The 2009 Legacy is one of the most beautiful cars ever made
Royhan Um, no
jesus that is almost more bland than a VW, impressive
VW coming up in a few weeks
Hope it's an Arteon! Although wouldn't mind the new Polo if that's sold in Canada at all
TheStraightPipes please say it’s the 2019 jetta!
Every single Legacy is super comfortable. There is something special they do in the suspension dept just for that sedan. It reminds me of Cadillacs and Buicks of the 90s. Just something there that as soon as you drive it, you instantly see it and smile!
As an owner of a CR-V with a possessed infotainment system, I appreciate Yuri’s obsession with the buttons and performance of the infotainment on every review. It’s the thing I most hate about my CR-V and makes the daily experience a pain. Also, the inventor of piano black is an idiot. Great job, guys! Y’all make me LOL! 🙌🏼✌🏻
The Cleaning Teacher wait till you see the infotainment on this rdx we have right now.
Yuri Tereshyn Oooohhhh...now I’m curious! 🤓 Maybe Acura will step it up as there hasn’t been much differentiation between Honda & Acura in the last few years.
The Cleaning Teacher pretty much my least favourite infotainment controls
Love my 2018 Legacy 50th Anniversary edition.
Am I the only one here who never ever listens to the radio? Full of ads, most of the time its not what I want to listen to, the radio presenters are annoying as hell, the quality is horrible and so on.
So the radio rewind could be something you should ask your viewers about for the future imho.
DSP satellite radio is a paid radio service that has no ads. It literally solves all of your issues but it’s a North America thing.
Nope. AUX jack or bluetooth and i play what i want. Most radio stations are trash.
i love how canadian this show is... its just so kind and human
Thanks
Great review! You guys are truly great at what you do.
I actually really like the more bland design of the Legacy. It just looks so sophisticated, mature, and understated. Overall, though, I would probably want to go for something more sporty (and eye-catching) like the Mazda6, Optima, Accord, or Camry. Nevertheless, from one car reviewer to another, keep up the impeccable work!
Well.... I personally think the legacy is the nicest looking full sized commuter sedan. Except for maybe the new Camry, which I feel will look old quick. The legacy has a pretty timeless look in my opinion, always has. AWD makes it a top choice in my book, but I live in New England.
These guys hit the nail on the head. Yes it’s is a Dads car, I have a 2017 3.6 Outback, and guess what... I am a Dad in my 50s, like to blend in with the crowd, and I love my car.
These cars are not sold as fast sports cars, they are not aiming at that market. By not squeezing more and more power out of the H6 engine makes them reliable and effortless to drive, it’s a road trip vehicle for sure, you can jump in these, drive for days and be assured you’ll get from A to B with no dramas and in comfort.
If your looking to buy a new car, I would never preach about these and go on and on about them, but what I would say is, don’t overlook them, it’ll do exactly what it says on the tin.
Finallyyyyy... The Legacy review by TheStraightPipes... It's a Legacy. 😍
Would you buy this over the Ford Fusion Sport if you needed AWD?

TheStraightPipes nope I'd get the legacy
Kia Stinger 2.0T AWD
This car seems like it is targeting older Cadillac & Buick buyers who have been displaced by the new sporty demeanor they now possess. In that same respect, for the same money as the Legacy 3.6R, I take the new Regal GS 3.6 AWD instead of this.
Idk I have a thing against CVt transmissions lol
The Subaru Legacy's styling stands out in one area, front overhang. That's a lot of Legacy hanging out before the front wheels! Makes for a nice long hood but that's wasted space, better used for rear seat and trunk room.
I like my 2018 legacy sport, and my steering wheel controls are Matt black. I also like that the sport has black grill accent. But wish I could of afforded the 3.5l
I really wish Subaru would bring the levorg wagon to the Canadian market, it's a perfect mix of this comfortable sedan and the fun of the WRX
You will have to move to Australia, it's basically a WRX wagon.
LIKE BEFORE PLAY!
Welcome back to earth after all those expensive sporty cars.
Capable and a sense of humility comes to mind whenever I see any Subaru vehicle.
Truly an excellent car. Quiet, reliable, feature rich. If not for the rubber bandy engine and CVT, I might have selected it over the Mercedes E450 4Matic I'm heading toward.
wet hi
Although we've all loved watching you guys ripping around in $200k Porsches and AMGs, it's great to see you guys back in "normal" cars that most people actually buy, and are looking for quality reviews of. Well done!
you complaining about 256 being low for a 6 banger and I am here with a 3.7l 6 banger that does 210 hp :/
Hahaha! Tried and true Jeep motor.....
@@SulCoCrazy really impressed you were able to figure it out. I kinda hate the design of it on mine but its definitely reliable so far.
V6 3.0L 200HP
I think you still win for the extra 0.7L but im happy to give you that win.
I wanted an AWD sedan for Wisconsin winters. I went with a 2016 Legacy 3.6R. It's more fun to drive than they give it credit for, but it is a heavy car. 0-60 is about 7 seconds. I refused to settle with the 2.5 liter engine for that reason which takes around 9 seconds 0-60.
"I'd like to start this video off, with starting it off with something" - Yuri.
Did you not already start the video off, by starting off the something to say how you'd start the video off.... or something?
Basically the only car review show I watch. Glad I could come to the meet up with my Tesla.
Good review!
Model 3 guy? Whatsup!
yup that's me! Thanks again for organizing the meetup. Was a lot of fun!
Keep it up with the great content. Looking forward to the driver assistance comparison video and more EV videos!
The exterior looks like a Sonata and a Fusion had a love child. Would you take this, the Fusion, or the Optima, or Sonata, or Accord, or Camry, or Passat, Sentra, or Malibu... Mahk says take the Malibu. For the money, if it was a new car, I'd probably take the base Stinger.
Stephen Y malibu like 2015 are so good
Accord
Optima or Stinger for sure, maybe a base Cadenza
Nobody is buying the Cadenza... and that's the problem.
Malibus are Chevys which means they've won JD Power Hammer Award. Ask Mahk.
I'm thankful we get the Levorg wagon here in the Philippines, and just this year we also get the 2.0-liter FA20 engine with 296 hp (the new one you can find in the WRX, but with STI-level power output. Unlike the current STI that still uses the ancient 2.5). The only drawback is it only comes in CVT, like this Legacy you reviewed.
Interior reminds me of my 2016 Camry.
Yuri, you're hilarious! "No one will suspect I even own a car"!
That is why you're my favourite! Keep making great videos such as this!
Is that a face in the rear armrest at 11:08?😨...😂😂
That funny
I have the 2018 Sport version in black, front grill, wheels and exterior looks way better then all other Legacy versions. Easy to find in parking lot.
Just wanted to say, I've got that same Vincero watch and love it. Although I do use it to tell time :)
can't believe someone who loves good cars would settle for fake watches and promote them
We need money. There's nothing fake about a watch that exists
Vedad I’d rather support a company that supports the shows I like to watch.
Have owned a Subaru since the ole Brat truck days from the 80's. Great daily drivers.
This is exactly how i feel about my dads new outback! Which I have driven a bunch. Very comfortable, quiet, fuel economic (for it's size), practical, Subaru AWD = awesome in wet, snow and other non-road conditions, great road trip car, but... its boring!!!!!!
DanVal Boring is good my man. Live a lot longer and you will understand. Lol
My parents have the same car. It's perfect for them since they're retired, go on long drives and bring a bunch of stuff with them but man it's boring. There's nothing really stand out about it. It's the new Honda Accord now that the Accord is kinda cool.
& so is my dad’s 2015 Lexus RX350 which costs 50K+ new. So don’t feel bad
The turbo version is quite powerful with FA engine and handles very well.
The Subaru Legacy 3.6R limited and Nissan Maxima SR we’re on my shopping list the only thing that turned me off was the CVT.
Lavonte A try the cvt in the new Maxima. It's not as bad as most people think.
I'm driving an Altima SV as a rental and the CVT isn't that bad. The little O/D button the shifter allows great engine breaking when you need to slow down but don't want to use the brakes. Just wish I had fake gears I could choose from.
I rented a new Nissan Altima recently for a week. I was surprised, I didn't mind the CVT. It drove pretty decent. I also drove an Outback with the 2.5 and the CVT was laggy in the lower gears. But was fine once it got going. I would want the 3.6 to consider a Legacy or Outback. The Maxima is also pretty quick and the CVT is decent when you have more power. You can feel the pull and seems to be little lag.
Just get use to the revs when in M mode for CVT's, get use to the gears and the way they change automatically and emulate that with the paddles while in manual mode for CVT's, allot of people are having problems with the CVT and I don't understand it, just don't drive it like a standard 6 speed transmission and drive it like it has 2 clutches and 8 gears!!! first 3-4 gears are going to be high in range last 3-4 gears will be more spread out in range.
Patron must be doing its work. You guys are spitting out videos at a good clip. Great for us!
We've been doing 2 days per week all year
Compare to Volvo Sedan seat and this, which one is more comfortable?
Enai Nakai I think this is the most comfortable. Volvo was more of a firm comfortable but this is a soft comfort. Also being able to rest both elbows and have both hands on the wheel.
I bought the 4 cyl version. These guys pretty much hit it on the head, though I disagree with their comments on the steering. It's not sporty. It doesn't need whiplash steering. The turning radius is awesome. It is the ultimate road trip car though. Great mileage, I drove from raleigh nc to buffalo. Probably the most comfortable trip I've taken.
