My grandparents have a 2016 Legacy 3.6R Limited that has a set of Blizzaks for winter, that car is unstoppable! They are never ones to comment on driving experiences but they love how easily they can get around in the winter in that car!
Thank you for making this video I currently have a FWD Nissan and I'm tired of getting stuck. #MNLife, Ive been thinking about getting this car for a while, and I think I'm gonna go for it. 👍 Thank you
3.6r all the way! Can't wait to own such a great dependable beast of a car one day. I'll keep it forever. Fingers crossed I get blessed enough to have one. Currently been carless for a year now. Blah blah blah life throws some crap balls I know. But Dang 😂
Thanks for doing this video! I had never gotten stuck in any of my Subaru's and I never had snows on any of them either! Any Subarus with a good set of 3-season tires could handle up to 20 inches of powdered snow with no issues. Of course, the wet stuff is another story! If you go up to ski lodges a lot, winter tires are definitely recommended.
@@ejohnson3131 Subaru couldn't use the name Legacy here as a organisation called legacy Australia had rights to the name, so they chose Liberty which i think is a great name for a car anyway don't you think?
I have a 5th gen 2.5i with 101k in Upstate NY. The only dash light to have ever come on is the tire pressure sensor. No check engine light ever. Just had it inspected by my local subie dealership two months ago, was given a 100% clean bill of health. Fantastic cars.
Prefer the Stinger, it's set up to be more FUN. But with proper tires on either...the difference for the average driver is minimal. If I was say, ice racing, the Stinger is my pick. More control via throttle steering. Both do excellent in a blizzard.
Yeah, I know about Subaru's awd system because I own a 2011 3.6r outback. I have also seen some kia dynamax awd system and they're pretty good compared to the subaru. I don't think subaru's all wheel drive system is any better than Kia's dynamax awd. In my opinion, they're on par but I wish to know other people's opinions on that matter who have driven both types.
At this point a lot of other AWD systems are on par or better than subaru's. If subaru didn't have the brz I don't think they would be doing to well at the moment.
@@felipeguzman9534 just mid or good quality 45/225/R18 tires traction controll off and it does the job... Ok not on totally dry road but light rain can help you a lot maybe its not drifting but powerslides are fun too
So other AWD systems give power to all the wheels all the time? Who? Not Toyota. Not Honda. Not Ford. Not Chrysler. Not the South Korean manufactures. Do any of the European do this? I am looking at AWD cars and I am not finding many that do this.
@@fredharvey2720 I know that. I was asking does anyone else do this? I own a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R with 111,000 miles and it is great in the snow climbing our 600 foot climb on a mountain in about 6 inches of snow and ice on the ground. I have a 2018 Buick Envision AWD which can do the same but that is an SUV with a double clutch AWD that works well. I was wondering do any other cars have a good AWD system as well if I want a car but not an SUV. Thanks.
I personally haven't owned anything newer than a 1990 Legacy, but that 1990 Legacy had well over 300k before it retired (I could have fixed it up but I was moving out of the country anyway so it became parts for my brother's 1992 Legacy), and my dad has personally put millions of miles on a variety of years and models. I am sure some models have a few more issues than others, but I always have a hard time understanding why I keep seeing people say they are unreliable...
The 6 cylinders are known to be reliable. The unreliable ones are the turbo ones that people put aftermarket intakes on without a tune and wonder why they ruin their engines. I've seen stock, well maintained turbo boxers reach almost 200k. If people would just keep them stock and take care of them they would be fine but no one does that.
Why are you comparing a $30k car to a $60k car? What is the point? Subaru's are incredible cars at their price range of $34k or less. If you are on a budget and don't want to go over $40k on a car, it's nearly impossible to beat out a Subaru for great winter driving, comfort, and durability.

Props to a satisfying video. Nice Viper too
Laww 927 that was a straight flex showing the viper
I came straight to the comments looking for a viper mention 🤣

Did you get one??

T C Yeah my dad has had his Subaru Forester since 2000. Still kicking and the tires are a big game changer too.
Second comment I have a legacy and almost no amount of snow stops that car
Love my Libertys. I'm on my 5th one now and will probably update to this 6th Gen model.
Libertys or Legacies?
@@ejohnson3131 Liberty, as that is what they are called here in Australia.
@@seegee7728 - I just watched a video on a Subaru Liberty. Here in the States it’s called Subaru Legacy.
@@ejohnson3131 Subaru couldn't use the name Legacy here as a organisation called legacy Australia had rights to the name, so they chose Liberty which i think is a great name for a car anyway don't you think?
@@seegee7728 - Yeah. We have the Jeep Liberty! So funny!
What a cute dog
My only regret trading my legacy was that I picked the 2.5 liter. I’ve should‘be bought the 3.6r limited instead.
Buying this ASAP
"Bust out a shovel" lmfao so Canadian i love it
I got the same Subaru not the viper though (when is this review coming?) ;)
Forester for life
My dream!
For owners of the legacy. How reliable is your car?
I have a 5th gen 2.5i with 101k in Upstate NY. The only dash light to have ever come on is the tire pressure sensor. No check engine light ever. Just had it inspected by my local subie dealership two months ago, was given a 100% clean bill of health. Fantastic cars.
3 years, 0 problems. I can't say that about any other vehicle I've owned.
My Subaru is great but I'm not crazy about it's CVT.
kingmike40 I own a 2010 3.6 r with the Cvt and I don't care for it much either. The fake shift points and the jerkiness I could do without
@@03marauder1 2010 - 2014 uses a 5 speed auto, it's not a CVT.
@@timbrown4629 I meant to type 2015. I have 2 of these cars. A 2010 and 2015
what kind of winter tires did you have on ?
Thanks, my fave car, id be driving that very car if I didn't need a truck,.
So between the Kia Stinger this Subaru Legacy, which one would you say has better awd?
Nobody messes with a Subaru
Prefer the Stinger, it's set up to be more FUN. But with proper tires on either...the difference for the average driver is minimal. If I was say, ice racing, the Stinger is my pick. More control via throttle steering. Both do excellent in a blizzard.
Subaru has the best system ask anyone who owns one.

wow
Funniest thing, this model with 3.6 and 2.5 can drift without snow :d
Too much traction without snow. Howd you manage to do it
@@felipeguzman9534 just mid or good quality 45/225/R18 tires traction controll off and it does the job... Ok not on totally dry road but light rain can help you a lot maybe its not drifting but powerslides are fun too
@@jazenkow5792 ah i see, my pilot sport all seasons turn the legacy in to a corner demon. Def recommend them for handling and performance
I would have taken the viper out lol
Nice viper tho

Legacy is standard 60/40 power distribution to front and rear.

audio on this video is very quiet
You could not sound more Canadian if you tried
Lol. "aboot this."
Does it have remote start?
Jose Arroyo it’s optional
Yes, it does on the 3.6R Limited.
37k yea ok no and it has cvt now and is Toyota based plus a highly unreliable boxer engine.
Unreliable,what Subaru have made 15 million boxer engines over the last 40 years. You don't do something for 40 years and not get good at it.
just picked up a brand new 3.6 legacy limited for 26k you must have zero negotiating skills. I know people with 350k or more miles on theirs.

Boxer engines are shit, and interior is shit. For the price. No thank you. Sticking to my audi.
Say No to Autonomous Driving If you can afford an Audi why look back?
Bill H You have zero idea what the fuck you're on about.

Nah but audis have electrical problems
