    I’m on my 7th Subaru. My last and present one is the 2018 50th Anniversary Legacy Limited. I like it’s design over the 2021. I will stick with it until I see a New Design. The ‘21 is Bland by comparison to mine. The Harmon Kardon Sound system is incredible, 576 watts 12 Speakers, 2 of which are sub woofers. It’s incredible. I’ve broke 40 mpg on road trips which is very surprising ! I think this CVT IS THE best in the business, although I’d like to see a 7 spd auto transmission in the future. Thanks Sarah, great review !

    I love a good wagon / hatchback myself, which is why I daily a 2015 Outback 3.6r. I do love the new 2020 models, and I’m with you on the CVT not needing the fake shift all sorts of people cry about the CVT not feeling right. So now auto manufacturers put in fake shifts and they tune the CVT to try to keep engine RPMs low. All of that takes away from efficiency but it makes the crybaby auto journalists from the car magazines happy, as well as all the arm chair UA-cam viewers that also like to complain about CVTs.

    CVTs are great. Only people who didn't try Subaru's cvt can say otherwise. It's smoothest transmission in city traffic by far, and you can always go manual mode and shift it like it was manual (though i don't see any need to do that, as it works flawlessly)

      A properly built and tuned CTV transmission is faster than any manual or auto. It does not shift, it stays in the peak power band and never drops off of boost. What they do in cvt's in production model cars is not the best variant of a cvt transmission at all. If someone was able to tune out the 'shifts' of this xt model, it could be really fast.

By comparison my 08 STI I replaced it with was also Stage 2 with 318whp and my best time with that was a 12.75 in the 1/4. I think it was because of the Legacy only having a 5 speed.

    "If you have a CVT...let it act like a CVT..." Hallelujah. I think if we'd all been driving CVT's for the last 60 years, or so when stepped gear transmissions were introduced, there would be loud complaints about the abrupt gear changes they imposed on the driving experience. Personally, I'm not a fan of either CVT's or conventional torque converter AT's. I prefer a DCT. But the good news about CVT's is they're more fuel efficient and offer the potential of better performance than the torque converter alternative. And unlike the latter they can be tuned with software rather than by replacing gear sets. They're by no means perfect but they're getting better. And the bottom line is that their advantages mean they'll be further improved as development continues.

    Hey there Sarah! You do a great job doing all of your car review videos. I wanted to make a recommendation that you test drive a brand new 2021 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Sport model with the 5-speed manual transmission. If you can't get your hands on that perhaps the Limited model with the CVT. Keep up the awesome work and positivity!

      ======>>> I LOVE the "ocean blue pearl" exterior paint color option they have available for the Impreza, too! :-)

    Subaru should definitely make a STI or Spec B version of the Legacy
