The 2018 Subaru Legacy: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Subaru Legacy for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2018 Subaru Legacy before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 117 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.3 L/100 km rating. Expect about $12.87 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Legacy
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The Legacy in everyday use
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Legacy answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
