👉 2017 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium - Ultimate In-Depth Look in 4K 

You just made me a subscriber lol

Uh... the rollback is based on the torque converter which both transmission types have. On a steep enough incline any normal transmission will roll back.

@@Bartonovich52 true enough, but I only speak from my experience from driving a friends Rogue that took off like a shot between brake release to acceleration on a steep grade in Ithaca NY if you understand that steepness. I never had a regular automatic act like that. My stick Nissan never took off at the rate I experienced with that piece of crap.

Hey im thinking about purchasing this car, its listed at for 2,000 with 15,000 miles on it. IDK if there is a typo somewhere or what. but it seems like a nice car and I want to know how has it been so far? have you had any problems with the vehicle??

@@thecontroversy7914 No problems so far

Thanks Alex :)

Np

+Steve Heimerl Salesman went over the vehicle in more detail? That is a fantastic salesperson :)

@@MikesCarInfo I doubt he did lol

Thank you for watching and your feedback :)

Other way around

do you still love it? im getting mine today

chachee15 what about you? Do you like yours I’m thinking of getting one this month or next ?

Do you still own it? Also is it high maintenance?

@@charliemcquillan4010 got into an accident last year during the pandemic, walk away without a scratch! Just bought a 2020 forester this summer! Enjoying that as well. I just ordered the 2021 Crosstrek in addition. So yes still love Subaru. Based on my experience in the accident, the safety quality is of Subaru is top notch

I have the Subaru, and drive a lot. The road noise is minimal, and I only hear road when really rough.

Mine has a dual exhaust

@@reginaturner2284 you must've had the 3.6

I too am looking to install dual exhaust, I wonder is it expensive

They haven't been made since 2012 and the suspected new one won't come out for the next few years.

my sister has one that is '04 so i don't think your completely correct on that i am just looking for an extended cab but thx anyways

Turtle-Guy I said 2012

Double-O $¢rilla No, the new Subaru Impreza also is available as an automatic sedan :)

LOGIX cool thanks

WRX has CVT as well

i prefer it to be on both sides lol

I don't sell cars but you should be able to find a used one for sale somewhere. This video was made back when this vehicle was new.

@@MikesCarInfo I thought you owned it. I'm looking at one Saturday and was curious if you still thought it was a good car. I've had the worst luck with head gaskets in Volvo and Audi so I was looking into a Subaru. Loved both cars they were just such money pits. I live in bfe and constantly had to pay to get them towed 2 hours away to get "fixed". Really hoping Subaru is different!

@@brooke3140 If you have bad luck with head gaskets then don't buy a Subaru lol Maybe look at Toyota or Lexus for reliability.

@@MikesCarInfo oh no really? I was looking at a Toyota but i just like the look of the legacy. The roads where I live are awful so I want AWD.

Every feature/item they add to a car costs a lot more then just the cost of the materials in this case just the price of a camera. There is a large expense and a lot of time/planning needed to adding an item to the assembly line, designing the new item, incorporating it into the software, figuring out how it will fit into the car (mounting, wiring, etc.). Another reason is because most cars take 3-5 years to develop, so everything you are seeing in a car now was planned a few years ago. So a feature like front parking sensor might be in high demand now but was not 2-3 years ago so they are unable to just stick it into the newest cars (due to the time it takes to plan). They will usually add them in a few years down the road. A lot of the time it is due to the cost when the technology first comes out and as the price goes down they are able to plan for it to be in a future car which means once the technology is affordable then 2-4 years later you will start seeing it as an option in regular cars. This is one of the reasons most cars have very outdates screens/entertainment systems. When they designed the cars they used a screen that was a few years old, or they designed the entertainment system 5+ years before but have not invested the money into redesigning it because they wanted to focus there resources on other parts of the car. And if they did invest into both the screen and another feature they would have to raise the prices of the car and that would turn customers off from the car. I hope that was a simple enough of an answer, I kind of rambled on but I think I explained it decently.

I have shopped around for cars 1-3 times a year for the past 4-5 years for myself or one of my family members. And I found that this generation of Subarus are the best cars in there price ranges. I personally have the 2015 Legacy Premium and I love it the only thing I regret is not getting the limited package. One of my Brothers has a 2015 Camry, and one has a 2015 Accord, and they both wish they had gotten a Legacy. From a price perspective the Subaru has been the best value. we all got similar featured cars and I spent about $1,400-2,00 less. My Legacy is the easiest to use when it comes to the infotainment system, and it has the most interior space we are all tall and so is the rest of my family so that is very important, mine is the only car with all wheel drive which is great in the winter time as well as on dirt roads. All the cars drive basically the same on normal roads, and in normal driving conditions. They all offer about the same options in the car if you wanted to spec it out. The biggest difference I have seen is the depreciation. 2015 Camry is selling for about 13-17k when there initial sticker price was 25-30k, While 2015 Subaru legacy are selling for 15-20k and the sticker prices are also 25-30k and the Honda accord has very similar numbers to the Camry. So there is a 2-5k difference in depreciation between the legacy and the Camry/Accord. That becomes very apparent in the lease pricing, when you go shopping ask to see the lease pricing for the cars you are thinking about buying and compare them. When you pay for a lease you are basically paying for the depreciation and a small amount of profit. I went shopping with my sister 3 weeks ago and we went to all 3 dealership the legacy dramatically beat out the Camry and accord by $40-90+ a month (the biggest variance was with the different options in the car). And even the Accord that had the least features that we wanted was not able to hit anywhere close to the lease of a nearly fully loaded Legacy. The major price difference in the lease pricing shows you that they know for a fact that there cars will depreciate a lot more, and if you decide to lease the car you will be paying a lot more and not getting anymore. So in conclusion, the Legacy was the most comfortable of the 3 (in mine and my brothers opinion). I paid a lower price for my car, and my car has depreciated a lot less. So after about 2.5 years my Subaru Legacy was the best option hands down. And most likely I will be selling my Subaru in the Summer to buy the 2018 Legacy. The only reason I am waiting is because they will be most likely adding Apple carplay/Android Auto to all future models, they finally implemented it into the new Imprezas and from everything I have heard from both dealers and the subaru community it sounds like all future cars will now have it which will take there infotainment system to the next level. I am very happy with Legacy and they have luckily fixed almost every gripe (and all my issues were minor) I have with the car with the 2016 and 2017 models so them adding Apple Carplay would cover all the bases and beyond. And if the 2018 model is lacking I could always stick with my current car or buy a 2017 Legacy and save a lot of money on it and get a car with all of the features I wanted in my car and have all the tiny issues fixed.

suggest you get the passat if you want leg/head room and excellent fuel economy and a HUMONGOUS trunk,and reasonable and powerful engine.got mine and i love it

@@featherman9 Best review about this car, thanks.

Seriously? So they are unreliable?

Subaru is one of the most durable brands on the market. It's durability is somewhere between above Nissan and below Toyota. Honda is number one in safety and resale value.

+GFA Showcase so what about the Dodge Charger? How does it hold up?

Double-O $¢rilla Car and Driver loves to glorify german and korean cars, but dog on most american and japanese cars. So in that aspect, pay it no mind. Most people don't read that shit. Car market is different from the ever-competitive smartphone market. Generally, american cars like Dodge might have less expensive repairs and plentiful parts because they're domestic, but they aren't as durable as the japanese.

Wow. You were right.

A review is based on an individual's subjective opinion. I try not to inject my opinion to sway people to like or dislike the car... the viewer decides what they like and don't like. My videos actually show the car in detail... under the hood, in the trunk, floorboards, fuel cap... ECT... I didn't see any of that in the video you shared. Actually I heard a lot about other cars than the one that the video was supposed to be about. In addition it is easier to see the car when the presenter isn't taking up 75% of the screen. Alex makes good videos no doubt however we have completely different objectives. BTW you may want to read the title of my video.

Your mom is underpowered

Bo Han Hey Bud, I wanna tell you something. It kinda doesn’t really matter if it’s underpowered or not. You can only go as fast as the speed limit dipfuck. I have a Subaru Legacy, 2012 to be exact, it’s underpowered too but it’s still more than capable of going +90mph which I’ll almost never do bc I’ll be ticketed for speeding. So you can’t really say a car is underpowered.

But do you think the long term reliability makes it worth it?

Genesis Jaylo it look pretty cheap, it does not have led lights for high and low... just the daylight... there is not start/stop bottom... it is a shame for a 30k dollars car

Genesis Jaylo your an idoit subaru is the best looking sedan car out there all the others look like shit

Sean Quertinmont butthurt Subaru fan spotted. 😄

You say it looks cheap, and outdated, but I would say it looks balanced and traditional. What more do you want from an interior? All the major points are soft to the touch, the steering wheel is telescoping and leather wrapped, cloth seats have a clean texture and breath better than leather, and there isn't an abundance of tacky chrome trim. Touch screen is intuitive looking and there arent 100 buttons scattered everywhere. What do think is missing or needs changed?
