Mid-Size sedans and wagons grouped under the Legacy emblem pare to three models for both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon formats -- Legacy L, the L Special Edition and new 2.5 GT.
All draw from a single-cam 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine that makes 165 hp through either a five-speed manual or optional four-speed electronic automatic.
The independent suspension common to all Legacy models has a multi-link arrangement in the rear, and all also carry four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock controls.
For additional safety, Subaru constructs a ring of steel around the passenger compartment that can fend off impact forces of a collision from any direction -- frontal, offset front, side or rear.
Three different AWD mechanisms work in the Legacy series including the new VDC AWD for 2.5 GT.
