2006 Subaru Legacy Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Subaru Legacy love its handling, performance, and reliability. Many praised the powerful engine, great safety features, and comfort, especially during long drives. However, some drivers mentioned concerns about fuel economy, interior quality, and occasional interior rattles."
What can I say... I love the car. This is my 2nd one. I got in a real bad accident with my first. It saved my life. As far as performance goes it is great. I just keep adding more. It's so fun to drive. I would work a little more on the handling. It doesn't like to corner to well. The upgraded sway bars do help it though. In my opinion the only thing I don't like about the interier is the wood trim. It's a little to luxury to me but I deal. Overall it is a great car, it's got great safety features, and it is VERY FUN to drive.
May 12, 2009The 2.0 H4 Engine is a powerful engine (sometimes I wish I went for the H6 engine). The best thing in this car is it's handling, even on high speeds. I can easily say it's the best among competition. On high speed, the car just graps the road, I've tested it on its top speed of 220Km/H and it was stable better than lots of cars at half that speed.
January 7, 2008Alright, so it's not a Limited it's just a 2.5 GT. It must be a Canadian spec vehicle because GT Limited is the only option I could choose for 2006. What this means is that the car doesn't have leather or a sunroof. Nevertheless, what it does have is a detuned version of the WRX STi engine. It's a 2.5L DOHC Horizontally-Opposed turbocharged 4 cylinder rated at 250 HP and 250 LB-FT of torque. Power is put to the ground through a 5-speed manual and Subaru's full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive system. Simply put, this car goes like STINK. Styling is pretty subdued in the GT model though. Other than the hood scoop and 17" alloys shod with ZR rated rubber, it just looks like a regular Legacy. It's a simple, clean-cut sedan that doesn't have the "Hey look at me!" styling of the WRX. As for build quality, it's a Subaru. Panels fit evenly, doors close with a solid thud, tolerances are minimal and unforeseen mechanical problems are a rarity. Not to mention, safety ratings are top of it's class and the AWD system is quite simply one of the best on the market.

November 5, 2009Acceleration is pretty good, braking is really good, handling is amazing The car rattles a little when turning... but that's normal Looks pretty kick ass Gets around 32 mpg when driving normal Really fun to drive (Fast, handling, braking) Came with some pretty sporty tires too.
October 15, 2009This is my second Subaru, and probably not my last. This car has been 99.9% trouble-free, all I have done is regular maintenance for two years and it's been perfectly reliable the entire time.
January 29, 2008Great car! Amazing build quality, technology, and cost for car. A little expensive, but worth it. Awesome safety features and boxer engine mounted low for a good COG. I only wish I had the turbo model...And as always, sweet AWD.
January 13, 2010The best thing about a Subaru is its handling on slippery roads. I never missed a day of work commuting over 50 miles one way in South Eastern Pennsylvania. The heated front seats made it especially nice in the winter and the sun roof made it wonderful in pleasant weather. The leather seats are very comfortable on long drives. This car was always garaged until moving to Florida.
June 4, 2013Engine, Reliability, and looks, All top A Grade! It's the Legacy with STi motor. A really enjoyable driving experience. If you are light on the gas, it will run 60 mpg, so it's easy for your wallet too! It's good also at snowy conditions because of the world's best AWD.
October 29, 2010Perfomance: Amazing 240hp AWD. Build Quality: Outside and Mechanically amazing, interior could be better. Appearance: Gotta love the hood scoop for the top mount intercooler, has a sleeper look no one excpects it to be as fast as it is. Cost of ownership: Just regular maintenance. Fun Factor: Very fun AWD Turbo is the best!
June 16, 2009Very nice sports sedan, takes me everywhere, rock solid reliable, comfortable, very good performance, very few here, doesn't attract attention from thieves or police
