2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited Review

Affordable All-Wheel Drive Sedan

A three-quarter front view of a 2010 Subaru Legacy

In short: A value-oriented, sporty midsize sedan.

Competing in a crowded market segment home to the likes of the Honda Accord and Mazda 6, this family-friendly sedan offers the type of performance handling that few in its class can match. Featuring standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and a surprisingly sporty horizontally-opposed 4-cylinder engine, the Subaru Legacy is an excellent option for gear heads on a budget.
