2013 Subaru Legacy Has The "Oomph"
2013 Subaru Legacy Has The “Oomph”
The refreshed 2013 Subaru Legacy has gone through a tweak here and a tuck there so it can compete with other midsized saloons. Rest assured the Legacy has its work cut out. Every change that has been made to the Legacy is small but it makes up a more impressive vehicle. Lets look at the changes; a naturally aspirated 2.5litre engine which is more powerful, headlights, front bumper, the front end gets a new grill and the suspension gives a more comfortable ride. A new type of seat fabric has been used which improves comfort.
The changes done to 2013 Legacy are small but they add up to a more impressive car. Lets look at the changes; a new slightly powerful 2.5-litre engine, headlights, front bumper, the front end with a new grille and adjustment of suspension for a comfortable ride. A new type of seat fabric has been used to improve comfort. These changes are far from being ground breaking but Subaru had to do something about the new Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Chevrolet Malibu. Legacys two boxer engines, its sporty ability and standard all wheel drive system set it apart from many of its competitors.
The Subaru Legacy 2013 is available in both four and six cylinder engine. The all wheel drive system makes the Legacy a family saloon. The Legacy stays firm around the corners in any weather conditions. Steering is not as expressive as one would like but it is certainly not in a coma as some of its competitors. It comes equipped with a CVT transmission as well five speed manual and six speed automatic. The four cylinder offers rapid acceleration and has a PZEV option which tweaks with things like fuel injectors to make a cleaner vehicle with less emissions.
Subaru bucks the trend when it comes to interior as it offers a small information display which sits on top of the dash. Unlike its rivals who are full of technology and gadgets Legacy has easy to read buttons. You can be sure that the area around the back seats doesnt have dual video displays on the front headrests, or massaging ottomans or customizable ambient lighting but what you do get is a Legacy which is good at keeping a low profile. It has the “oomph” for overtaking, performs good enough so no one can call it boring and attractive enough so that it doesnt look behind the times.
