2006 Subaru Legacy Review
An available navigation system and new sport model highlight '06 changes for the Legacy. Sharing chassis and engine with the SUV-flavored Outback Legacy comes in sedan and wagon body styles. Every model has all-wheel drive and a horizontally opposed engine. Legacy 2.5i models has a 175-hp 4-cyl. Legacy 2.5 GT has a turbocharged 250-hp 4-cyl. Both engines come with a choice between manual or automatic transmission. The automatics have manual-shift capability. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags are standard. The Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B model has a sport suspension and 18-inch wheels. The navigation system is standard in the spec.B and is available on other models.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.



Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks include Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Nissan Altima, and Subaru Outback and Legacy.

New or significantly redesigned models include Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Volkswagen Passat.

News
Though recently redesigned, the Legacy/Outback line will eventually get the signature Subaru face introduced with the B9 Tribeca SUV and now the Impreza passenger cars. Apart from that and the usual features shuffling, these cars should mark time for the next couple of years.
