Subaru’s Legacy lineup has been limited to sedans for 2008; all wagon versions have been drawn under the Outback model line, which is covered by a separate review. 2008 Subaru Legacy sedans get new front- and rear-end styling, with a bigger grille, new bumpers, and lights. Inside, a revised instrument panel and fabrics make for a richer feel.
Legacy models span a price range of more than $10,000, including three different engines and several trim levels, which can appoint the 2008 Subaru Legacy as everything from basic all-weather sedan to high-performance tourer. The 2.5i and 2.5i Limited models get a 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter horizontally opposed ("flat") four, while the 2.5 GT Limited and Spec.B models upgrade to a high-performance turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four making 243 horsepower. And at the top there’s a 245-horsepower, 3.0-liter flat-six powering the 3.0 R Limited.
