Real Estate

What we like:

Decent handling

all-wheel drive security and stability

rear legroom matches class best

What we dislike:

Looks divide opinions

could do with more performance

boot slightly less well-shaped than old model’s

Standard on the base model tested here are cruise control, factory fitted stereo with remote controls on the steering wheel, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, trip computer and so on.

The $93,500 Legacy Wagon 2.0i is barely $2k more than the slightly less practical saloon. The wagon offers acres of space and practicality, decent dynamics and is superb value for money considering the amount of metal you get and that it’s closest competitor in terms of size and utility is the more expensive Ford Mondeo Wagon. Now, if only Subaru made it look better – that’ll make the Legacy Wagon 2.0i a much more convincing prospect indeed.
