Subaru Legacy
The Legacy returns without any major changes to report. The 175-horsepower, 2.5-litre flat-four comes with either a six-speed manual gearbox (a Canadian exclusive) or an optional CVT automatic. Unique in this category, the 3.6-litre flat-six delivers 256 horsepower and 247 lb.-ft. of torque, matched with the CVT. The under-the-radar Legacy is all about safety with its standard all-wheel drive and optional EyeSight system.
