Subaru nabs The Car Connection's (TCC) Best Car to Buy award for the second time with the 2015 Legacy. Don't believe it? Then take it for a test drive.
The Japanese car maker is brimming with confidence about the all-new Legacy, probably due to the fact that it bested most of its market rivals in virtually every category. In the Subaru Legacy Challenge, this flagship car went up against heavyweights like the Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Mazda6, and Toyota Camry.
In the TCC front, the Legacy was pitted against adversaries beyond its class like the Hyundai Genesis, Ford Mustang, and a fellow Subaru-the Outback. Listing the qualities that make the Legacy a winner will be a topic for another time. For now, check outwhat experts like TCC's Bengt Halvorson think of it.
EyeSight
For an entry-level sedan, the Legacy features a sophisticated driver assist system called the EyeSight. Made available in Fall 2014, the EyeSight achieved top scores in crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for its adaptability to common road conditions.
EyeSight is wired to the Legacy's systems to control its functions when on the verge of colliding with another motorist. Even the most careful pair of hands on the road commits mistakes, after all, something EyeSight seeks to address. With this feature, you can set your cruise speed and distance so that the car slows down or stops as needed.
Price
Subaru dealerships near Gulfport, MS and adjacent areas recognize that while a car is a hefty investment, you don't need to spend more to get more. In addition, the Legacy far outclasses other sedans in its category. In contrast, other brand-new sedans don't have drive assist systems that score as high as the Legacy's. Simply put, you'd be hard-pressed to find an affordable limited-edition that packs this many great features.
Can't wait to take the 2015 Legacy out for a spin? You might want to book a test drive with a trusted Gulfport, MS Subaru area dealer such as Covington's Baldwin Motors. All you need is to be 18 years and above, and have a valid driver's license and proof of insurance.
