This year, the Legacy has been treated to a number of detailed improvements. The 3.6L flat- 6 engine is back, while the 2.5L 4-cylinder has seen its valve timing adjusted for increased torque at low revs. All these improvements translate to enhanced driving pleasure. The Limited can be equipped with the ingenuous EyeSight driver assistance system.
