2017 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited

It handles with confidence, especially in rain or snow, and the steering gives you a good feel for the road. The cabin is roomy for front passengers, though rear headroom can feel a bit tight for taller folks. Owners report few major issues, but some have dealt with recalls and occasional infotainment glitches. The 3.6R Limited trades the base 2.5i's fuel economy for a much stronger 3.6L I6 that makes merging onto highways effortless. Its 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque come through a smooth automatic transmission, and the standard all-wheel drive gives you sure-footed traction in any weather. The Limited trim adds leather upholstery and a power moonroof, though the firmer suspension is the trade-off for the extra cornering composure.
