2006 2007 subaru Legacy sedan earned four stars (out of a possible five) for driver protection in frontal impacts and five stars for the front passenger. The wagon picked up four stars for front side-impact protection and five stars for rear side-impact protection. The Legacy earned a "Good" rating in 40-mph frontal offset crash testing and was named a "Best Pick" overall. All Legacys have four-wheel antilock disc brakes and front seatbelts with load limiters and pre-tensioners. Side airbags are also standard on GT models. The best reason to take a look at the Legacy is its standard all-wheel-drive system. With all four wheels receiving power, the Legacy is more stable than a two-wheel-drive car when it comes to driving on wet, snowy and icy roads. Even on dry roads the Legacy is an entertaining car to pilot thanks to its compliant suspension and tight steering. For maximum fun, get the GT model with the five-speed manual transmission. |
