There are no shortage of choices in the mid-size sedan market, but there is a clear-cut winning choice for the consumer looking for the perfect blend of performance, styling, safety, fuel economy, practicality and price: The 2011 Subaru Legacy.
“The 2011 Legacy offers the owners and drivers the best of all worlds,” Sudbury Fine Cars sales consultant Brian Bortolotti said. “I drive one myself and just absolutely love it.
“The Legacy has a lot of pedigree from the racing circuit and that makes it a dynamic vehicle to drive. You feel like you’re part of the car. It’s a great vehicle for anyone, including families and couples. The Legacy has it all, safety, performance, elegant style, fuel economy and an amazing amount of standard features.”
The winning combination starts with the legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system (AWD) — standard on all Subaru vehicles and a system refined to excellence by the company since 1972. The AWD system is a source of pride for Subaru and breeds confidence into drivers and passengers, knowing the vehicle will always have remarkable handling in any road conditions.

Safety is a priority for Subaru. The AWD system is the foundation for the safety features on the Legacy. There are six airbags, three-point seatbelts, electronic stability control and a series of class-leading passive safety systems to ensure Subaru owners are ready for the worst. The Legacy was named a Top Safety Pick for 2011 by the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety.
The winning combination continues with performance. There are three engine options to pick from: 2.5-litre with 170-horsepower and 170 pounds-feet of torque; 2.5-litre turbo with 265-horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque and 3.6-litre with 256-horsepower and 247 pounds-feet of torque.
Needless to say, any one of the boxer engines can get the owners’ engines running with crisp and effortless acceleration. With the symmetrical all-wheel drive, the Legacy handles tight corners, unexpected bumps and messy road conditions with ease. The driving dynamics of the Legacy make it impossible for the driver not to feel invigorated and inspired. The Legacy is at home on any road in any condition.
The performance doesn’t come at a sacrifice of fuel economy. For those who hate spending time at the gas pumps and shaking out their wallets until they’re bone-dry, rejoice as the Legacy can obtain 44-miles-per-gallon.
The winning combination continues with styling and features, inside and out. The 2011 Legacy has sharp and distinct curves to help it stand out in a bloated market segment.
Standard features such as heated side mirrors and heated seats will be appreciated by northern Ontario drivers on blistery cold days in the winter.
The Legacy also earned a 2011 ALG Award for residual value in the mid-size car market. A testament to the quality of production that has gone into the design, engineering and manufacturing of the Legacy.
Finally, the 2011 Legacy was made to be practical. It features a huge trunk that can swallow up hockey bags, golf bags, weekend camping gear — you name it, the Legacy can carry it. Interior space, front and back, is a perfect match for those with longer legs. The instrument panel is well-conceived and the buttons are easy to adjust.
Despite the supreme safety features, high-grade performance, stunning styling and quality standard features, the Legacy doesn’t break the bank when it comes to cost. The 2011 Legacy starts at $23,995, well-equipped and tops out at $38,595 for the robust GT version.
It all adds up. There’s lots to love about the Legacy and people can see it at Sudbury Fine Cars, located at 2097 Long Lake Rd. in Greater Sudbury.
