2011 Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer

The Subaru Legacy has always been a great car, specially the estate version or Sports Tourer as it’s now called.. It actually offers nothing specials, just what you expect from an ordinary car, but it’s uncanny in delivering them the best way possible.

And with every new model the Legacy has become better and better. The new Legacy ST is longer, wider, taller, features  Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, has 1,726-litres of luggage space, a 5-Star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, and a base price of €41,995.

Now, that’s a lot of money. But then the Legacy is so robust and well-built it will probably last more and better than you!

The Legacy Sports Tourer offers the combination of Horizontally-Opposed ‘Boxer’ diesel engine (150 ps and maximum torque of 350 Nm) and Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel-Drive).  This well-proven set-up, further refined by Subaru’s engineers for the fifth-generation car, has made successive generations of Legacy Tourer the preferred choice for motorists seeking a practical family car that delivers rewarding yet secure handling in all weather conditions.

And here’s the long list of its equipments and features:
