Drivers in North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Hanahan, Summerville, and West Ashley are always on the hunt for great deals, easy performance, quality engineering, and a fair price; but buying your next family vehicle might be the most important car purchase that you ever make, and you want to be sure you don't have to compromise.
And while the perfect car for your unique family really boils down to individual preferences and daily demands, there are a few key reasons why the 2017 Subaru Legacy could be a better choice for your next daily driver than the impressive and well-loved Subaru Outback.
Check out our top reasons why the Legacy is a great family car, or visit Crews Subaru of Charleston to take a test drive--and be sure to bring the whole family!
- Price: Starting prices for the 2017 Legacy run nearly $4,000 less than the base Outback--and you'll see a similar disparity as you go up through the trim level lineup. If you're looking to save money, the Legacy is probably the better choice
- Fuel Economy: The newest Subaru Outback boasts excellent fuel economy ratings, but with its smaller size and lighter body, the 2017 Legacy will save you more on gas--up to 25 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway
- Size: These two models both seat five passengers with ease, and are equal in width; so both will fit nicely in your garage or driveway. But, the Legacy is lower and shorter than the somewhat bulky Outback--if you frequently need to find parking in cramped downtown areas, the Legacy might be better for your family
- Class-leading dependability: While both sedan and wagon boast market-leading capability, the 2017 Legacy is highly competitive within its class, and has also consistently been ranked as one of the safest and longest-lasting midsize sedans
But, of course, as always when buying a new Subaru, you can't really go wrong.
