Except for a small power boost, the 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited is little changed from the previous year. Available as a mid-size sedan, this all-wheel drive, 5-passenger car comes with a 2.5-liter, 175-hp H4 engine and a 4-speed automatic only. All-wheel drive comes with a limited slip differential and four-wheel independent suspension. ABS brakes, dual front-side and front and rear head airbags are standard, as are 17-inch alloy wheels, all-season tires, fog lights, and daytime running lights.
The 2006 Legacy 2.5i Limited adds heated leather seats, automatic climate control, and a 6-CD changer to the 2.5i Special Edition's power driver's seat, sunroof, trip computer, temp display, leather trim, heated mirrors, and full power accessories. A rear spoiler, electrochromatic mirror, and garage opener can be added to the 2006 Legacy 2.5i Sedan. Rear seats do not fold down, but do offer a trunk pass-through that doubles as an armrest. The 2.5i Limited gets the highest crash test and safety marks. Owners like the smooth handling, long list of standard features, heated seats, and quiet ride of the 2006 Legacy 2.5i Limited. They wish the back seat had more room and the sedan had a bit more power.
