2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Special Edition

The 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Special Edition sedan is the next level up from the 2.5i base sedan, though it features the same 2.5-liter, 175-hp H4 engine and choice of standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission.  The Special Edition adds an 8-way power driver's seat and a single-pane sunroof (a dual pane comes with the wagon) to the base features.  All-wheel drive with limited slip differential, ABS brakes, dual front, side, and head airbags, 17-inch wheels with all-season tires, and daytime running lights are some of the standard safety features.

Other included equipment are power windows, locks, and mirrors, keyless entry, a CD player, cruise control, and a trip computer with temperature display.  Rear seats do not fold in the 2006 Legacy 2.5i Special Edition sedan, but do feature an armrest/trunk pass-through.  Cargo tie-downs and grocery holders are standard in the trunk, which holds up to 11 cubic feet.  A rear spoiler, short-throw shifter, leather trim, splash guards, and electrochromatic rearview mirror are some add-ons.  Drivers of the Special Edition sedan like the smooth ride, expert handling, and AWD grip.  Front seats are comfortable, but the back seat feels a bit cramped.
