Subaru's most popular nameplate and the one that has outlasted all others gets few changes since its recent upgrade. The most notable addition to the 2007 Subaru Legacy is a new GT spec.B engine, available only in the sedan, for WRX-like performance.

The 2007 Legacy comes as a sedan or wagon, with seating for 4 or 5. You have your choice of a 2.5i, featuring a 175-hp 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine or a turbocharged version in the GT trims that hits 243 hp. All 2.5i trims, including Base, Limited and Special Edition, come with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, while the GT Limited also has a 5-speed automatic, and the GT spec.B features only a 6-speed manual from the WRX. Another interesting innovation for the 2007 Legacy GT models is SI-Drive. The Subaru Intelligent Drive allows you to choose between 3 engine modes for optimum performance—Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp.

The new GT spec.B Legacy also adds much more luxury inside, to go along with its high-performance engine. Heated leather seats and a navigation system are standard. It also features a stiffer suspension and less body roll than the GT Limited. Stability and traction control are standard as well.

ABS brakes, all-wheel drive, and 6 airbags are standard across the 2007 Legacy lineup. Wagons have roof rails and a rear spoiler. The 60/40 split-fold rear seats fold flat and have a trunk pass-through for long objects. Owners give high marks to its all-wheel-drive performance (the Legacy is popular in northern climes), interior comfort, high safety ratings and quiet ride. Negatives appear to be limited rear legroom, a small glovebox, and the need for more storage compartments.
