Is the 2014 Subaru Legacy a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Subaru Legacy earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10. Drivers consistently praise its safety, comfort, reliability, all-wheel drive, and fuel efficiency, and the overview frames it as a practical family sedan that is especially strong in everyday use and harsh weather.

Is the 2014 Subaru Legacy reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Drivers also describe it as reliable and appreciate its trouble-free, dependable character, especially alongside its all-wheel-drive confidence and fuel efficiency. The expert notes reinforce that it is expected to cost relatively little to own over the long run, and the cost-effectiveness discussion points to strong reliability marks and favorable ownership economics. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge, so a careful inspection is still important.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Subaru Legacy?

At 58% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim you want. Because this model is praised for safety and all-weather confidence, it makes sense to verify that those strengths haven’t been compromised by prior damage or neglect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.5i starts at $21,090, while the 2.5i Premium adds a 10-way power driver’s seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, reversing camera, Bluetooth, and a better stereo with HD Radio, satellite radio, USB, iPod, and auxiliary inputs. The 2.5i Sport adds 18-inch wheels, fog lights, fake carbon-fiber trim, a power sunroof, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink, and it is called the best-looking version. The 2.5i Limited adds leather seats, woodgrain trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system. The 2.5i Premium is the best-value trim for most shoppers.
• Powertrain: Most models use a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 173 horsepower and a CVT, while the 3.6R Limited uses a 6-cylinder engine with 256 hp and a 5-speed automatic. The CVT is described as making the most of the 4-cylinder’s modest output and helping the car feel less underpowered than the numbers suggest.
• Safety package: EyeSight includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and lane departure warning. It is available on the 2.5i Premium and 2.5i Limited, but not on the 2.5i Sport.
• Infotainment: Subaru’s Starlink technology is included with the optional navigation system. The system supports phone pairing, contacts, calling, and music streaming, but the touchscreen can be unresponsive and the interface lacks natural voice recognition.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.5i model is rated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. The expert also notes that the CVT improves fuel economy.

Which 2014 Subaru Legacy trim should I buy?

The 2014 Subaru Legacy is offered in 4 trim levels: 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Sport, 2.5i Limited.

Here's the short version:

• 2.5i: This is the entry point, but it is the least equipped and the only version offered with a 6-speed manual. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and standard all-wheel drive, but most shoppers will want more equipment.
• 2.5i Premium: This is the best-value trim for most buyers because it adds the CVT plus useful comfort and convenience upgrades like the power driver’s seat, reversing camera, Bluetooth, and a stronger audio setup.
• 2.5i Sport: This is the most style-focused choice, with 18-inch wheels, fog lights, and a more distinctive look. It is the one to choose if appearance matters most, but it does not get EyeSight.
• 2.5i Limited: This is the most upscale 2.5i trim, with leather, woodgrain, dual-zone climate control, and the premium Harman Kardon audio system. It suits you if you want the most comfort and refinement without moving to the 3.6R.

EyeSight is available on the 2.5i Premium and 2.5i Limited, but not on the 2.5i Sport.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Subaru Legacy?

The market looks moderately favorable if you are a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 424 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,194, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Subaru Legacy's resale value?

The current average of $8,744 sits slightly below last year's $9,039.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right number. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range, you may have less downside left than a buyer who pays closer to the top of the market. Strong value positioning and broad owner satisfaction can also help support demand when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Subaru Legacy safe?

The 2014 Subaru Legacy earns an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA. It also earns a three-star rating in the individual side-impact pole test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

EyeSight is the named driver-assistance suite, and it includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and lane departure warning. It is available on the 2.5i Premium and 2.5i Limited, but not on the 2.5i Sport. The main caveat is that the side-impact pole result is weaker than the rest of the crash-test picture, and the suite does not include blind-spot monitoring.

Should I buy a 2014 Subaru Legacy or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for strong fuel economy, safety, comfort, quality, and all-weather capability.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $10,616, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $8,744 average.
• The redesign is bigger, better looking, and roomier.

The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2014 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and solid safety. If you want a newer-feeling cabin and can spend more, the 2015 is the better upgrade path.

How does the 2014 Subaru Legacy compare to the 2014 Honda Accord?

Our experts score the 2014 Subaru Legacy 7.3/10 and the 2014 Honda Accord 9.2/10. The Accord is the stronger all-around pick, especially if you want more power and better fuel economy. The Legacy counters with standard all-wheel drive, a lower average used price, and a stronger accident-free share. If you value winter confidence and lower purchase cost, the Legacy makes sense; if you want the more polished overall package, the Accord is the better choice.
