Is the 2014 Subaru Legacy reliable?

The user feedback points to reliability, safety, comfort, and trouble-free ownership, while also noting that many drivers feel confident counting on it in winter weather.

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

At 58.6% 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 been in a prior collision or shows uneven wear. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the car’s safety and comfort features still work as intended. Because this model is often bought for all-weather confidence and daily practicality, you want to make sure the example you choose still feels solid and well cared for.

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, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a reversing camera, Bluetooth, and a better stereo with HD Radio, satellite radio, a USB port, an iPod connection, and an auxiliary audio input jack. The 2.5i Sport adds 18-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, fake carbon fiber dashboard trim, a power sunroof, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with a Homelink universal garage door opener. The 2.5i Limited adds leather seats, woodgrain trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, a premium Harman Kardon audio system, and fancy gauges.
• Powertrain: Most models use a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 173 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual in the base version or a CVT in other 2.5i models. The 3.6R Limited uses a 6-cylinder engine with 256 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The CVT is described as making the most of the 4-cylinder’s output and helping the car rarely feel underpowered.
• 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 is easy to pair with a phone and supports calling and music streaming, but it lacks natural voice recognition and the touchscreen can be unresponsive.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.5i gets 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. The test car averaged 26.4 mpg in real-world driving.

Which 2014 Subaru Legacy trim should I buy?

The 2014 Subaru Legacy is offered in 5 trim levels: 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Sport, 2.5i Limited, 3.6R Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The 2.5i is the least equipped choice, and the safety content makes clear that EyeSight is not available on the Sport trim, which also signals that lower trims may miss out on key driver-assistance tech.
• Sweet-spot trim: The 2.5i Premium is the best value pick because it adds the reversing camera, Bluetooth, upgraded audio, and EyeSight while staying below the more expensive luxury-oriented trims.
• Premium/top trim: The 2.5i Limited is the most upscale gas model, adding leather seats, woodgrain trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the premium Harman Kardon audio system.
• Off-road trim: None of the trims is positioned as an off-road choice.

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

What is the 2014 Subaru Legacy's resale value?

The current average of $8,895 sits slightly above last year's $8,695.

That upward move suggests the market has held up well for this model year, which is a positive sign if you plan to sell later. Strong demand can help support pricing, especially when shoppers are looking for a practical sedan with all-wheel drive, comfort, and efficiency. The fact that prices are still rising year over year also suggests buyers continue to value this car’s everyday usefulness.

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 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 safety writeup also notes a three-star rating in the individual side-impact pole test, which is worth keeping in mind if safety is a top priority.

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:

• 27.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.30% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary calls it a talented, fun-to-drive value pick with strong fuel economy, safety, comfort, and all-weather capability.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $10,836, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $8,895 average.
• It is bigger and more generously appointed.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2014 is the smarter buy because it combines strong owner satisfaction, solid expert praise, and a lower average price. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer, roomier sedan, the 2015 is the better secondary path for price-sensitive buyers who want a redesigned cabin and a more polished feel.
