The Legacy engine is loud.
The Legacy ACC is poor, I'm not making that up.
THere is no telescoping wheel in the Legacy.


Need I go on? For a couple thousand more the Bimmer is a much better car.
5.1 seconds is fun, but if that's what you NEED in a family sedan then maybe there are other anatomical issues which need tending to.....
My comment on considering the Legacy was tongue-in-cheek. Just that the 5.1 sec stat is pretty impressive, regardless of how they got it. I had an older Legacy, and have thoroughly researched and test-driven the current turbo models, and agree with most everything you said.
