2008 Subaru Legacy 

The 2008 Subaru Legacy is a perfect blend of style and substance. Beneath its stylishly re-sculpted exterior lie the underpinnings of a purebred performance car - the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system, the SUBARU BOXER engine and a finely-tuned suspension all put you firmly in control of the Legacy's breathtaking performance capabilities. Have a look inside - with interior premium fabrics, a new telescopic steering wheel and XM® and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio wiring, its performance-oriented environment exudes refreshed sophistication. Whether you take the controls of the well-equipped Legacy 2.5i, one of the upgraded Touring or Limited Packages, the sporty turbocharged 2.5GT or the pinnacle of performance in its class - the 2.5GT spec.B, they will all awaken the genuine driving aficionado within you.

A true head-turner as it straddles the road, the 2008 Subaru Legacy gracefully boasts sharply redesigned front and rear lights, new bumpers and fenders and a dynamic front grille. The Wagon, with a roofline spoiler and low-profile roof rails, maintains the sophisticated and elegant European styling of the sedan but also delivers up to 1851 L of easily accessible storage space. In fact, the entire 2008 lineup - the well-appointed 2.5i, the Touring and Limited Packages with their upgraded 17'' aluminum alloy wheels and body-coloured mirrors, the 2.5GT with its a aggressive hood scoop, and the lavish 2.5GT spec.B with its 18'' aluminum alloy wheels - can give those you pass by a bad case of whiplash.

Whether you are driving deep into the night, snow or fog, your Legacy's multi-reflector halogen fog lights will lead the way. Available on all models above the base 2.5i, they add convenience, safety and confidence to every journey.

An added touch of style, a safety attribute and a useful feature - you will truly appreciate the heated side mirrors (with available integrated LED turn signals) during cold weather or when the visibility is poor.

Power-sliding and tilting upon your wish, it adds a new dimension to your enjoyment the Legacy's sophisticated level of accommodation. Take in the cool breeze, feel the warmth of the sun, let the outdoors in even as you drive - all just a flick of a switch away.

Practical and aesthetic at the same time, the hood scoop helps with engine cooling and air intake, thereby improving the overall performance of the SUBARU BOXER engine and adding a sporty twist to the Legacy's elegant styling.

The Legacy Wagons' roof-line spoiler with integrated brake lights makes it more visible in poor weather, improves its aerodynamic performance and gives it a sleek, sporty look.

The 2007 Subaru Legacy has the ability to charm both the true driving enthusiast and the luxury car aficionado. This capacity begins in the design stage: controls are convenient, logically-placed and comfortable to the touch. From there, high-end materials - chosen for durability, tactile quality and visual appeal - are used throughout. To top it all off, available amenities such as power heated seats, a navigation system and a premium audio system complete the picture. The message here is: Enjoy the drive.

The GPS DVD-based navigation system sends map images and directions to the bright, 7-inch Monitor system screen, helping you stay on track at all times. (2.5GT spec.B)

Pump up the volume and bear witness as the interior is transformed into a concert hall with a AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA audio system that is pre-wired for XM® Satellite radio.

A standard feature to combat Canadian winters, the heated seats help keep things toasty inside... even when things are at their worst outside. (excluding 2.5i base models)

This feature displays outside temperature, SI-DRIVE mode, elapsed time, driving range, fuel economy and trip computer information for even more convenience. (2.5GT and 2.5GT spec.B)

Now you can take your travelling music with you everywhere. With the auxiliary input jack, your portable music player connects to the audio system.

Despite the fact that the 2008 Legacy lineup breathes sophistication and style, its active, passive and pedestrian safety features also reflect all that Subaru stands for. Active - including the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system for maximum stability, and the Subaru symmetrical AWD system for superb control help you avoid on-road problems. Passive - including a wide field of visibility, a ring-shaped reinforcement frame, active front-seat head restraints and six airbags help form a 360-degree barrier of protection in the event of a collision. Safe inside and out - the Legacy's modular, detachable windshield wipers, energy-absorbing bumpers, and extra clearance between the aluminum hood and the SUBARU BOXER engine provide added protection for pedestrians. This unparalleled emphasis on safety has earned the Legacy a Top Safety Pick* and 5-star crash test safety rating+.

The Legacy's roof, door pillars, window pillars and floor form a ring-shaped barrier that envelops its occupants and helps to dissipate impact energy from all directions.

Dual-stage deployment front airbags, front side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags work together to provide a proven layer of protection for all of the Legacy's occupants.

In the event of a collision, the active front-seat head restraints actually advance towards the back of the head and the neck of the passengers to help reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.

The ISO-FIX/LATCH child seat anchor system and a rear-door child safety locking system are standard for all Legacy models and further indicate Subaru's attention to detail when it comes to superior occupant protection.

The Legacy's available Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system continuously monitors the vehicle's stability. When a loss of control in imminent it automatically adjusts the AWD torque split, brake pressure to each wheel and engine power output to restore vehicle stability.
