Buyers drawn to the Legacy Sport Sedan won't need to spend much time jawing with salesmen—not a single option is needed. In addition to the standard four-wheel drive and Bosch ABS, the deal includes air conditioning, power windows, central locking, cruise control, a moonroof , a sonically spectacular Clarion-built 80-watt stereo with four speakers, and special front seats with new squabs and backrests.
The Legacy's cabin is still awash in lifeless plastic surfaces whose tacky grain makes a mess of the doorsills, most of the dash, the headliner, the A-pillars, the sun visors, even the steering-wheel hub. Subaru's leather-laden Legacy LSi would be just the ticket, but no turbocharged engine is offered in that model.
Bottom-line time: the Sport Sedan is carefully engineered, capable, and fast in its class. But it is also a car that drives like it looks—largely benign and bland, somehow failing to excite. This $19,350 turbocharged Subaru would draw a lot more attention if it were priced to compete with $16,000 Honda Accords and Mitsubishi Galants. Instead, it finds itself within $650 of a nasty brawl with true luminaries in the hot $20,000 sports-sedan niche. It is, for example, neither as fast nor as firmly planted as the Ford Taurus SHO.
