A short piece in the online version of Automobile Magazine, comparing the new Legacy to the Mazda6 and Accord.

Result: The Legacy wins, and they don't even mention AWD! Not once!

Some quotes:

The first thing we noticed about the Legacy was the dashboard, which appears to be transplanted directly from a BMW 3-series. Going rearward from the dash, the style continues, with an interior a class above the competition.
If the ride of the Mazda is too stiff and that of the Honda is too soft, the Subaru is just right.
Like Goldilocks sitting down to her third bowl of porridge, we find the Subaru Legacy just right. A great engine and class-above interior are just the beginning with this car.

don't hate the magazine tho, they did name the impreza car of the year in 2002

It was a good review though, even if Stuart doesn't know what he was driving.

Nice to see atleast one review of the 2.5i; the car I almost bought.

good review! I agree the base Legacy is an excellent family car.
