As far as performance goes, my 2008 Subaru Legacy AWD has been very reliable. It gets decent gas mileage and has a fairly large gas tank for a sedan, so I only have to hit the gas pump about once a week. I have a two-hour daily commute. I am able to fit two large rear facing car seats in my car comfortably, but it may be uncomfortable for a tall driver or passenger because it does push the front seats up pretty far. The trunk is super spacious. The car on its own looks sleek. I bought the car from my grandma, so I did not get a choice of color (it's brown), which I do not love, but the car overall looks very nice. The heated leather seats in the front are such a blessing in the winter as well. I like the option of the moon roof, not only because my husband is borderline too tall for the car, but because it gives my toddler a distraction while we're driving. He can look out the top of the car at the sky when he gets bored of looking out the windows. Plus, it gives just the right amount of air when it is a little too windy to have the windows open.

While this car is a little small for our family of four humans and three dogs, it does get great gas mileage and provides a smooth ride for long road trips. The actual design of the car is very sleek and easy to keep clean. I enjoy the leather seats for the most part, except for on very hot days. They are very easy to clean and maintain. I like that I am able to park my car pretty much anywhere. Considering the fact that the car has been in my family for over ten years (I am the second owner), it is still running in excellent shape without having to have any major work done on it outside of routine maintenance. I recently had to have the windshield replaced after an accident, in which the car held up amazingly despite being ran off the road, driving over a road sign and a barbed wire fence, and ending up in a bean field, and I was shocked at how affordable it was to replace the windshield. The only other damage was that I needed a new side mirror. The safety of this car is outstanding, obviously. Overall, it has been a really great car for my family, and I am happy we purchased it and kept the vehicle in our family.
