Ah, the space—loads and loads of it. The interior roominess of the Legacy sedan is quite impressive. When the fifth-generation model was launched in model year 2010, this midsize sedan grew up. As the roomiest Legacy to date, the car provides 103 cubic feet of passenger space and serves up nearly 14 cubic feet of trunk storage. There is virtually no intrusion on occupant comfort, so even rear seat passengers feel pampered with 37.8 inches of legroom. The sedan also conveys comfort for the driver via a 10-way power adjustable seat and via the uncluttered placement of audio, radio and other frequently used controls.
