        How this compares

        2019 Subaru Legacy123
        Median 2019 model here (93 vehicles)234
        Median 2019 sedan here (22)202

        123 complaints is 1.9 times fewer than the median 2019 model on this site and 1.6 times fewer than the median 2019 sedan. Among the 6 Legacy model years here it ranks 3rd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.

        25 complaints came in 2020, 1.9 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
