09/10/2008 21:19. I've always liked the Subaru Legacy. It's one of those cars that never quite followed the norm in its market - it's always looked and acted apart from the crowd, which isn't necessarily the safest thing to do when you're in a market catering to a big audience with very precise needs and wants.

But playing it safe has never really been Subaru's thing ... well on the styling/platform front, anyway. Playing it safe on the safety front has always been very important to Subaru and it continues in the latest Legacy with multiple airbags to protect you from whichever way it gets hit, and the usual gaggle of traction goodies to keep the car toeing the straight line.

And front and centre on the safety front is Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive that provides traction to whichever wheels can... // The Kingston Whig-Standard
