The 2014 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Sport is a safe, sensible family sedan, but the dated interior and tepid styling of the soon-to-be-redesigned model limits its appeal.

2014 Subaru Outback Maintenance Manual

Americans increasingly have a soft spot in their hearts for Subaru. The brand’s sales have been steadily climbing, despite criticism that the company’s vehicles have dated-looking interiors, middle-of-the-road fuel economy and uninspired styling. The Subaru Legacy is the brand’s midsize sedan, a step up from the Impreza compact in size, power and price. The last freshening of the Legacy happened for the 2013 model year when the car received some minor updates to its style, a revised 2.5-liter engine and some trim package changes. In late 2013, Subaru introduced a new Sport trim level to the Legacy, joining the base, Premium and Limited models; I drove a new Sport. Changes from 2013 to 2014 are minimal; you can compare the model years side by side here.

The 2014 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Sport is a safe, sensible family sedan, but the dated interior and tepid styling of the soon-to-be-redesigned model limits its appeal.

Exterior & Styling
The latest Legacy isn’t all that different from earlier versions of the car, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who’d call it exciting. It’s very upright with a tall cabin and window glass that bucks the trend nearly every other automaker is following of lower, swoopier roofs with rising belt lines to create a wedge shape, making most other sedans look like each other. The Legacy is distinctive in that regard. Its exterior style is helped by the Sport model’s 18-inch wheels and tires that fill out the wheel wells nicely and give the car a more aggressive stance. Overall, the Legacy looks wholly unremarkable — it’s not likely to offend anyone’s sensibilities, but you won’t find your kids pinning posters of it to their bedroom wall.

How It Drives
Driving the Legacy isn’t much more entertaining than looking at it. Acceleration is acceptable, thanks to a big 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine under the hood, making 173 horsepower with a surprisingly menacing growl that’s characteristic of boxer engines. That power is channeled to all four wheels, as the Legacy is the only midsize sedan in the segment that features standard all-wheel drive. In the 2.5i Sport trim, it goes through a continuously variable automatic transmission that is “shiftable” through flappy paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel.

As CVTs go, the Subaru unit isn’t bad. Acceleration and passing are easily accomplished with a minimum of fuss, and the snorty grumble from the boxer engine is far more pleasant to listen to than the thrashy drone from competitors’ four-cylinder engines. The transmission received a programming update for 2014, and the result is a powertrain that may not inspire drag racing, but it is easy to live with and is well-suited to the Legacy’s mission in life. If you’re looking for more power, Subaru offers a 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder engine that bumps out 256 hp; it’s guaranteed to provide a more exciting commute — at the expense of fuel economy.

The Legacy’s handling is tame and uneventful, with more communicative steering than is found in competitors like the Toyota Camry and Chevrolet Malibu. Sadly, the Sport Package doesn’t bring any changes to the suspension — the tuning is the same as in other Legacy versions, and it’s a little harsh in ride quality and comfort. I blame the big 18-inch wheels and low-profile tires that got smacked around on Michigan’s frost-heaved roads. The brakes are strong and fade-free, and overall the car is confident and predictable, if unremarkable.

The most used version is 4.0.12.42, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. The main program executable is TMPGEncAuthoringWorks4BatchTask.exe.

A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). Tmpgenc authoring works 4 download.

But all that changes when the weather turns foul and the Legacy really comes into its element. For a while I found myself wondering why anyone would choose the Legacy over any number of competing sedans, but upon waking one morning to find everything covered in 4 inches of snow, I became a believer in the value of Subaru’s standard all-wheel drive. Simply put, this thing is a mountain goat in inclement conditions. Come into a slippery corner a bit too fast and find yourself sliding instead of turning? Give it a little gas and feel the wheels dig in and change your direction. Even with 18-inch all-season tires, the Subaru was impressive; with proper winter tires, it would be nigh unstoppable. All-wheel drive is available on only three direct competitors, as an option: the Ford Fusion, the Buick Regal and the upcoming, new-for-2015 Chrysler 200. In each of those models, all-wheel
