Sadly, Subaru's Legacy Wagon does not get the sporty Spec.B model the sedan lineup offers. Still, the long back version of the automaker's premiere model has much to offer. There's a wide ranger of models offered, all with a surprising amount of luxury and refinement, not to mention standard all-wheel drive. For 2007, all turbocharged models now offer the Si-Drive (Subaru Intelligent Drive) system, which debuted on the aforementioned Spec.B sedan. Through a dial on the centre console, drivers can select three different drive modes, "Intelligent" which help boost fuel efficiency, "Sport" which provides stronger acceleration, and "Sport Sharp" which really cranks-up the engine's electronic throttle mapping to deliver lightning-quick throttle response and more power sooner.

Lots of choice, unexpected luxury, AWD
