LEGACY increased, and the seats have been redesigned for better back support and superior comfort. The seat surfaces are dressed in either premium fabric or luxurious leather, boosting the comfort level even more. Available interior features include a Harman Kardon® speaker system, a DVD-based navigation system, a MediaHub for iPod® and USB stick integration with the audio system, Bluetooth® connectivity, Bluetooth® audio streaming and the list goes on. It’s also worth noting that the Subaru Legacy (as well as the Subaru Outback and Tribeca) is built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. facility in rural Indiana, the first zero-landfill automotive plant in the U.S. This offers proof positive that Subaru keeps the customer, as well as the environment, top of mind at all stages of development from the initial design of the car right through to production. While the list of improvements to the 2010 Subaru Legacy is a result of the engineers’ and designers’ efforts, the customer played a key role in guiding the creation of the list. The outgoing Legacy was a tremendous sedan with an incredibly loyal following; the revised version adds a compelling new chapter to the story. These improvements – combined with the inclusion of longstanding Subaru qualities such as Japanese reliability, top-notch safety and nimble handling – promise to make this Legacy another favourite among people who love to drive and refuse to compromise. To top it all off, the new Legacy also features a new, lower base price starting at $23,995. More car, less money – precisely the kind of approach that’s defined the Legacy since it first appeared on the market. 8| AUTO ON/OFF HEADLIGHTS A light sensor triggers the headlights automatically at dusk (or any time that daylight is restricted) and will shut them off when you remove keys from the ignition. ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE Easier to operate than a pedal or lever, the electronic push-button parking brake also opens up space in the footwell and centre console. BLUECONNECT® Utilizing Bluetooth® technology, the voice-activated hands-free blueconnect® system is conveniently located on the centre stack with built-in speaker and includes a discreetly positioned microphone on the steering column. This system is easy to use and boasts many features such as multiple phone pairing for up to seven phones, phone book storage, choice of language (English, French and Spanish) and advanced voice-recognition technology. Not all features listed are available on all models.
