2016 SUBARU LEGACY

If you're searching for a dependable all-wheel drive sedan that can handle everything the Pacific Northwest throws at it, this 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited Sedan for sale at Own A Car Yakima in Yakima, WA deserves a serious look.

About This 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited

At 158,738 miles, this Legacy is well into its working life — but that's not necessarily a red flag for a Subaru. The Legacy platform is well known for being one of the more durable midsize sedans on the market, with many examples routinely crossing 200,000 miles when properly maintained. Buyers looking for a used Subaru Legacy in Yakima, Washington will find this Limited trim offers a strong feature set typically found on higher-priced competitors. The key is having a pre-purchase inspection done and reviewing available service history, both of which our team at Own A Car Yakima can help facilitate.

2016 Subaru Legacy Performance and Engine

The 2.5-Liter Boxer Four-Cylinder

Under the hood sits Subaru's familiar 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine with PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) designation — meaning this Legacy meets some of the strictest emissions standards in the country while still delivering smooth, predictable power for daily driving. The engine pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with manual mode, giving drivers the option to hold gears manually when descending mountain passes or navigating steep terrain around the Yakima area.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on every Legacy, not an optional upgrade — and in a region that deals with snow on mountain passes, ice on valley roads, and wet conditions through much of the year, that's a genuine advantage over front-wheel drive sedans in this price range.

Subaru Legacy Features and Interior

What the Limited Trim Brings to the Table

The 2.5i Limited is the upper tier of the Legacy lineup, and it reflects that in the cabin. Expect features typically associated with this trim level including leather-trimmed seating, a heated front row, a power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a touchscreen infotainment system. The Legacy's interior is notably spacious for a midsize sedan, with generous rear legroom that makes longer drives comfortable for all passengers.

Subaru's EyeSight driver assistance technology, available on 2016 Limited models, provides an added layer of confidence with features like pre-collision braking and adaptive cruise control. Confirm with our team whether this specific vehicle is equipped with EyeSight.

Subaru Legacy Reliability and Ownership

The Subaru Legacy has earned consistent praise from owners and independent reliability analysts for its durability and relatively low cost of ownership over time. The 2.5-liter engine, while not the most powerful in its class, is considered one of Subaru's more dependable powerplants. Common maintenance items at higher mileage include timing components, CVT fluid changes, and head gasket inspections — the latter being something to verify service history on for any higher-mileage 2.5i engine.

Owners consistently highlight the Legacy's road manners, composed ride quality, and the confidence that comes with AWD in variable conditions. For buyers in Yakima County who want a practical, all-season commuter that won't constantly demand expensive repairs, the Legacy is a smart shortlist candidate.
