2010 Subaru Legacy at St J Auto When choosing what to drive, make sure it's something that drives you. A new hobby. A new favorite drive. A new way to engage with life every day. Subaru vehicles are uniquely designed and equipped to get you out, to connect you to the road, and to inspire you to embrace more of life's opportunities. It all starts with the balance of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Standard on every Subaru, it gives you the stability and control to drive where you want, when you want, always with the greatest confidence. That poise is matched with the reassurance of being protected by award-winning safety. It's why we hear again and again, "I love my Subaru." Love. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
In any driving environment, control of your vehicle comes from one place, where your tires meet the road. Rough or smooth. Curves or straight-aways. A sure grip of the road can give you the control to step around danger, and the engagement to find exhilaration in every strip of asphalt. Subaru has spent nearly 40 years developing a system for traction and control that employs an almost perfectly symmetrical layout to maximize power delivery to the wheels, and to create balance and stability that can heighten your enjoyment of every experience you have behind the wheel.

Better Balance
Every Subaru is built for AWD from the ground up. Each one features a longitudinally mounted engine that feeds power to the all-wheel drive system in a straight line. Which results in a balanced drive train with almost total side-to-side symmetry that is free of the extra components some other systems need to route power. This symmetry and balance means stability that helps make driving your Subaru safer and agility that makes it more fun.

Efficient Design
Because some systems lack the simplicity of Subaru Symmetrical AWD, they not only sacrifice efficiency, but also can incur more wear and tear. Subaru routes power directly from the engine to all four wheels to keep components and frictional power losses to a minimum. All while maximizing the seamless feeling of traction whenever you need it.

Quicker Response
There are only four small patches of rubber that keep you in control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the more control you have. Subaru Symmetrical AWD keeps power routed to all four tires all the time, so it doesn't have to react to slippage that has already occurred. Rather, it keeps your tires as fully engaged with the road as possible.

Your Cabin
The interior of the all-new Legacy has been completely redesigned to give every passenger more room. Hip room in the front, legroom in the back, and head room all around have seen generous enhancements for greater comfort. You?ll also find features and design that make this space more purposeful and rewarding than ever. Opt for the 440-watt, 9-speaker harman/kardon premium audio system - with Bluetooth hands-free calling standard - and immerse yourself in your music
with its stunning clarity. And with the newly available voice-activated navigation system, you can program destinations and find points of interest with spoken commands. This totally new navigation system also features upgraded Bluetooth capability to include streaming audio.

Horizontally Opposed Design
The pistons move in 180-degree opposition to each other on a horizontal plane, so each naturally cancels out the vibration of the piston opposite it.

Durable Design
The engine's flat design is inherently rigid, and reduces the amount of vibration that "V" or inline engines, with more upright pistons, are subjected to during operation.

Lower Center of Gravity
The flatter profile and perfectly symmetrical design of the engine block, and the fact that it sits lower in the chassis, make the overall vehicle more stably balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion than other designs.

Horizontally Opposed Design
The pistons move in 180-degree opposition to each other on a horizontal plane, so each naturally cancels out the vibration of the piston opposite it.

Smoother Operation
Step on the accelerator and the revs come on smooth. While there's plenty of power when you need it, it never compromises your comfort or control.

Increased Reliability
An engine subjected to less vibration lasts longer. It's no wonder 94% of Subaru vehicles built in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

Greater Agility
The vehicle responds more quickly to changes in direction, which gives a feeling of tightness in turns. And it's less likely to become unstable during maneuvers, giving you an increased feeling of being in control at all times.

Subaru Boxer Engine
We think about engines a little differently. We believe an engine should deliver both power and control. That way, it performs as well in rush-hour traffic as it does on a winding road. That?s why every Subaru is powered by the SUBARU BOXER® engine. Its horizontally opposed design and symmetrical layout provide powerful, yet smooth acceleration, but also give drivers balance and stability that set it apart from engines with a "V" or inline configuration. It's an insightful difference that has the power to make driving more engaging.
