Legacy XT

After I turned 30, I had a mild automotive identity crisis: I sold my WRX, and bought a CVT Legacy.

All joking aside, shortly before our daughter was born, I did reconsider what was important in a daily driver. With time and energy at a premium, I made the tough decision to part ways with the the WRX for something more comfortable, that my wife could drive when needed, and that I wouldn’t be as tempted to mod/dump money into.

I considered a lot of options and traded the WRX in for a 2022 Legacy Touring XT!

I went with the Touring trim primarily for the gorgeous interior, but also because it still offered enough sportiness to keep things interesting.

With the same 2.4L turbo under the hood as the new WRX, it had similar pep with loads more refinement. And I have to admit…not driving stick shift in Milwaukee traffic sure was a nice break for my left leg, especially with a newborn in tow!

Over the two years I owned it, I came to love the Legacy’s unique character. However, my wife and I eventually decided to trade in the Legacy for a bigger family vehicle. I then inherited and daily drove the Outback for a while before picking up my Golf R.
