2015 Subaru Legacy: The Car Connection Best Car To Buy 2015

The 2015 Subaru Legacy is feature-packed, polished, secure, and spacious. It's outgrown its niche appeal, while dollar for dollar, it's an irresistible value in today's new-car market. And it's The Car Connection's Best Car To Buy 2015.

The Legacy follows the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2012 Ford Focus, 2013 Ford Fusion, and most recently, the 2014 Subaru Forester as our top pick among the year's entire crop of completely new or redesigned models. Simply put: Of what's new this year, it represents the best value on the market.

We understand that value means something different depending on your own priorities; and to represent most of those priorities, we rank every new model we review in six key categories, to arrive at an Overall Rating that lets you quickly size up which models you should consider.

This year's nominees included the Acura TLX, Ford F-150, Ford Mustang, Honda Fit, Hyundai Genesis, Hyundai Sonata, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Subaru Legacy, and Subaru Outback.

And of all those, the 2015 Legacy is the one that we think you'd be remiss not to include on any value-minded sedan shopping list.
