I got invited to a spirited driving event by Car & Driver magazine to test the Legacy, BMW 330i, and some volvo on 3 different tracks setup in a parking lot. The subaru was far better than the other 2, and it cost less. I was really disapointed by the BMW. It felt slow, didn't handle that great, and the quality of the interior was cheap feeling for a car in that price range. I left wondering why I see so many on the road. The only thing I didn't like about the legacy was it's appearance, and a lot of other participants felt the same way.
