The Subaru Liberty, sold as the Legacy everywhere except Australia and a few other markets, has sat in the mid-size sedan segment for decades without making the kind of noise its competitors do. The standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, the horizontally opposed engine, and the competitive pricing are its arguments. The 2019 model continues that formula without a dramatic reinvention.
Simone reviews the Liberty with the kind of attention that this car rarely gets from the mainstream press. She looks at ride quality on Australian roads, the interior space, and whether the AWD system changes anything meaningful for buyers who mostly drive in rain and on country roads rather than snowfields. The Liberty competes with the Toyota Camry, Mazda 6, and Hyundai Sonata in a segment that is getting harder to justify as SUVs absorb more buyers every year.
The Liberty is for the sedan buyer who wants all-wheel drive standard and is not interested in paying European prices for it. If you have moved on to SUVs, this review probably will not pull you back. If you have not, it is worth a look. The full review is on the CarTell.tv YouTube channel above.
