One of Subaru's strengths is listening.Subaru listens to what Subaru owners and reviewers have to say. That advice is put to good use to make things better. Some critics thought the Legacy’s Bluetooth connectivity and navigation system weren’t up to par in the previous version, so for the next Legacy, Subaru is making some changes.

At the LA Auto Show last month, Subaru highlighted the changes that will be on the way for the Legacy. The new Legacy will have more interior room with a slightly longer body for more back seat comfort and a stepped up interior for a more luxurious feel. The Legacy will also sport a new navigation system that makes it easier to use.

These items may not be the core must-haves for most car shoppers, especially Subaru owners. Subaru owners are often more concerned about practicality and durability than whether it takes a few more moments to use the Bluetooth system. Subaru could have decided to ignore professional car critics’ ideas for the future of the Subaru Legacy and most Subaru owners wouldn’t have even noticed. But that’s not how Subaru works.

Instead, Subaru really cares about making their vehicles the best on the road. While other car makers have to focus on the basics, like the ride of the car, handling, or safety features, Subaru has all that down and can focus on the small touches that make a difference in the experience of driving -- and those small touches add up.

You'll see that attitude throughout Subaru’s lineup of cars, not just the Legacy. Look at the Forester. After critics thought the interior was outdated and slightly too small, Subaru made changes. It’s now the top SUV on the market and has won countless awards with the new redesign. We expect the same of the Legacy. 

Wouldn't you rather work with a company that listens?
