As much as we like Subaru's all-wheel-drive handling and fuel-efficient engines, cabin tech is always a disappointment, and never more so than with the 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5i we tested. The Legacy model comes in eight different trims, but the 2.5i is the bottom. As such, Subaru offers no factory options for the car--you have to go up a trim level to get a decent audio system, then up another to get navigation. We put it through its driving paces, but found nothing to like in the cabin.
