The legacy has a 2.5L Naturally Aspirated FB25 motor with 170hp on the Legacy platform, which is shared with the Outback. It also has an optional 3.6L 6-Cylinder option with 256hp for those who need some extra power. It's a full size sedan with many creature comforts. It comes in 6 speed manual (rare) or a Linetronic CVT Automatic.

The WRX traditionally has been based on the Impreza platform, shared with WRX, WRX STI, and XV Crosstrek, paired with a either a 2.0L or a 2.5L Turbo EJ20 or EJ25 motor with 227-265hp depending on the year. The latest WRX is completely independent from the Impreza and has a 2.0L FB20 Twin-Scroll Turbo, Direct Injected Motor with 268hp. Most older generations have 5 speed manual transmissions and some have 4 speed automatics, but the new ones are paired with a 6 speed manual or a Linetronic CVT.

The Next Gen Legacy still has a Naturally Aspirated 2.5L FB25. The Legacy is also bigger, longer and a bit heavier but will provide a quieter ride. Basically, one is a borderline luxury sedan the other is a sports car with four doors
