The 2008 Subaru Legacy is one of the safest sedans of any size or price. It has received top five-star results from the federal government in both frontal and side-impact tests, and straight good ratings (the best possible) from the IIHS for frontal, side, and rear impact. Anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and active front head restraints are all included. Electronic stability control isn't available on much of the line, but it's included in the GT Spec.B and 3.0R
