Comparison Review

Comfort
The Subaru Legacy offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Toyota Crown with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Subaru Legacy will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Crown.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Subaru Legacy as you will with the Toyota Crown, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Subaru Legacy is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Crown.

Dimensions
The Subaru Legacy is about the same width as the Toyota Crown. The Subaru Legacy is slightly shorter than the Toyota Crown, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Subaru Legacy has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Crown, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Legacy is significantly less powerful than the Toyota Crown. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Subaru Legacy transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Toyota Crown.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Subaru Legacy and the Toyota Crown.
