Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Legacy than the Volvo S60. The Subaru Legacy will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo S60.

Convenience
The Subaru Legacy will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Volvo S60, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Volvo S60.

Dimensions
Since the Subaru Legacy is much slimmer than the Volvo S60, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Subaru Legacy takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo S60.

Handling
The Subaru Legacy has about the same turning radius as the Volvo S60, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Legacy is significantly less powerful than the Volvo S60. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Subaru Legacy has much less torque than the Volvo S60, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Subaru Legacy and the Volvo S60.
