Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Legacy than the BMW 330, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW 330, drivers may find the Subaru Legacy a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
With the Subaru Legacy you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the BMW 330, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). The BMW 330 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Subaru Legacy, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW 330 is about the same width as the Subaru Legacy. The BMW 330 is slightly shorter than the Subaru Legacy, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW 330 has about the same turning radius as the Subaru Legacy, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 330 has a much more powerful engine than the Subaru Legacy. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
