TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Chrysler 200 can fetch a premium for its style and its horsepower--but rear-seat room and handling are better bargains elsewhere.

The 2015 Subaru Legacy smooths over its ruffles, and out-domestics some American family sedans with a big back seat, excellent gas mileage and standard all-wheel drive.

TCC Likes

Smooth, sophisticated look
Stunning interior design, details
All-wheel drive offered on most of the lineup

Sporty, elegant new look
Quieter cabin
Available EyeSight active-safety systems

TCC Dislikes

Rear seat is tightest in the segment
Handling is above average--but only slightly
Gas mileage can't compete with hybrids, plug-ins

Where are the manuals, and the GT?
A look that's evolutionary
With either engine, acceleration is average
