It's fast. That's all I can say.

Gear ratios are infinite depending on throttle and speed. Since it works like a manual, mpg tends to be better.
Subaru has paddles so you hold it in virtual "gear" without virtual "downshifting".

Yes the legacy is being refreshed.
I actually drove a 2013 legacy while they went and got my forester in Ohio.
I highly recommend both vehicles. Very impressed.
And yes like someone said subaru continues to grow yearly. Great vehicles.
