I stalled the factory Legacy on my Demo ride.
It was when it was 200HP turbo normalized at approx 5000AGL.
Grant, the demo pilot was in the left seat.
 For the demo, power on and takeoff configuration.
 It was hard to do, the plane just wants to climb. It is difficult
 to imagine getting into this in a "typical" departure as the deck angle was
 extreme. Grant started backing off the power, I was having
 trouble scanning from the right seat (the ball, altitude and airspeed)
 so I was distracted.
 The right wing dropped and the plane rolled so ground
 filled at least my half of the canopy. Either Grant recovered or it did not take
 much because I don't remember doing much except neutralizing
 the stick and thinking about the rudder (Grant pulled the power back). 
 Seems like we picked up speed and flew out of it.Anyway there was very
 little altitude lost. I recall thinking there is little incentive to keep
 pulling back on the stick when you are sideways. 
 It did not seem scary but was different from my 182.
 I would/will do it again, from the left seat and my hand on the 
 throttle would be more of a learning experience. All I have to do
 is the simply finish the airplane.
