I picked up a 2008 Subaru Liberty (Australian Legacy) 3.0R a few months back with the flat 6. It drives like it's on rails and just takes off like a rocket at any speed. What a car!
This owner mods stuff *EXACTLY* how I like to mod. All about handling and daily userability. No stupid interior mods, striping it out, stancing, far cannon exhaust, ratting, stupid dangling thing on a OTT tow hook. Instead, making it useable, comfortable and tasteful. Like as if it was a factory performance option(s). Stealth modding FTW.
@@emmareporter4324 literally switch the muffler to a flowmaster dbs and that is it. You want to leave the rest of it stock because of drone. Also engines dont handle mods well prior to tuning.
The Spec B is essentially the "STi" Legacy, where the GT is the Legacy "WRX" for the USDM. The legacy was the "grown up" version of the Impreza; so no big spoilers, a more comfortable ride while still being relatively quick and handling relatively well. Fun fact, the chassis of the WRX shown in this video is based on this gen legacy.
The legacy was the original impreza, it used to be subarus small quick sporty model. When the impreza came along and filled that slot, the legacy turned into a more gentle, smooth daily driver that still had some of the sporty left in it. I drive an N/A 2010 legacy 2.5i and, while it certainly isnt the fastest car in the road, it still has a bit of power and sport hidden under its "mom car" appearance. Bringing it on the highway, putting it in manual mode and climbing the tac is where its inner impreza comes out.
@Methamphetameme in VT, finding any subaru without storage places for cocaine in the frame and rockers is impossible. I have a imoreza and a project wrx, but may sell them both if ibfind a clean legacy like this, in good shape. Brilliant car. You lucky shit.
"All of the go and none of the bro." I've always loved the legacy's from 05-09 because of that. Nice looking sedan, fun to drive, doesn't draw too much attention
As an Impreza owner of the same year (2008), I wholeheartedly agree. I'd have gone for a Legacy if I could have found one I could afford, but I'm still happy with my Impreza (even if it doesn't look at good). Legacy wagons of that generation were especially nice looking. Shame we're not going to get the Levorg any time soon (if ever).
as it is the legacy is more for the "adult" sense where as the wrx and Sti are for the more "boyracer" I love the in your faceness of the Sti then again I'm 22 maybe when I'm older I'll grow outta that.
Yemi Joel I'm 25 and I drive a T5 volvo lol. I like the sleeper factor of it because NO one tries to race. Doesn't draw any attention from cops either, but every single person I've given a ride in it has been impressed. But my car is really about comfort and reliability more than going fast. If I wanna go fast, I have bikes for that
Ya really it is... my fiance and I bought a 2014 hatch for her when the 2015 first came out and we test drove some which I came out of feeling like it was just a regular car unlike my 05 sti at all. I do think that the fa motor in the new wrx is much better than the ej is though.
Mr. Regular always hits the nail on the head with the typical Suba-Bro references. Here is a real life example of one I encountered several years ago. Once upon a time, I was pulling into a gas station in my new-to-me Acura Integra. It was the first car I ever saved up for and bought myself, and I was very proud of it. It was very clean for the age and price I paid. But I digress. As I was pulling in, an acquaintance of mine whom I knew from some car meets flagged me down and I pulled in to chat. He was with a friend of his whom I did not recognize, let's call him Bro-skee. Bro-skee was driving a Subaru STI, the hatch one. Of course, since we are car people, we started speaking in car speak. My acquaintance started asking me about my new car and exclaimed that he liked it. Us talking about another person's car must have upset Bro-skee, because he quickly interjected. Bro-skee proceeded to start talking up his STI like it was the second coming of Jesus. He said his STI could pull away from my Integra at half throttle, and essentially that my car is nothing compared to his. He literally insulted my car right in front of my face. All of this without ANY advances on my part. I like Subarus. I've always been interested in owning one, but now whenever I stop and think about getting one, I think of this interaction.
Don’t let one interaction change your view on Subaru owners! You always get one in the pack that is like this.. I always complement anyones build if I don’t like something I would say but not go to the length of disowning the person car.. you get that with everyone car fan boy that think there car model is the best.. any real car enthusiast appreciates all cars with there pros and cons
Man that flip-up license plate thing is probably the coolest thing I've seen on this channel in a while. It seems so illegal but so awesome at the same time!
The 4th Gen Legacy design was so near perfect that even the Outback wagon had a great stance and lean to it. By far my favorite gen. of Legacy. I shall not speak to what Subaru has done to them since.
When I bought my STI in 2007, one of these was sitting inside the dealership. I gave it a longggggggg lookover. Good looking, quick, more refined. Big fan.
my mazda3 is one so immediately everyone thinks its a sports car lmao. like no, its a 155 horse bone stock mazda 3, i just happen to know what im doing
More of the fine work we love from the best car reviewer on the web. Keep up the good work Mr. Regular, your the best distraction we have in these uncertain times.
Mattalot Now I want a spec B and not a SHO Some people look at the sho the same way "Ehhh big family sedan can't doing anything...for sure win" 30 sec later How did I lose to a family sedan I need this car, fast and fun, but doesn't draw attention.
Thats my EXACT reasoning Jon, at tbh i love the look of the wagon :3 Im checking it over on Thursday, both me and the seller have agreed on a price. So fingers crossed it runs as well as he says and we finalise.... #FirstCarGoals
it's called a Subaru Legacy. They are like the most popular subaru car in New Zealand. Here, most are automatic, and the station wagon version from the 90s is the most popular.
There is also a BL5/BP5 2.0 GT Spec. B, sold in Japan between 2003 and 2008 and (briefly) Australasia. At 276hp in Japanese spec, it had more power than either the H6 or the 2.5 (and a twin-scroll turbo).
Subaru's in my opinion aren't the prettiest things in the world, but they're so rare outside of Japan it feels like an occasion when you see one passing by. Anyways, just wanted to say that, now on to the video. To all the random people of the internet, thanks for reading, a good day to you ^^
I've been patiently waiting for this review ever since I watched "Getting to Know Regular Car Reviews" sooooo happy now especially since I love these things
Car culture in America is so unbelievably strange. This likely speaks to a larger issue concerning how we're socialized as men in America in regards to competitiveness, ego, and this need to be seen. Think about all of the negative connotations with Subaru. Now imagine a lineup of performance sedans without the "bro." It's hard not to appreciate them.
Bro: WRX EVO G8 GT Charger R/T Mazdaspeed 6 Mazdaspeed 3 Focus RS Any AMG Sedan M3 (E36) Not Bro: Legacy Spec.B Corolla XRs Matrix XRs 323 GTX Taurus SHO M5 M3 There are a few that are hard to call, mainly in the realm of Bentley and Maserati.
The legacy (of this generation) is already a seriously underrated car. I've wanted one for a while now. Much much more comfortable than a sti. Still sti capable, and blends in with traffic like every other Accord and Altima. But this spec b is a unicorn of a car. Great video
This is the nicest Subaru ever made, IMO. I got to drive one of these on a dealer trade when I worked at a Subie dealer in like '07. Definitely was a nice ride.
So Regular Cars posts a video testing Gears and Gasolines Spec. B and Cold Fusion comments talking about their Subaru experience. What a gathering of TH-cam greats!
2007 Spec B here, love it! I get asked more often than any car I've had if I want to sell it. Love the sound, look, leg room, and how it drives. Great video...
When I looked on the comments of the Gears and Gasoline video of the motorized license plate thing,some dudes were talking shit about this Spec B. I'm still salty about it tbh because the Spec B is a damn good car .
Maybe? Or maybe RCR just wants a better car. Silicone sally was just a $5,000 used car he bought years ago when he first kicked this show off. I think he deserves an "upgrade".
actually he bought sally when he totaled his pride and joy, a 2002 Toyota Echo. First car bought FOR the show, with patreon money, but the show started with him using the echo.
You don't think the Spec B has any amenities? There was only one way to get the Spec B and that was absolutely loaded with every option the legacy had.
byalexandr I find it funny that even though I daily a 2.5i sedan from the same gen, I still catch myself staring at it. it's properly understated but manages to look so good in person.
DustinB855 i daily a lgt and I don't regret it. I'm also enjoying the extra 10 grand i saved not getting a hawk eye. i actually just moved out of my apartment with just the lgt and a Nissan versa the extra space helps too. :D
CrazyIvan1337 Lol, would love to own one, but unfortunately I just have a normal Subaru Legacy Wagon. It's a gen 2, and I think the gen 2 GT-B is just an awesome car.
Aw, darn. That's still cool though, the 2nd and 4th gen Legacys are subjectively the best looking of them all. Unfortunately there aren't any videos of mine on my channel, but I'd like to clean it up one day and do a little review/walkaround of it soon. There's an older picture of it on my G+ profile though! lol
1) As an automotive enthusiast, specifically JDM, more geared towards Yota's than anything, the WRX is NOTHING like a Corolla. Way off base. 2) LOVE the fact that you pick this over an Focus RS. I would too. 3) That plate is awesome.
Loved my 2008 legacy. It looks nicer than the newer models in my opinion. I just recently replaced it with a Subaru crosstrek hybrid touring. The electric motor really is only good for the little torque you get out of it. It does noticeably drive different than a gas only version of the car.
1996-1998 Subaru Legacy GT-B and GT-B Limited. Pretty much the same cars just ten years older (you wouldn't think it, they were ahead of their time) just with a 2.0, 5 speed and twin turbos, which can be swapped to single relatively easily. A great all-round car and one of the most underappreciated cars ever.
Thanks for this! There is one around me and I have always wondered what the heck it is. It sounds different than a normal Legacy and I have seen it accelerate. I wish they would do more stuff like this. The STI is cool and all, but the shopping cart and handle rear spoiler + STI badges need to go. It may even be the best car for the money in its class, but really turns off a lot of buyers because of the stupid looks. They look goofy next to other cars in that price range parked outside of your office/plant; folks over 28 with decent jobs are not the type of people who try to attract a potential mate with a larger spoiler. STIs are totally geared toward the wrong market and they could easily fix this by making a sleek car, but charge a few thousand more for an appearance package.
I picked up a 2008 Subaru Liberty (Australian Legacy) 3.0R a few months back with the flat 6. It drives like it's on rails and just takes off like a rocket at any speed. What a car!

I want an sti hatch, but I don't want to be associated with that breed of degenerate
This is really just fanboyism, though. It afflicts all major sects of cardom

Man that flip-up license plate thing is probably the coolest thing I've seen on this channel in a while. It seems so illegal but so awesome at the same time!
I really like this car now, I wasn't a big fan of it before but the way the owner has modified it makes it very intriguing. Great review as always.
I literally just read that in your voice... Help.
I'm just interested in doing that front plate flip out.

Should have grabbed the spec b lol. I’ll never sell mine.
If this car were a person, it would be a bodybuilder that looks fat by wearing a shirt. This car oddly reminds me of the defunct Passat W8.
Except the Spec B has a much better coolness factor, doesn't need worked on as often and doesn't need a Specialty Mechanic.

and you CANNOT park it and not worry about it. Especially in south Auckland :D

Eh, Papakura isnt so bad, but Otara ....haha
Is the GTB considered B spec? mine is 2 liter, turbo Bilstien suspension, a few other bits and pieces, the papers say its a GTB but either way..
I believe Spec.B was US only, and used a 2.5 block.
It's actually one of the best looking cars I've seen
My uncle had a spec b. I am in love with this car.
Oh wait, the swiss Spec B. had a 3.0 NA, not a 2.5 Turbo.
There are 2 Spec.B versions the H6 N/A and 2.5 Turbo.

In Australia we had a tuned by STI version. I had one and I freaking loved it. so comfortable on long drives and amazing in the mountains.
Is Silicone Sally dying? Is that why you might become a Subaru owner?
The Freshman! - Because PA winters.
Because it's the right thing to do.
Maybe? Or maybe RCR just wants a better car. Silicone sally was just a $5,000 used car he bought years ago when he first kicked this show off. I think he deserves an "upgrade".
He said on Twitter that he didn't have enough room for his camera equipment.
actually he bought sally when he totaled his pride and joy, a 2002 Toyota Echo. First car bought FOR the show, with patreon money, but the show started with him using the echo.
This is one of the coolest regular cars that has ever been on here IMO. What a tastefully modified suby!

yeah, plus the sticker and the virginia front plate with the flip mechanism thing

byalexandr I find it funny that even though I daily a 2.5i sedan from the same gen, I still catch myself staring at it. it's properly understated but manages to look so good in person.
byalexandr the standard legacy gt is just as fun. And waaaaay cheaper
Ghos7 Eye but u don't get the sti goodies but yes the 2.5 gt is a nice car would love to get one as a daily
DustinB855 i daily a lgt and I don't regret it. I'm also enjoying the extra 10 grand i saved not getting a hawk eye. i actually just moved out of my apartment with just the lgt and a Nissan versa the extra space helps too. :D
Ghos7 Eye nice ya I would keep my gt stock if I got one then just continue to mod my 15 wrx
I occasionally come back to this video years later just to show people info about my spec B. Funny enough, I own this specific car!
Manual boxes definitely bring out the bro in some people. I saw a Mazda 121 do a burnout on a car park speed bump a couple days ago. I laughed, a lot.

Aw, darn. That's still cool though, the 2nd and 4th gen Legacys are subjectively the best looking of them all. Unfortunately there aren't any videos of mine on my channel, but I'd like to clean it up one day and do a little review/walkaround of it soon. There's an older picture of it on my G+ profile though! lol
Yes, it did. It no longer does though.
Yes it does. They show the name of the owner in the beginning.
I watch a lot of car review channels and this is my new fave haha
Can you review a Pontiac Solstice (whatever year is the latest)? I want to know your thoughts on that attempt to make a sporty roadster.
Roman knocked it out of the park this week with the music, keep up the good work RCR.
"It's TOO HARD!" said no woman EVER. :D
This is by far the greatest video I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Spec B is hella expensive in europe
Beautifully written and spot on as usual guys. Great job.
lmao the Russian annotation.

What a birthday present! I own the 3.0L non-turbo version of this and the video came out on my birthday.
PLATE GOES OUT. PLATE GOES IN. PLATE GOES OUT. PLATE GOES IN.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
But...the STi is offered as a sedan...
theshonen8899
only Americans have a hang up about hatchbacks.
Yea, I think he meant sedan like an accord/camry since the STis used to be small.
It's Ben from gears and gasoline!
Cool to see him here!
BTW he sold it for a mazda rx7 lol so much for keeping it forever.
Gears and Gasoline anyone? lol
Danteofsparda2237 me!
me!
Gears and Gasoline wow, hi guys! love your vids :D
I think this is some of RCR's best work, especially the ending. There's so much attention to detail!
Wait is that guy from gears and gasoline?
1) As an automotive enthusiast, specifically JDM, more geared towards Yota's than anything, the WRX is NOTHING like a Corolla. Way off base.
2) LOVE the fact that you pick this over an Focus RS. I would too.
3) That plate is awesome.
"as reassuring as Patton Oswalt's voice" lol
".... his desire to start a TRIUMVIRATE"
You owe me a new monitor Mr. Regular. It's a Dell Ultrasharp U2415
The UK 'R spec.B' has Auto gearboxes and manuals AND wagon variants.
its kinda neat seeing youre 5 minutes from my house in this video while reviewing a car ive wanted for so long. all signs point towards buy one.
someone hit my spec b today in a hit in run...
awesome
shut the fuck up that's mean to say awesome
thentantt Was it a Mustang?
Brian Brian no clue. didn't see. happened while I was inside at a friend's place.
so sorry man. someone did the same to my Subaru Brat last month. fucking VW golf.
Loved my 2008 legacy. It looks nicer than the newer models in my opinion. I just recently replaced it with a Subaru crosstrek hybrid touring.
The electric motor really is only good for the little torque you get out of it. It does noticeably drive different than a gas only version of the car.
OHHHHHH ITSA SUBBBBBBBBBERUUUUUUUUUUU
IMPOSSSIBRUUUUUUUU
OOOOOHHHHHHH YOOOOOOUUUUUUUU RIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEE SUBBBERRRRRRRRUUUUUU????????
4 WHEEEELLLL DOWWWIFFFUUUTARUUUUUUUUUUU
Mr. Regular, back in rare form. The Spec B was one of the last great Subarus sold in the USA.
I really want a spec b wagon. I'm not even sure they made the spec b in wagon form.
they did~
they did
Shawn Burnham They did but it was never sold in the United States.
Martin Skoda nice man, I got a 2001 GT-B with the same twin turbo, it's been great, with a $5k entry price, they are incredible bang for buck
97I30T it was never sold in Canada either, you guys just have to ease up on your stingy Mercedes-induced importation policy
Tetris metaphors were on point this week RCR. Nice review!
symmetrical TIRE DESTRUCTION
Had a shitty day at work today and now it's all better, thank you Mr Regular for making my shitty Monday better.
PLEASE review my 2002 WRX wagon with automatic transmission. Its also a stage 2, and its an automatic. By the way its an automatic.
I've seen this video probably more than 3 times, just realizing that this is BEN.
I could really go for a Wawa turkey, stuffing and gravy sub right now...
Nice to see G&G reciprocating with you guys.
the sti is a sedan isn't it?
Bryan Morrison ok imagine this like a legacy B4, but an sti. but yes the impreza sti is a sedan
Am I the only one that recognized the owned of this SpecB as one of the guys from Gears & Gasoline? :D
3:50 Lord Vader?
1996-1998 Subaru Legacy GT-B and GT-B Limited. Pretty much the same cars just ten years older (you wouldn't think it, they were ahead of their time) just with a 2.0, 5 speed and twin turbos, which can be swapped to single relatively easily. A great all-round car and one of the most underappreciated cars ever.
do a 1995 Honda accord
Sleepers for the win! Love this Legacy. And I'm a Evo owner
*Vape*
That was outro had some sick harmony, Roman. Do more like it please!
is it me
nope
Thanks for this! There is one around me and I have always wondered what the heck it is. It sounds different than a normal Legacy and I have seen it accelerate.
I wish they would do more stuff like this. The STI is cool and all, but the shopping cart and handle rear spoiler + STI badges need to go. It may even be the best car for the money in its class, but really turns off a lot of buyers because of the stupid looks. They look goofy next to other cars in that price range parked outside of your office/plant; folks over 28 with decent jobs are not the type of people who try to attract a potential mate with a larger spoiler. STIs are totally geared toward the wrong market and they could easily fix this by making a sleek car, but charge a few thousand more for an appearance package.
RCR and JonTron upload on the same day. Today is a good day.
Your voice gives me flashbacks. And is relaxing.
