    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!

    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.

    • @mingusog7036
      @mingusog7036 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      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.

    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.

    • @powermatt
      @powermatt 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      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).

    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.

    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
