  • The Legacy birthed Subaru’s best selling vehicle, the Subaru Outback. It was driving rallies before the Impreza WRX and even won with legendary driver, Colin McRae. From its trusted All-Wheel Drive to its sleeper Legacy 2.5 GT Turbo, the Legacy might not be the hottest Subaru in town, but it is Subaru's longest running model. See how the Subaru Legacy forged a whole new road in marketing strategies and set Subaru on the path to success.

    We had a BMW 530 Touring for 13yrs before buying a Subaru Outback in Germany with 165 hrprs from its 2.0l Diesel.
    While it does not have the sublime double glazing, B&W stereo, buffalo leather seats and the straight six scream.
    It does handle very well, in WHATEVER weather, the Diesel is a happy revving diesel, goes quite well when driven fast. It is robust, reliable and spacious.
    I’m 6’4”, my dad is 6’2” and I can sit behind him quite comfortable. I was unable to sit behind him in the 5-series, at first we were in the market for a A8 or BMW 7-series. But my mom objected since we have a rather large dog 😂 we randomly stopped by at a Subaru showroom jokingly going to “buy a rally car” but the car sold itself, it has the legroom of a 7-series ffs, the only other large estate to offer this is the Skoda Superb. ALL other cars of similar size did not get to its level. (We tried them all out in the showrooms, Jaguar XF, Audi A6, BMW 5-series, E-class, Mazda 6 etc.)
    Its great for those 13hr drives to skiing resorts. It goes through 40cm of snow on a decent pair of Micheli tyres. It has a Webasto, to heat it. It has leather seats, seat heating, Cruise control, open roofs and A/C. Plus a fucking manual gearbox. As far as I’m concerned thats all one needs. And a bluetooth connection, also nice. We all enjoy driving and are not keen on all the electronic nannies the competition has. 🤡
    I’m gonna take her over in 2y when they’re gonna buy a Electric car at home, I will drive it until it dies.
    And then I’d like to buy the new model, with the 2,4l Turbo engine, making 270hrsprs. It will be a great sleeper, tearing apart idiots in their Audi A6 or BMW 5-series. It will be great, 1.6tons of Japanese made steel kicking ass in the 3rd lane!
    Also I take it on scoutscamp, dragging all kinds of shit around through the mud.
    Its great

I always wanted a SpecB and I still get excited to this day when I see them around. I had no idea that only about 1500 were sold :( Maybe that's why they don't offer any cool versions of the legacy sedan now.....

    Thanks for posting this video! I moved to Alaska December of 2014 and purchased my first import car a 2012 Subaru Legacy GT w/o a test drive. The dealer picked me up at the airport loaded my family of 4 in it with luggage and we dropped him off at his home! I could not believe how amazing this Sedan handled the snow and any terrain at that. Plus I sent it all the time pushing a inter-cooled turbo, hood scoop, 6-speed manual, AWD, sunroof, heated seats and sizable trunk. We made a another man child and needed more space but that Legacy was legendary and a badass car! Wonder how I can stuff that set-up in a 73-74 AMC Javelin/AMX? HMM..

    It gets decent mpg, like 25 to 28 for the most part, in 2.5L variant. I only paid 5k for it a cpl months ago with 104,000 miles.
    Not what id expect to pay, but for what was available at that price point near me, its the best car for the money because i need awd for where i live for sure. I still need to show up for work no matter weather or anything. No excuses.

    I've got a 2006 legacy gt wagon, almost everyone I take for a rip in say it's wayy faster than it looks, really is a great sleeper

      My 07 GT specB is an auto, lazy and lethargic, but still plenty fast.

    Back when I was fixing cars a regular customer to the shop had a legacy GT. I took it for a test drive after an alignment and decided that I needed to own one. That night I hopped on the internet and saw the price for used ones. It cleared that urge right up.
