Hahahah the ez30 was a thirsty one. I think that with direct injection and an 8 speed transmission it would have been improved. Maybe turbo as well. A beautiful smooth balanced and great sounding engine
@@The.JZA. I believe the gears are longer in sport mode according to my manual mate, but full power isn't until you get passed 5.5k or so due to the AVCS kicking in so it's not a bad thing to hold on a bit longer. You should be able to get just passed 100Kph in 2nd if Subaru are to be believed. I'm not sure if that changes with traction control off.
Rok Gok Hi, sport mode doesn’t make the gears longer, it just makes the car hold onto gears longer but if you’re putting your foot down then it doesn’t make a difference as it will hold the gear to the top anyway. Also the AVCS is continuously adjusted, it doesn’t just kick in at a specific RPM. The VVL does kick in but it’s at 2000-4000rpm depending on how much throttle you’re giving it.
@@The.JZA. Yea, longer gearing would be holding them longer in the rev range, not physically making the gear longer, unless it was a fake shift CVT! 4.2K is maximum torque around 6.6K is max BHP, so the sports mode holds on longer to make use of both, if you are shifting earlier you would not make use of all the horsepower, but you could keep it in the peak torque range. The gate to Sport mode on the R and R-spec B auto box should have manual shift also. Foot down in non sport mode would shift when economical, not speediest usually.
Rok Gok Sorry mate you’re wrong. It doesn’t matter if you’re in ECO, Drive or Sport; if you floor it it’ll rev out to the ~6800rpm and there’s no difference in speed/acceleration. All sport mode does is make the gearbox hold gear longer under normal driving conditions (I.e. not full throttle) and shifts down more readily when you touch the throttle. The opposite is true for ECO mode. Also nobody describes holding a gear for longer as “longer gearing” it’s just holding the gear.
Which year model is this? That long gearing seems to indicate a 4 speed auto instead of the 5 speed auto of later gen 3.0R's of the mid 2000's and up. Still moves well.
+Peter Ivanov The front bushings and CV boots need to be replaced about every 70,000km so look out for that. Other than that they're pretty damn reliable. They have a cam chain so no need to change the cam belt until 200,000km although I think you still need to change the alternator/water pump belt at 100,000km. Good luck! :)
indysek1 Its a Japanese import. It's better that way I reckon because most of my driving is between 0-110km/h so it's easier to read and more accurate. It can do ~240km/h but I don't think I'll ever do that unless I'm on a race track with very good tyres haha
Mine has the same, only goes to 180 but the needle keeps climbing way past that and goes right down over the trip meter. But you dont drive that fast often enough to need the 260km one, even for occasional track days
(Sorry, i don't speak English, i'm from Russia) Это комплектация для японского рынка, где по закону нельзя продавать авто, которые едут быстрее 180 км/ч. Поэтому спидометр размечен соответствующе и максималка может быть электронно ограничена на 180 км/ч (по крайней мере, так было на автомобилях Toyota). Но перепрошивка ЭБУ позволяет это ограничение убрать
Flat 6. Not the same. Both are 6 cylinders but a V6 has the cylinders in a V shape while the flat 6 has the cylinders lying down flat each side of the crank shaft. Flat 6 has some advantages, specifically when it comes to having a lower center of mass so it can improve handling whereas V6 are a bit more compact and are easier to fit into the engine bay.
Haha yeah it’s only about 7 seconds 0-100. I have a 2013 Audi S4 now with a supercharged V6 and a 7 speed dual clutch and I’m picking up a 2017 Audi S4 soon. Both of those will leave an A3 in the dust in a straight line and will be out of sight on a windy road.
Fuel light. Top speed runs to petrol station ...hahaha the life with a scooby
It's lighter when you have less fuel ;)

@@santouchesantouche2873 Aren't all Subaru engines very thirsty? I haven't found a single one that isn't.
@kristoffer3000 Yeah, I tend to agree. I think the cvt they have now mitigates it a bit.
I have the same car with a 6spd manual. Import as well. Amazing fast and im straightpiped with reso delete. Sounds beast too
Yeah I have on to. I just bought Mia and it's quick considering it's a stock small 3 litre 6 cylinder car !
I have an auto 3.0r and did res and muff deletes... Sounds as close to a Porsche as I'm gonna get for now...lol
@@93tegDA when its too loud it can be annoying°°
Mine is properly loud.... My wrx was the same way... Come to think of it all my car I make loud..loo
Getting rid of the resonators/cats makes it sound raspy and awful, especially with Raptor headers, wouldn't reccomend
Legend has it that the petrol is the car never got fulled up
Its Eco =D
That is some long gearing! Nice sound
energymc22 Yeah, some shorter gearing would be nice!

I got exactly the same car
Fabulous!!
Sounds good
目測7～8秒程度かな
普段使いの加速としては十分早い
音もいいし乗ってて楽しそう
I don’t speak Japanese but thanks for the comment!
低速スカスカらしいんすよ
でもフラット6はロマンだよねぇ😊
здорова ебать
@@ケンバウォーカーIt's not a flat 6 it's 4 cylinder boxer engine...
No it is a flat 6. It’s a 3.0R. Google it.
Which year model is this? That long gearing seems to indicate a 4 speed auto instead of the 5 speed auto of later gen 3.0R's of the mid 2000's and up. Still moves well.
It’s a 2005. The 4 and 5 speed gearing is pretty much identical except that the 5 speed has a cruising gear (5th) for fuel economy.
Why is my SPORT in the display red??
I am thinking of getting one 3.0H6 :) ! Do they have some common problem, something to look for when buying? Thank you! :)

@@The.JZA. The water pump is driven by the chain.
@@multi21racing Agreed, the water pump is chain driven, not from the belt.
This Beast got too much Pestro =))
is this the 4sp auto or 5eat?
gears are so longg
This is the 5 speed. Yeah I agree they are very long.
I have 406hp 1997 Legacy
0-170=4,673
Nice bro, that must be fun to drive. I have an Audi S4 now. 333hp 0-100 in about 5 seconds. If you believe the magazines they’ll say 4.4s.
@@The.JZA. Ok☺☺☺
How is your speedometer ends in 180 km/h ? There is usually 260! What market is it for?

I think it is because Japanese market cars are usually limited to 180 km/h

What transmission is built in?
It's a 5 speed automatic.
0-100 times?
About 7-7.2 seconds bro
Thank you
Low fuel level for the least amount of weight possible
Who would like too buy one
when you find out i got one for sale.. im in ny
後期の3.0Rでは、回してもこんな音しません。確かにカムが乗る瞬間はわかるのですが、大人しくなったというか。カムのプロフィールが変わり、排ガスレベルもワンランク上がり、燃費が良くなった分、エンジンは回らなくなりました。
EZ30Rのエンジンフィールを楽しむなら、断然前期がおすすめですね。
Is that traction control off if so how did u do it
Reubens bike life Yes the TC is off. There’s a button below the steering wheel to the left or right depending on which side of the road you drive on.
Its just on 3.0 My 2.0/2006 doesn‘t have it
