I got the 2007 (facelift version) gt spec.B and it’s amazing, it’s nice and luxurious but also sporty at the same time. In my opinion it is the peak of legacy and Subaru itself, it’s just not the same anymore
Fun fact, 2004/5 the BL5 Legacy was awarded sedan of the year. I am lucky to own one - a 2004 Legacy GT Spec B WR Limited (JDM only). It is basically the precusor to the "Tuned by STI" and was the closest thing to what a Legacy STI would be other than the legendary and ultra limited S401 and S402. Although the long ass name is laughable, almost unnecessary, and super "Subaru-esque", it is truly one of the best and most enjoyable daily drivers I think I've ever come across. Thanks for the video Sepp, there is hardly anything on this particular gem of a car, keep it up !
@@carswithseppalso if youd like some nicey interior shots Im gonna do an edit of my girlfriends 04 jdm spec b soon and get some rollers too i can send them your way For future stock photos
@@jayc5470 I've got an 08 Outback XT on the same colour that I'm doing up. Started with stock Bilsteins swap off a Leggy and eventually I want to get a 6-speed swap done.
@@charliedathorne Is yours a manual or auto? I’m looking for a manual one. But it seems the manual SpecB 3.0R wagon seems to only haven been released in the Europe market. Or were they also available in the JDM??
I had an 09 swp spec b with a rare leather spec b interior was a much worse car than my 2005 GT the spec b handled way worse than the 05 and got way worse fuel mileage even with the 6 speed
Been toying around with the idea of selling my 2009 satin white spec b. Let me know if you’re interested. Its also got the rare leather interior, 112k miles body and transmission, and 30k miles on clutch and new engine. Love my car dearly, just looking to get into a newer civic si for the increased full economy mainly.
Nothing like a 08-09 Legacy Spec. B.. STI Trans, R180 LSD Rear Diff..and a 2.5 L engine not like the imported 2.SLOW.. add a VF52 Turbo and you're up to par the the STI's at the time.. Only made for 2 years and for sure will be a classic in the future... Glad I HAVE ONE with JDM bumpers and DAMD Wide Fenders.. Creme a la Creme..
@@carswithsepp Yes currently there’s an 10 year ban in place, unless the vehicle is 10 years or newer it can be imported without any restrictions. In 2021 that vehicle ban was placed base on emissions and to promote hybrid vehicles.
I have a Euro legacy 3.0R facelift with the JDM alloy suspension parts, Bilstein shoks and swaybars + some jdm STI GENOME exhaust. Im calling it the Wanna.B since it is Kind of better (Euro spec. Did not come with the alloy control arms) but still the 5EAT so worse (even when the 3.0 spec.B was availebale with this Transmission.

@@carswithseppthey go for between 6.5k to 15k aud (like 4-10k usd I believe) for a manual 3.0r spec b wagon, so definitely not too bad especially for all the features you get

Thank you, appreciate it very much
100% agree I would assume this guy had 5mil + , keep it up brother 🤙🏼
Great video! I own a 2008 Spec B and love it. It's such a rare car and a sleeper. People that know, know.
You forgot the 3.0r spec b with the 6mt... great car!
This is what I have in the saloon (sedan). Super rare here in the UK and mechanics can never believe how clean it is for its ages

And so what about the 3.0R Spec B manual? I’m driving one since 2 years, and it amazing 😍
I have one too, 6-speed manual saloon
Nice video,i have a 07 legacy Spec B for my first car, that is amazing.Great power and better control.

Heyy I got a 09 spec b too !!
I wish I could get my hands on an European 3.0R Spec B wagon.
Grab an imported. I've got a 3.0r Spec B STI from Japan. The indicator is on the wrong side and afew bits are in Japanese, but worth it!
@@charliedathorne Nice! They are hard to find though..

@@carswithsepp In 2020
@@carswithsepp I live in the Caribbean so it was very easy to import it
