@@stuartmccloud307 awesome, If I ever need a larger car I'll get a Legacy wagon, right now my '04 WRX sedan suits my needs (and is a blast to drive up here in snowy NH)
Subaru has never made a car with 4WD. You probably just skipped past that detail at the beginning. However really good review of the car. Looks clean for its age. Love powerful wagons!
I have a 2002 GTB Wagon and my wife has a 1996 WRX Wagon so I have driven both quite a bit and they have very feel very different behind the wheel. The Legacy is heavier, a longer wheelbase, better ride but less tossable. The WRX feels smaller, more nimble, the seats have more bolstering. The WRX is rough and ready, the Legacy is a more relaxed cruiser on the highway. The power delivery is different, the twin turbo in the Legacy comes on sooner, just over 2K while the WRX is around 3K. The second turbo on the Legacy comes in around 4.5K and there is a slight drop in torque during transition, so shifting at that engine speed kills boost. The turbos do not switch from the primary to the secondary, the primary is always on, the secondary is just added in at higher engine speed. th-cam.com/video/3PxSzSRZN_8/w-d-xo.html I had mine tuned to run on 91 octane with no other mods. One odd thing, the twin turbos have a redline of 7500 with manual, 7000 with auto? I still see other D series Legacies around but mine has no rust, and it is a wee bit more fun ;)
Wannabe know-it-all here. While it's easy to say it's the same as the STI engine, it's not. The sti has way more power potential or reliability at the same power level, due to different mechanical design. Additionally, the 2 turbos in this car are almost identically sized. The system is designed to spool one completely first, then use the additional exhaust gasses from that to spool the second more quickly than the first did. This gives good linear power off the line. Smaller/larger sequential setups are so big power turbos can spool like medium power single turbos. It's all a kind of force multiplication.
gen.3 Legacy GTB/RSK has the prettiest (n very functional support-wise) front seats of all time of all cars..dot!..(semi-artificial-leather or cloth - doesn't matter).
You theoretically could. I had a friend from Quebec who's dad gave him a 2007 Acura CSX (A Canada-only version of the Honda Civic), even though it was never sold in the USA he had no trouble registering it because its basically a Civic with different badging
@@jaylynzakikhani4223 Once the car clears Canadian customs its considered a Canadian car, and usually Canada-US import/export is a lot easier.

Scoobies rust like a mofo. In the 3rd Gen Legacies, like that, rust in the rear quarter and in the door jambs. My 4th gen was the first that didn't rust in those spots. Sweet car nonetheless. Too bad that we in the US need to wait 10 more years to be able to legally import one.
Yep, rust exactly there is why I had to get rid of my 04 Outback - wouldn’t pass inspection due to too much rust. Got an 09 (USDM) Spec B to replace it. Here’s hoping it doesn’t rust like the Outback did, I loved that car!
@@DarkPhoenixTSi I'm into my second engine in the Spec B already, first one decided to spin a rod bearing on stock tune. Who knows what the previous owner was up to? Should be out of the woods on engine issues for a bit either way, and I'm washing this thing often in the NYS winters to keep it as salt-free as I can. Here's hoping!
Really? May be it depends where you live and where the actual car was manufactured? I have a 22 year old Forester and it has less rust than a 5 year old Mazda. In fact I barely have any rust -)
Engine wise, In North America, Turbos are the only thing hard to source. Will probably be forced to get China replacements or do a single turbo conversion. Power steering rack will have to come from a 2nd gen postal wagon. Otherwise, the rest are normal Subaru parts, just in physically different locations. Interior and exterior is pretty much non existent for OE replacement. Will have to bodge in SOA manufactured components.
The two cars I've ever owned were both more than 10 years old, my 2004 WRX (current car) is doing great, and my 1999 Jetta base (first car) lasted 16 years under the care of my dad and then it lasted up until 1 year ago (Christmas 2017) when I had it. It was the definition of a beater car, although I was attached to it because of all the family memories + it being my first car. Eventually it just got too old and expensive to maintain, and I was a bit hard on its clutch because I was a newbie driver
new cars are horrible, sure they're more luxurious and comfortable but me personally i would trade all that just to have a car that's works. a car that lets me change the radio while driving a car that if my battery dies i can still open any door because i have a key not to mention the fact that's they almost never have annoying seat bells chimes or door chimes or any beeps what's so ever. i hate when a car drives you it should be you that drives the car, you know.
This car is basically like a WRX that grew up, stopped smoking weed, got a suit and a job.
Hahaha
And started taking testosterone instead
Bought one 15 years ago. Still love it and drive every day. Pulls my boat and has never got stuck in snow or mud when everyone else does.

Derek and Legacies... This is what a love story looks like.
Always loved a performance wagon. Practicality combined with a little fun makes a great road trip car.
i cant wait till these are legal for the US.
Joshua you don’t want one. I’ve had one and they are more headaches than they are worth .
in ten years it will be even worse.
blue color +100hp 😉
Wow, what a lucky new owner. Thanks for sharing this car is amazing!!!
It's always a good day when Derek posts a new video.

Very nice Legay wagon. :D
I spot a Dihatsu Mira van in the background, I hope that one is going on the channel.
Just like Derek, I love me a fast wagon!!
already liked and the video hasn't started

Nice article bro..my dream wagon
Zenki 1998.5 - 2001.5
Kouki 2001.5 - 2003.5
15 years you guys are lucky, we get 7 and the government almost changed it to only 5 years old cars to get in the country

These blow up in Alberta all the time

Can you tell us which high school the buyer goes to so we know what area to avoid?
5:10 I see the kei car box car there
I have a 2000 but just swapped e tune front on to it
I love mine. I've got a rev-d s-edition in world rally blue on bbs rg345's.
Bought it inJanuary? If so, that was a nice one!
@@kyleh6802 no, bought mine in March last year from a private seller on UkLegacy, it's a high miler but is still in good nick
If only I lived in a RHD country I'd really be looking for an import sooner. Better to learn to drive on a LHD though.
So when they go to Canada, do they arrive at Vancouver? Or maybe Halifax?
Your choice!

@@NazbolCaliphDonaldaddeenTrump thanks. do you know if you could find out more on this so I could possibly import with you guys?

You can get many of the parts from a 02 wrx

New car costs much more in depreciation than an old car in maintenance!

Wooow
It’s still an old car.
What is your point
Ricky Chiz Bizkit don’t get me wrong, I’m a Subaru fan, however it’s old af. Reliability issues are a problem.
@@benglasby8014 Reliability issues? That's more common in newer models of any car. Older cars already have the problems fixed.
