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
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
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..
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. An oder BH9 legacy with all JDM Spec.B /GTB parts is in my garage aswell
@@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.
@@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
@@Lplaterwrx im after a postface 3.0r manual wagon in diamond gray metallic, only 72 for the australian market and probably 150-200 worldwide main issue is in the past 8 or so momths ive only seen one for sale, it was 4.5 so great price but blown headgaskets and pretty high kms (like 280k i believe), cant even find any for sale on the jap market either so thats unfortunate

Great video! I own a 2008 Spec B and love it. It's such a rare car and a sleeper. People that know, know.
Have an 09 OBP Spec B 1 of 24, with S402 bits. Fun car to drive on the weekend.
What is OBP?
@@carswithsepp Obsidian Black Pearl

The 04 is quite the machine for its time
@@Fraturdays oh yeah for sure that’d be great ! My email is in my YT bio. Feel free to send some cool shots my way :)
I would kill for an 09 GT Spec B in Satin white. 19 ever made for the American market, and 09 producion was approximately around 200.
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
I wish I could get my hands on an European 3.0R Spec B wagon.
Great video Sepp. Really like your content. Keep up the great work.
Thank you !
And so what about the 3.0R Spec B manual? I’m driving one since 2 years, and it amazing 😍

Nice man. When did you import it?
@@carswithsepp In 2020
@@carswithsepp I live in the Caribbean so it was very easy to import it
@@KamaSyl Damn thats awesome. Do you have import regulation for age of car? Like the US has 25 year rule

when subaru was subaru...now...i dont know what happened..they lost their soul and flavor, i prefer these old models
Subaru announced its Axing. Legacy is Finished after 2025
