    Am going to have a look at a Legacy Spec B this weekend. Had been thinking of a WRX estate or a Forester XT but I reckon the Leggy is what I'm going to settle for.

    Have driven one a few times before, in fact I had one for about six weeks when some clown in a main dealer near-wrote my Spec D off "testing it".

    I've noticed mention of a couple of LADS running them, was just wondering what their opinions are and if there is anything I should be specifically looking for or worrying about as I haven't found much on them from Google searching unless it is preceded by "2.5" lol.

    Would welcome any thoughts, no matter how unconstructive...

    Legacy spec.B is either 3.0R with the N/A 3.0 H6 engine - or the Jap import 2.0GT twin scroll turbo :wink: - There is a 2.5 turbo version but it's only USDM models AFAIK

    Lots of info and very enthusiastic enthusiasts here... http://www.uklegacy.com/forums

    Thanks for those links and that info. I'll register when I get one, which should hopefully be this weekend.

    I'm looking at the UK 3.0 H6. It's a nice engine and genuinely sounds like a 911. My wife wants me to get something sensible to drive a baby around in and has... tolerated my previous cars. I think the Spec B is about as sensible as I'm ever going to go. I also want all wheel drive and cannot bring myself to buy something with four rings on the front.

    Was considering the 2.0 JDM model but I don't think I can justify the outlay to be honest, they go for a fair whack with low mileage.

    Also, I think I'd be defeating the object of why I am buying one - I am looking for a relatively comfortable sporty saloon for daily commuting and long distance cruises, not a bigger version of the Impreza STi, which I already have!
