Got a Blitzen edition with the 5speed and I love it. Drives great on the summer and is a blast to drift around in the snow and on lakes during winter. Canadian weather approved 🇨🇦
What a sweet ride! Twin turbo AND a wagon, oh yeah! The only thing better would have been if it had a manual transmission. Japan got all the cool cars, especially in the 1990s. That car actually looks newer than a 1994, but good thing it is that old, because now that it's over 25 years old, it was able to be imported into the US.
zack you forgot to mention the switch for having your headlights automatically turn off when you turn the engine off on the steering wheel. I love that switch and it is great that my 97 legacy outback has that and I love I haven't killed a battery from that.
I have a 94 Subaru L wagon made in Indiana postal and it has a backup beeper but it drove me nuts so I had the mechanic disconnect it but I love the car 🚙 I’m retired from post office yrs ago but still driving my baby blue
Very good review! I have this very model in New Zealand where there are a few of them around. Mine still factory but most here have been modified now. Much more practical day-to-day than my 1990 Nissan 300zx/TT.
I can think of only 2 cars that we got that were better then there JDM counterparts but that's it I agree that we in the U.S market got shafted. The two I know that were better then there JDM counterparts are the X72/73 Cressida because we got the 5M-GE and japan didn't and 1976-95 U.S 2wd Hilux trucks because we got the bulletproof 20/22R and they got the weak 18R or 21R. The 4WD's don't count because they got the turbo diesel in those. Just wanted people to know that there are a rare few super cool USDM Japanese cars we got that they didn't.
Nice video. I've just bought a 2002 GTB legacy wagon which is one of the last twin turbo models before they went twin scroll. Hopefully getting it next week!
Wrong. They had a 2003. Model called the "S-Edition" which came in a few rare color options such as "spark yellow" and "WRC blue". This car also featured the twin turbo setup, I know for a fact, because I've owned one in spark yellow.
It's so weird having a Postal version of the legacy. It's the middle ground between a JDM Legacy and a USDM Legacy. For example, obviously, it's RHD. But everything else is USDM, meaning, turn signals and wipers aren't switched. Everything is still in English rather than Japanese. I've been looking for some authentic JDM parts for it.
To be pedantic, Subaru should never have branded this "twin turbo" because twin means TWO OF THE SAME TURBOS. Biturbo more generally and sequential more specifically - not "twin".
You got a few things wrong about this car, and I should know, here in New Zealand we have an abundance of these, right from 1993-2003 they kept the twin turbo setup, and I've driven plenty of them and owned plenty. There's definitely a lag in-between the turbo changeover, its known as the "valley of death", it's a noticeable dip in torque before the second turbo kicks in. Also, that cluster in the car you've shown is not factory, it's an aftermarket STi cluster as the GT legacy's never had an STi version, closest they had was the 2003 S-Edition, which I've owned.
Anyone able to help? I'm looking for a 96-99 Legacy gt wagon in the states (specifically California) to buy but they seem to be decently rare. Anyone know a good group or place to find them?
@@youngpunkondope I dint end up getting one so idk, dint see anyone complain about them so they can’t be that bad. But it’s pretty old car so rubbers might start giving out
I have a 1998 Subaru B4 RSK, those cars are fun and super cheap. But you need a tune if you dont have 100 octane in your country, otherwise your engine not gonna last long. Mine is making 330 hp and has been pretty reliable but you have to do your oil change every 5000 km.
I dont get how everyone has issues with there subarus ive had 3 all where fine and my current one i thrash the shit out of it cobb ots stage 2 also! Maybe because i change the oil like every 2500 miles or im just lucky
@@tyhyhh ok it isn‘t as bad tbh if you have a mechanic who nows about subarus. The issue with mine was it consumed waaay to much gas but it’s better now with a new oxygen sensor.
@@badmelon18 do the oil change every 5000 km and dont trash the turbos when the car is cold, you will be fine. JDM cars as to be tuned for local gas if you dont have 100 octane.
You can’t. The TT setup won’t fit on anything but a right hand drive car. The turbos will get in the way of the steering, and brakes on a USDM model. If it makes you feel better, a modern single turbo will outperform the old twin setup in every way.
@@Ps35176 hey you seem to know about these TT engines, I have one of these for sale near me (1996) with 50k miles. What kind of issues do I need to know about before seriously considering this car?
Vacuum issues with the black box of death. More moving parts, more parts that can fail. Treat a turbo better than you do yourself. Change the oil religiously and on-time. Enjoy the ride, it's freaking amazing!
Zac thank you for uploading such gems, you wont see these cars on famous channels. Greetings from germany from BP5 owner.
My uncle used to have a 1994 twin turbo, midnight blue and with a momo steering wheel. That car was fire, still in love with it.

Nice i have a 1998 B4 RSK, you should get a tune if you don't have 100 octane nearby, mine is tuned for the 94 canadian gas and making 330 hp.

So many awesome JDM finds this week!

Loving the JDM streak this week!
I have the 95 twin turbo 5sp wagon and love it best car..i own a xr6 Ford falcon as well not turbo the Subaru is by far more fun..
Love your review BTW keep up the great work.
Love the channel. Learn so much with it. Great review.
I also drive a twin turbo jdm 2000 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B E-Tune 5 speed in Canada, really fun to drive
Thanks for making this video!!

I’ve been wanting this car, and plan to buy this year. And I’m in North Carolina for military. Hope I can meet him and look at the car

I had no idea the jdm legacy was a second gen in 94

Would one with 90 k miles for 4k be a good buy? How reliable are they
ok but that car driving behind the legacy is burning like a quart of oil in the time it was shown
I came so close to buying the usdm 5 speed but a Mazda b2000 popped up and I literally picked it up in about 40min
Do you know the fuel capacity??? Just got one myself! Having a hard time finding it…
Every Japanese market automatic car has the reverse beep. It's a requirement.
The JDM import Euros we get don't have a reverse beep.
the auto back in 94 was much better than the 2000+ automatic trans the 00s shift like it doesn't want to have fun. and flutters
I want it 😭

I got a 94 for sale in Washington

Are these reliable for a daily driver looking at one with 57k miles looks really clean
Yeah, I'm curious about this too
Did you guys find it l out

Might be worth doing some better research before taking about this car, lots of wrong information on these cars.
Owning a single turbo Subaru I can not imagine what kind of financial nightmare a twin turbo might be.
