Legacy 3.0 auto will do fine then. Much quicker than the official figures suggest, i.e my Outback 3.0 easily produced a 6.2 second run to 60 simply by standing on the throttle and letting the auto do it's thing. The official number says 8.4. It's a super smooth motor and sounds lovely. The Legacy is quite nice car and although it's not a BMW or Audi, it's very nice inside for a Subaru and well equipped.

Excellent! My old Forester S turbo was an auto. They do make you very lazy, especially with some low down dirty grunt.
I had an 03 WRX and I miss it every day I have to drive round in my poxy van.
Interior as said, not the best but it was absolutely 100% reliable for me. Apart from MOT's and petrol I didn't spend a penny on it in two years. The boot's not massive but when it's that much fun who cares? It was one of those cars that when you fill it up, you don't care because of the enjoyment you'll have running it out of petroleum again.
Also it was the year when we had about two feet of snow and ice for a month, and my wife pinched it off me every day to drive around for work. It absolutely rocks in the snow.
Spec B should fit the bill. Best car ever IMO.
I do miss it 😥

Spec B legacy, is that an import or a proper uk spec car?
Guessing that is UK spec. Unless things have changed don't most grey imports have a squareer number plate? All the older Honda did.
UK I think, the JDM ones have a different bumper if I remember correctly, however I could be wrong. Nice car 🙂
I had an L reg which was 200bhp, (the earliest one I think) but very light.
It was stock, made the best noise ever, and was a hoot.
250 miles to a very small tank (£50).
There are also lots of specialist garages to look after it, and are reasonable.
God it was ugly.
I loved it
OH GOD there's an extremely cheap spec b on ebay and it's just 20 miles away. Must not buy...
PS anyone want to buy a mondeo with absolutely nothing wrong with it and no dubious history, no sir.
I borrowed the BiL's '03 WRX for a few weeks and I'd have another in a flash. Great fun and practical car. Bikes on a rack and heaps of space left over inside, space for a roof box too if you must. Impreza's a common as muck in NZ though which probably keeps the servicing a little more reasonable.
Having that much power and great handling on tap makes you drive like a twunt though.
Just in case anyone's got a bug-eye scooby estate I've got a rigid load liner that's free to a good home, you just have to collect it (too big to post). It's a genuine Subaru product that cost me a canny wack, hence why I can't bring myself to throw it out. I'd rather give it away.
Anyway, if it's of any use please email me.

What mileages are you/did you get on your Subaru's?

Yes please if you are North East based!
It's all yours 😉
I will have to get someone to get it out the loft for me as I'm restricted at the mo (after getting knocked off my bike - broken shoulder/ribs/wrist).
Those spec B Legacy's seem to get better economy with the auto box. Nice cars. The 3.0L's are not turbo charged are they?
They only get quoted as being more economical in auto, in reality they do 18-23 mpg. I got 28 average on a run down to Cornwall and back, cruise control helps!
The uk spec b is 3.0 flat 6, the import is a flat 4 turbo. The flat six is a beauty, ignore the minor power deficit, the drivability is great.
I wish this thread would **** off! Bringing all the heart ache back like an old girlfriend!
It's funny we are all young and daft once then we end up with kids and become all sensible then we think hang on a minute when did I turn into my Grandad!!! This is a good compromise.
