2006 SUBARU LEGACY

For Sale: 2006 Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B Auto – Rare H6 Future Classic

If you know, you know. The Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B is one of the most underrated performance cars of its era – a true Q-car that blends Japanese engineering excellence with discreet styling and everyday usability.

Powered by the legendary EZ30 3.0-litre flat-six boxer engine (245bhp, chain-driven, naturally aspirated), paired with Subaru’s bulletproof Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Bilstein sport suspension, this car offers refinement, performance, and handling balance in a package that was years ahead of its time.

Where most Subarus of the 2000s were rally-inspired turbos, the 3.0R Spec B was aimed squarely at BMW and Audi buyers – and today, its rarity and engineering make it a modern classic in the making.

The above was produced by Chat GPT and is pretty much spot on.

I am the second owner having purchased the car in 2009, during this time it has proven to be a very reliable and fun car.
