Highlights

- Long-term ownership, with just 1 former keeper
- Well-maintained example, in excellent working order
- Considerably rare, particularly on UK roads
The Appeal
Known the world over for its practicality, the Legacy tends to lurk in the shadows of its more performance-oriented Subaru brethren. The B4 RSK however, is no ordinary legacy, instead packing a twin-turbocharged EJ20, clever AWD system, and one of the more engaging automatic gearboxes on offer, with sequential manual, and steering wheel control options.
In addition to packing enough power and technology to embarrass plenty of performance cars on the open road or twisties, it still lives true to the Legacy’s practical nature. There are four doors, 5 seats, plenty of interior comforts, a load-through boot, and more than enough space for all your daily needs. Very few cars seem to master the balance between impressive performance, and practicality quite like the B4 RSK.
This particular example does of course hail from its home country, having been purchased by the previous keeper from new in Japan, then brought over to the UK. It was then purchased by the current keeper, who has thoroughly enjoyed and treasured the vehicle for over fifteen years. Throughout its time with the current keeper, this Legacy has been very well maintained, garage stored, and of course, rather well cared for.
With excellent history, great mechanical health, and plenty of MOT left to enjoy, this practical performance machine is more than ready to impress its next lucky keeper.
