Modified Subaru Legacy GT - One Take 

Love my '06 LGT Spec B. Perfect sleeper, and a great daily driver. Glad to see an LGT featured here, even if it is a 5th gen.

I love the fact you always got good things to say about the Legacy I'm proud to own my 98 GT

Honestly Matt, these One Takes are my favorite videos on youtube!

LOVE you giving the shout out to the 4th gen LGT's...made my day. Never forgive myself for selling my 05. Not many realize they have the same drivetrain as the WRX's for the most part - mods are identical. Forrester XT is the ultimate sleeper.

He put Pilot Super Sport tires on that thing. Those are making most of the differences.

Thanks for testing a Legacy! I love these!

Great video!!! I always loved the LGT's; it's awesome to see one make it onto One Take.

Really enjoying these one takes. It was a great idea to start doing these. It gets us a nice look into many unique likable cars!

Love Legacys! I really wanted one, and great to see how they drive! Nice review Matt

I seen one of these for sale a couple months ago when I was car shopping. Didn't even know these existed. Looked like a really cool car in person. :) Nice review

@1:35 Thats a nice way of putting it. lol

good stuff Matt, always likes your reviews. respect from the UK

So far these one takes are my favorite thing you do Matt. I ve stopped watching Drive compleatly, which is too bad, I liked watching Mike Musto. Anyhoo, keep up the great work, we don t have these kinds of roads and weather in Canada so it s nice to be able to get your point of view and impressions from such a variety of cars.

There is always someone commenting about Matt going over a yellow line or rolling a stop sign or some other shit, come on guys, you have all done it, and tbh, Matt has probably driven these roads so many times he knows them as good as his back pockets, he knows where to be careful and when.

Sick series man! Love it

These one take videos are the best car vids on RU-vid right meow

Just picked up one of these (2012 GT) with low mileage in Canada! Excited to hopefully modify it to this spec

It's nice to see these One Takes to see where I would want to go with a car. Not feasible for me right now but some day. Keep up the good work and variety of cars!

I had a 2008 LGT for almost 7 years. It was a good car, and looked A LOT better than the generation after (this one). It got zero attention on the road, and i didn't get a single ticket while owning it. I replaced it with a red 2014 Mustang and have already been in trouble. I got a good deal on the Mustang but i have to say the 08' LGT kills a 14' Mustang on overall refinement, interior quality and features...different class of car, i know.

Great car! I had an 05 LGT and a 08 specB...both stg 2+ awesome DD!

I have a stage 3 05 LGT. Catless turbo back, vf39 out of an sti, cobb intake and tune, new tires and I love it. I daily it and am still young so the "legacy" was the perfect tuner car for insurance companies for my age. With 310 to the crank and 20psi also very competitive with the sti

The last gen body style was soooo much better.

Well tuned. Looks like a great drive.

Sweet. I've got those Bilstein's sitting in my kitchen. Just need to find the RCE springs... Pretty excited about them.

As always, a great review

love the way these look

Nice car Dave! Matt, I don't think i would let you rod my car around just for a video on the internet. I'm not hating on the one takes they are awesome!!!!

Sorry , I know this is old but I would love to take my Legacy down this road.....awesome driving bro

I love the one takes!

This is my favorite car to drive. Had a 2011 Sti and ended up keeping the 2010 GT🥳

Nice Car. I got a 2010 LGT with stage 1 Cobb Access Port tune and a Borla cat back exhaust. I love it, its a great car.

I like that he kept the exhaust stock

For my Fozzie, I picked up the rear discs off the '05 LGT which are the biggest ones available that aren't Brembo and still stock, with nice thick 18mm vented discs, and the fronts (because I've still got stock 16" wheels) are from WRX of some vintage (forget which, I think it's an '02). If I ever get my wish to come true and pick up an '05 LGT donor car to pull the engine and trans from, I'll probably swap to the 17" wheels from it, and therefore the bigger front discs, too. Since the Fozzie is a fatter car, I'll probably run some much more aggressive pads, too. Great episode, giving me some good ideas.

Nice ride dude

Can't wait to see you drive a proper 4th Gen around those roads.

what a nice car ! I like the style

Matt, you speak of the importance of tires often. Would you consider doing a video simply discussing tires? Which one is best for certain applications, best bang for the buck, or even just you top 5. Have a great weekend sir

4th Gen LGT (Legacy GT) owner here, nice review on the 5th! But think I prefer my 4th Gen

I have this exact car with the Cobb off the shelf tuning, K&N filter, short throw shifter and Michelin Pilot sports. Had a Magnaflow exhaust but took it off because of drone. Also had the entire car Dynamatted (made it a verb) to make it quieter. I want to have Brembos put on next. It is a lightning fast car at 3500-4500 rpm’s. And yes, you can accelerate through the turns and the car is glued to the ground! A super fun car to drive!!!

This is my favorite Legacy. Best of comfort and power. RIP Legacy GT.

Hey Matt! (Or whomever reads these things at TST) Just wanted to say that I really love these one takes in the Canyons of California. Wonderful job. Did you guys ever do a M3 or M5 for these one takes yet? That Z3M a while back was cool too! Bubble car!

Yes In my year 2013 my 3.6 R has a 26 mm sway bar front stock, and bigger brakes up front, and the rear discs are vented as well.

Matt, If you are ever in San Diego, I know some very, very, very good driving roads that are NOT popular and known, thus less traveled. They would be great places to host these viewer car specials. If you have viewers from San Diego that want you to drive their car, I'd recommend coming down here to film them.

Good job - prefer when owner is in the car

Inside Subaru's engineering department, circa 2009: "Ok guys, let's replace one of the only good-looking cars we've ever made with a bloated turd! It'll have wheel arches so large you'll think it's a prerunner. And lets not update the interior! Our cheap silver plastic is great, everyone loves it."

"Perfect car for when you need a camry, but you still want to have fun" I love my LGT '10, but i actually joke about it being a camry at times. So its fair to say that your comment is right on. Most of the complaints i get from friends trying out my car are issues solved by going to the WRX/STI. Its a big comfortable car, if you want an "all out" sports car, go for the WRX/STI. The Legacy GT is a swiss army knife when the WRX is a blade, the Legacy is an "all arounder''. Besides the LGT is really just a bigger WRX with a better finish, more luxury, more comfort, and sadly, without a handbrake.

Love all these! Anything to be said for getting Zack to drive some peoples cars as well? thought he was pretty good when he was on camera/reviewing!

Come to Connecticut and review my 4th Gen Legacy GT wagon!

Super cool

So why does the aftermarket ignore the 2010 Legacy 3.6R ?? I know it's not as raw as the prev gen, but it's still a good car. I am considering buying a 2008 Legacy 2.5 GT (Auto), or a 2010 3.6R Limited. Is the 08 GT as good as everyone says it is? :)

this is badass

What's up with the wheelwell link? Did they remove the social media aspect?

sick!!! i have a '12 LGT and have been waiting to see it on one take. but it's not the shifter out of the STI. its a cable shifter the one on the STI (and the WRX) have solid linkage shifters. wish you were in something with a custom tune tho these things pick up anywhere from 20-40 peak wheel torque and even more in the mid ranges over the OTS cobb map

Nice! The way you described the weight on the steering wheel is spot on -- on my '15 WRX it feels a bit numb until you start to lean into a turn pretty heavily and then you can feel what's up. Not sure if this is Subaru using a cheaper part of it was intentional to make the car feel easier/smoother at slower every day speeds but when you give it some oomf the 'sports car' awakens.

im about to buy a 2011 of this limited gt i hope its just as good

I got a 09 af that model all standard, a really nice drive🎉 You make way to many shift up and down, Drive it on torque just as Dave said.

I want one soon

I'm surprised that the 5th gen legacy GT does so well. I thought that after the 4th gen the Legacy would be too bloated to be fun. Now I really want to see Matt drive a well sorted Spec. B.

up hill little TJ at night is pure heaven.

Good driver

Great review of what the LGT can do and an even better example of careless driving on a public road.

any timetable on when the speed3 video will be up?

You just imitated a Subaru rumble perfectly

Dave's not here man!

Subaru makes great cars

Subaru clutches are usually really light and not too good with feel. Honestly, I feel like every car should use Mini Cooper clutches, as those things are absolutely perfect.

I would like to see a review of the Dodge challanger sxt or r/t please

Similar concept of modding to the Volvo but with AWD and a 6 speed manual. Do like. :)

one of these days matt is going to demonstrate the pit manoeuver...

Man you can come to oregon and test drive one that has been modded!! Stage 2 with my 2010 and it hauls ass!

Manual gearboxes FTW!!!

Which of the roads you've done one takes on is your favorite?

i cant wait for his mustang to be finish, did they give you a ETA on it

Hey I heard of some horror stories of D'bags dumping oil on California roads, have you had any run in with that?

Some spacers would make a big difference in the look. It's got nice arch extensions but the wheels are too deep inside, doesn't look nice.

Matt, have you driven the Legacy 3.6R? Roughly the same power numbers but coming from the N/A flat-6. Not sure if it came in a stick, though.

Why go through the trouble of purchasing an AccessPort, only to run the 'Stage0' map, which is the equivalent of the stock map? I sure hope you meant to say 'Stage1' map

damn that rav4 was jammin

What type of suspension and brakes?

Someone needs to really modify a 3.6r to the max of this generation. That is what i have and im really curious of its potential. curious how super gramps from mighty car mods is holding up.

Next upgrades for it: Lightweight flywheel and carbon fiber driveshaft WOO!

Is he going uphill or downhill?? Am assuming uphill from what my eyes can translate

THIS is the one I wanted :(. Since it wasnt available I just got the 2013 4cyl model :\.. it was still a great car but not the GT.

What was the last year they made the turbo GT Legacys? I think Subaru blew it when they made that decision.

SUBARU!!!! Every car subaru makes is sporty and practical. 4 wheel drive FTW (if you live in the north.)

I brought a 2010 legacy for 3000 bucks very nice I am using e 85 gas on it is that ok premium only with my cars even though is a 4 cylinder engine

didnt know they make manual version of newer legacys. COOL

Subaru i think had a peak visual look for a while and then this generation of Subarus looked good, not as good as the older generations but their own style. But they made up for it with peaking in their performance for the old ej.

How do i get my car featured on this???

2007 Legacy sti version the best car

how much horsepower does this have?

What road is better, The snake or little tujunga? Going to try both soon

we need all cars go to heaven vol 2

Love the vids, but what is stopping the CHP from measuring the distance between landmarks and getting your elapsed time from the video? In California I would expect this to be normal enforcement.

These things are pretty fun even given the fact they are fairly large/heavy.

is this turbo or NA?

I've got one of these. Through 2010-2012 they only made ~1700

I know that road..... That stop sign at the bottom seems a little weird, because there's really no reason for a stop sign there.... There's a turn-off a ways up that will take you to a hang glider launch. It's a great place to party when the fly boys aren't around.... At least it was 20 years ago......

His larger children? DUUUDE.

Needs more loud pedal
