SUBARU LEGACY - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed 

He is just so powerful that the camera can’t track his every movement

Everyone's saying that James lost weight because of his heart attack but we all know that he is really trying to improve his performance and ever one knows that weight reduction is the key to easy performance gains. It also looks like the guy in the crowd is doing the same thing.

Damn, that Legacy is SUS

I bought a 1999 Subaru Legacy station wagon this week 1 owner 120k miles from newport beach california i love it!!

soccer moms: we want stupid slow cars Subaru: ahaha boxter engine go brrrrrrrr

James looks 6 years younger after he lost weight, ngl.

Subarus AWD was the reason they got so popular in Switzerland, especially in the eastern parts where the Alps are. We always had Subarus and they always did their job perfectly, no matter how much snow there was. Great cars.

Dude you look great man, glad to see you taking care of yourself! Keep up the kickass vids!

Anybody else notice how much slimmer James looks. Good for you James Get healthy live long.

James: Lightning! Lightning! Lightning! James’ neighbour: Does that little boy next door have to play with his wizard toys so loud?

Shout out from Kenya, home of the Safari Rally. Patrick Njiru is a legend.

I love my Spec B, she is a workhorse and the perfect Sleeper car out there.

“Even when they give us cool stuff we don’t buy it, we don’t deserve it.” Dam i felt that 😔

When i lived in Japan i had a legacy gt wagon twin Turbo and it was amazing!!!!!

We had a BMW 530 Touring for 13yrs before buying a Subaru Outback in Germany with 165 hrprs from its 2.0l Diesel. While it does not have the sublime double glazing, B&W stereo, buffalo leather seats and the straight six scream. It does handle very well, in WHATEVER weather, the Diesel is a happy revving diesel, goes quite well when driven fast. It is robust, reliable and spacious. I’m 6’4”, my dad is 6’2” and I can sit behind him quite comfortable. I was unable to sit behind him in the 5-series, at first we were in the market for a A8 or BMW 7-series. But my mom objected since we have a rather large dog 😂 we randomly stopped by at a Subaru showroom jokingly going to “buy a rally car” but the car sold itself, it has the legroom of a 7-series ffs, the only other large estate to offer this is the Skoda Superb. ALL other cars of similar size did not get to its level. (We tried them all out in the showrooms, Jaguar XF, Audi A6, BMW 5-series, E-class, Mazda 6 etc.) Its great for those 13hr drives to skiing resorts. It goes through 40cm of snow on a decent pair of Micheli tyres. It has a Webasto, to heat it. It has leather seats, seat heating, Cruise control, open roofs and A/C. Plus a fucking manual gearbox. As far as I’m concerned thats all one needs. And a bluetooth connection, also nice. We all enjoy driving and are not keen on all the electronic nannies the competition has. 🤡 I’m gonna take her over in 2y when they’re gonna buy a Electric car at home, I will drive it until it dies. And then I’d like to buy the new model, with the 2,4l Turbo engine, making 270hrsprs. It will be a great sleeper, tearing apart idiots in their Audi A6 or BMW 5-series. It will be great, 1.6tons of Japanese made steel kicking ass in the 3rd lane! Also I take it on scoutscamp, dragging all kinds of shit around through the mud. Its great

Damn James has lost a lot of weight Good job James

In Australia this car is called the Liberty and is very well liked in the wagon body. We had the GT model with the H6 engine too.

JUST BOUGHT A 2004 SUBARU LEGACY TODAY. My 2nd car after a 1982 Volkswagen Westfalia lol. I AM SO EXCITED. Time to get up to speed.

Back in high school, everybody was sure my grand prix was the fastest in.the parking lot until i got blown away by this girl with like a 2006 legacy gt

He loosin weight. Me: he lost his buff horse my mom: he was a thicc boi Me: but now he a quick boi?

Just bought a Japanese import Legacy B4 RSK. and it is an ANIMAL, 280bhp twin turbo 4wd, deep exhaust with pops/bangs, I am in love.

I am so proud of James getting healthy. He looks so good now after what happened! Super proud of him! Love you, James! Thank you Donut for putting out these awesome videos during this quarantine. I look forward to every day to watch your guys' vids!

* car explodes * "its what makes a subaru, a subaru"

Helping that one dude : 110 Day requesting James to do up to speed on his dad

Just bought a 2005 legacy gt in 2022 and I am very happy! Big upgrade from an 09 Impala! So excited to get this car running smoothly and get it in shape under my ownership.

James my man, you're already looking thinner and healthier than before you incident, congrats!!! It's evident at plain sight that you are taking better care of yourself, keep it up!

James is really goin for that race weight reduction

James has lost so much weight that he looks like he’s been cropped incorrectly from green screen.

I remember going to miami auto show and seating in Legacy GT , falling in love with it and dreaming of one ever since

I never thought I'd be interested in the history of the Legacy and Subaru, but here I am watching this. Thank you for putting this together! Now where can I get a Touring Bruce!

damn!!!. now that’s weight loss

"You are half the man you were, James!" Mr. Context approves of this message

I have a 2010 outback, 1st Subaru ive ever owned, n im beginning to love it. Ive had many vehicles, n for what it is, i love it. It gets decent mpg, like 25 to 28 for the most part, in 2.5L variant. I only paid 5k for it a cpl months ago with 104,000 miles. Not what id expect to pay, but for what was available at that price point near me, its the best car for the money because i need awd for where i live for sure. I still need to show up for work no matter weather or anything. No excuses.

I just rebuilt an EJ25 for my own Subaru legacy. I love legacy’s and the support from the legacy/liberty community is legendary

I swear I thought James actually sits in front the cars in the background.

James taking it easy on the snacks during this quarantine huh!! He's cutting weight for.......Mo PooWaa baby!!

Got my first car a month or two ago and here in Australia it’s called a liberty gt spec b. Such a fun car, glad to see it getting some love

Spec B is such a great car, sadly almost impossible to find one that isn't heavily modified or beat to hell and back.

James taking this stay at home order seriously. He ran out of food two weeks ago but he ain’t budging!

Great video.. In Kenya, the Subaru was everything. People lined up the roads to witness the Legacy and Imprezzas of Patrick Njiru and McRae during the Safari Rally. Up to date, we still buy Subarus and paint them blue and install loud exhausts. Subaru is still a cult, almost 20yrs after the last WRC Safari Rally event..

I’ve had a 02 legacy for 5 years now, it’s been a great experience, it led me to getting a 22 Wrx, I’m a former Honda and vw guy, the 02 legacy sedan won me over

Blessings man glad you back and pumping

You should photoshop the crowd stock photo so that they are all 6 feet away.

Where's that guy requesting an up to speed for James' dad

My first car was a 93 Legacy Wagon that my grandparents used to own. Fully loaded. Power windows, power locks, and those sweet automatic seatbelts. Best car I EVER owned. I sold it to my uncle when I bought my 93 Dodge Stealth and it had almost 600,000 miles when he dropped a tree on it and he STILL drove it back to the house. Please do an episode on the Cavalier. You can even do it as a Chevy compact episode. The Citation, Cavalier, Cobalt, and Cruze all in one episode.

Thanks for posting this video! I moved to Alaska December of 2014 and purchased my first import car a 2012 Subaru Legacy GT w/o a test drive. The dealer picked me up at the airport loaded my family of 4 in it with luggage and we dropped him off at his home! I could not believe how amazing this Sedan handled the snow and any terrain at that. Plus I sent it all the time pushing a inter-cooled turbo, hood scoop, 6-speed manual, AWD, sunroof, heated seats and sizable trunk. We made a another man child and needed more space but that Legacy was legendary and a badass car! Wonder how I can stuff that set-up in a 73-74 AMC Javelin/AMX? HMM..

Sitting in my legacy GT for lunch and this pops up on my new vids... LETS GO

Being from Kenya home of the safari rally and a subbie head I felt so proud seeing Patrick Njiru getting a mention here ..

My '05 GT sedan is one of my favorite cars that I have ever sat in when I bought it. Something about that car just felt right. I always wanted a SpecB and I still get excited to this day when I see them around. I had no idea that only about 1500 were sold :( Maybe that's why they don't offer any cool versions of the legacy sedan now.....

*Look at @jamespumphrey all slim and healthy for 2020!!! Looking good man, keep it up, we need ya to keep doing these!!* 💪🏾

James you look like your body shrunk but your head stayed the same size during quarantine. Kinda like Captain America before he got swole.

Finding a clean 5 speed legacy 2.5gt on Facebook marketplace has been hard enough before this video came out... thanks Donut.

If you see one, buy it! Have mine 10 yrs and still love it. 2.0 turbo 280bhp.

I love how the Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Turbo was Subaru's version of a Audi S4. It''s also cool how it helped folks get out of their closet and embrace Subaru's love.

Day 110 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad

James has lost his thicc boi title

I have a 2005 Legacy 2.5 GT Limited wagon. Black on black. Just crossed 100,000 miles this year! Yes, that low of miles and in excellent condition. Has only seen 2 winters.

Just bought my first car ever, a subaru Legacy 97 model for about 1200 bucks. Came to learn something about it and honestly, way more interesting than I expected

This is everything you need to know to get up to speed on ... Lexus SC Jaguar XJ Ps. James is looking thinnn not thiccc haha

0:10 when the greenscreen can't contain James' MO POWAH

Back when I was fixing cars a regular customer to the shop had a legacy GT. I took it for a test drive after an alignment and decided that I needed to own one. That night I hopped on the internet and saw the price for used ones. It cleared that urge right up.

Since James is doing vids at home, it gave them a nostalgia feel. Like I'm watching 2010 RU-vid, I like it :D

Audience member and james where wearing the same shirt, i'm starting to think they might be..... RELATED?

No one: Not a single soul: Pumphrey: *Rally car noises*

Good stuff. I own a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT and LOVE IT. My favorite car. Not to big, not to small and alot of power!

I drove a 95 2.0 Legacy Wagon in New Zealand for a couple of months, it was slow and thirsty but generally coped extremely well with the very steep unsealed roads they have over there, thanks to the AWD and dual-range gears, I'd love to try a 'full fat' version sometime.

This car is very very underrated. They need to bring the Subaru GT back 🤦‍♂️ and the 6-cylinder Legacy.

When u finally get to see the car u gots on a big show

james u looking good bro. my aunt recently passed from a heart attack and i just wanna say were glad youre still here and taking good care of yourself. much love from canada

My first car was a 96 outback in 2019, there were only 75k miles at 23 years old and honestly it was the best thing

My first car was a '08 legacy special edition. Due someone running a red light, I now own a '13 legacy. I love the car but my heart will always be with 4th gen Legacies

James should do an up to speed on up to speed

I've got a Subary Legacy GT Limited...when I see some nimrod in a Mustang tailgating, a evil smile comes onto my face and I slip it over into sport! Greatest sleeper on the market today!

Fun fact: Jim and Pam from the Office drive an Outback.

James how the hell are you losing weight during this freaking quarantine

We had so much fun in roundabouts doing doughnuts (on dry pavement believe it or not) and 4Wdrifting in the snow... ah, the Legacy... a slightly clumsy but fun tire spinner ^^

I was just watching your “up to speed” of the wrx. From two years ago. And I must say man you have lost so much!! Great work man.

JAMES YOU LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT!! PROUD OF YOU! STAY HEALTHY BRO!

Comment Section: 90% James has lost so much wight 10% Video related

I own a 4th gen auto n/a as my daily and just got a 3rd gen b4 5spd as my weekender.. love the libs/legacys. Solid video

Man, I have a 99 Legacy Outback Limited, had one of those JDM twin turbo Legacys (GT-B wagon) and also have an 09 GT Spec.B. I just can't get enough of these things.

I think the camera couldnt takle the lost weight James version...

6:08 Patrick Njiiru from Kenya!🙌🏽🙌🏽🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Sold my dark grey metallic 08 legacy last year. It was a beast in the snow

Thank you guys! Finally featuring a car I have! Haha. Love the show.

I’ve had two twin turbo Japanese Import Legacy Gt-B wagons!! Loved loved loved them! Great handling, quick enough, loads of room, twin sunroof, way ahead of their contemporaries in terms of electric windows and A/C (96 & 98 models) They were a little bit thirsty!!

Kenyans wenye wako ndani wadrop likes za Patrick Njiru

Nice to watch this back after I got my 2.2 wagon

I happen to have a 3rd gen legacy outback sedan. It’s existence astounds both sides of the Subaru owner field, nobody understands why it exists. The interior is wonderful and quite comfy, while the outside, with its gold plastic cladding, spoiler, and factory lift kit says, “OUTTA THE WAY GRANDSON, GRANNY IS GOIN OFF ROOOOAD!!”

I was wondering when they were gonna do this one, ty for still putting these out guys!

Love my 2005 LGT 5 speed and suprisingly pretty reliable for 167k miles 😂 only had to replace the turbo once so far lol VF52 swapped 330 not so buff horses lol

As a proud Legacy GT wagon owner..... I salute this presentation. Cheers fam!

I have an 07 GT STI Turbo Liberty (legacy) Australian made 1/300 and my god it’s my life, she’s quick and fast and an absolute work of art, honestly best decision to make if you can find one buy one

Accord: check Legacy: check Camry: do it

Everything about the Subaru Legacy in North America* Where's the S401 and S402? Spec B 3.0?

Why I love Subaru. They blow head gaskets all the time, and I'm an automotive machinist.

Looking hella slim my guy 👌 keep it up. Also you should do an up to speed on Daihatsu

I'm really disappointed that James didn't talk about the Flat 6 🥺😢
