Subaru Legacy B4 - trump card Subaru

Subaru always surprised with her novelties. The appearance of the updated sedan Subaru Legacy B4, and then its tuned version, was no exception. B4 is the perfect combination of dynamics, handling and comfort.

In the new generation sedan Subaru Legacy B4 significantly grown in size, gained a muscular topography and acquired a superpower capacity. Like its predecessor, the updated Legacy B4 belongs to the cast of sports sedans. New technologies, including the concept of SI Chassis, have increased the stability and controllability of the machine. The suspension bracket of the Cradle Mount engine not only significantly improved the sound insulation of the engine compartment, but also reduced the likelihood of serious deformations and collision damage.

In 2010, Subaru Technica International presented its version of the tuned Subaru Legacy B4, designed on the basis of the factory modification. Tuned Subaru was named 2.5 GT tS. Two cars of a class of vehicles were created. One - on the base of the Subaru station wagon, the second - on the basis of the sedan Subaru Legacy B4. Both are equipped with version 2.5 GT S Package.

The tuning sedan received an improved suspension and shock absorbers Bilstein. Also, a flexible strut of the front pillars, two stabilizers of the front suspension and stabilizers of the rear pillars were installed. All this innovative kit significantly improved the grip of the car with the road, providing the sedan with excellent handling.

Improvements have affected and the basic units. The restyled version of the Subaru Legacy B4 left the previous 2.5-liter engine in the 281 "horse". The maximum power unit can produce 6000 rpm. However, the former motor can be called only by parameters. In fact, the entire piston group was updated . And many engine elements, including the head of the collector, combustion chambers and electronic systems, have been completely modernized.

The engine transmits torque to a five-speed automatic transmission. This inseparable pair on the Subaru Legacy B4 is programmed into three modes of operation - Intelligent, Sport Sharp and Sport. In reality, it's like being able to choose between three completely different motors. As evidenced by Subaru Legacy's owners' reviews, the "Intellect" and "Sport" modes are unlikely to be needed after they try Sport Sharp!

This is easy to believe, when the car in the "Sport-Sharp" mode, even at the first speed literally breaks down. Two thousand revolutions are dialed almost instantly, clearly and quickly transmitted to the wheels. This is especially felt when the engine is stabilized at 5500 rpm. The car quickly and surprisingly gently passes the turns. A sensitive brake system allows you to smoothly reduce the speed.

Due to the improved suspension, the course for Legacy B4 is quite soft, despite the low ground clearance and seeming earthiness. This is due to the new design of the chassis, which was tested for the first time on the Impreza. The old inter-link parts on the rear axle were replaced and the racks were updated.

Subaru Legacy B4 2.5GT is a stylish and spacious car, estimated by the manufacturer at $ 32,000. By dynamics, comfort and controllability, he can safely stand in a row with elite German cars.
