Where the BE5 Legacy B4 fits

BE5 is the saloon version of the third-generation Subaru Legacy, sold in Japan as the B4. The twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre EJ20 in these cars uses two turbochargers in sequence rather than in parallel — a small one for low speeds handing over to a larger one — and drives all four wheels. The Blitzen versions were limited-run cars styled in conjunction with Porsche's design studio.

The clock has passed six figures at 133,126 miles, about 214,200 km. Japan's shaken inspection regime means vehicles of this age in the domestic market have been presented for testing on a fixed cycle throughout their lives.

Putting it to work

Japanese-market saloons and coupes of this period were built to a domestic specification that never crossed to North America: different engines, different trim, different equipment, and in many cases a model that was simply never offered elsewhere. That is the reason to import one rather than buy a local equivalent — there is no local equivalent.

This band covers the JDM cars people import on purpose rather than by accident: turbocharged, rear-driven or four-wheel-drive specifications that were sold in Japan only, now past the 25-year threshold.
