Well built interior fulfills most of its duties
Inside, you'll find suede and leather seats, a navigation system, premium audio, and a well-trimmed and nicely assembled cockpit that's set off by a gorgeous instrument cluster.

The spec.B is a well thought mix of luxury and performance.

Biggest complaint in here is the lack of proper arm-rests. After extensive highway driving, I wasn't able to get completely comfortable in the car- but maybe I like arm-rests more than some.

It is an interior that looks and mostly feels the part of a factory tuned sport sedan, putting its high-tech on full display, with a bright and easy-to-use navigation and instrumentation display in the dash centre. Additionally, a screen in the tachometer indicates your current selection from the SI-Drive controller, and displays an associated output graph in real time.

A worthy contender at the end of the day
In all, B.Spec might leave some drivers asking for a tighter shifter, some arm-rests, and a few extra horsepower to back up its $4,700 premium over the standard model. It may have a few rough edges, but it Legacy enthusiasts will find it a fine flagship, as you might- depending on your priorities.


Tremendous handling capability
Reasonably comfortable ride
Neato SI-Drive system
Confident all-weather operation

No armrests
Feels a few features short of its price
Sometimes lumpy power delivery



Shifter feels out of place in a performance car
