Kick ass. P.S. The boys at Jiffy Lube are dumb dumbs. They were the quickest place I could go to get an oil change for my upcoming holiday road trip. I...
I can attest to the mountain bike-friendly nature of the OBS. I took mine out to the Maah Daah Hey trail in the ND badlands over Memorial Day Weekend. It was...
Don't get me wrong, I love my 2000 OBS. However, it's been raining here lately, and when I get in my car, even though it's usually parked in a garage, it...
That's mildew you're smelling. There's a seal broken somewhere and there's a small amount of water coming in. Examine the tailights closely for condensation...
Check the hatch for dead bodies, too. They can sometimes get maloderous. ... there's a small amount of water coming in. Examine the tailights closely for...
... wrong, Its never been in a shop, Mobil 1 at Jiffy Lube and thats it. Best car I have ever owned. __________________________________________________ Do You...
I'm at 139K+ miles (I've had it since 92K) and definitely haven't had that much of repairs. Most I did was have the front main seal replaced which wasn't...
... here lately, and when I get in my car, even though it's usually parked in a garage, it smells dirty and foul. The only explanation that comes to mind is...
Our 2002 OBS we've only had since April, seems not to have as quick pick up when you start at lights, stop signs, etc as our older car that only has 135 hp....
Are you saying your last one was a 5-speed and this one's an automatic? The Subaru automatics are never as fast as the 5-speeds, especially off the line. And...
Perhaps I'm mistaken as to which models it applies, but it somewhat seems to me that the new OBS have the TDC or whatever new Auto trannies in them and that...
-Our other car is an automatic but a totally different make and is not an AWD either like the OBS. So, probably what you said about weight makes a difference...
In addition to the AC drain tube clogging, the AC itself can cause the smelly problem. Condensation on the evaporator will sit there after you park the car,...
Has anyone done this? I recently put on 215-45-17 Toyo T1S. Great stopping power, but now the brakes are the weak link. I've seen the website with fairly...
You might want to make sure you're not using the windshield defroster setting on your air vents, too. I found this out by accident, but any time you've got...
$1350 seems like a lot for a warranty, since you're still covered by the original. Did you check subaruwarranty.com? My dad paid less than that for his Volvo...
When I was looking for a car, I was talking to someone at a used Subaru car lot. He siad you have to run high octane gas, and that if you didn't, a light...
He was probably talking about the old turbo models. They usually require 91+. You should run 87 in your '00 OBS. The car won't respond to higher octane...
Maitreg2......if i have a cold air intake, kn filter and high performance spark plugs what octane gas should i be buying to optimize these upgrades? 2000 obs...
it's a gamble that i thought was worth taking as major things on these cars are quite expensive to fix. $1350 was for a 100K miles no-deductible warrenty. on...
It's a gamble all right. Just like the three year extended warranty I bought for my laptop computer. It lasted three years and four months before it broke!...
I would think the car would be able to take advantage of a higher octane. It will take a few fillups for the computer to learn the new timing and stuff, but...
I gotta tone in here...higher octane does one thing only, it offers knock (detonation) protection. That's it. If your car's not knocking, higher octane will...
is that all high octane gas does is reduce the chance for knocking? why do high performance street cars have a 91 octane rating? does this means that they are...
That's WAY oversimplified. Higher octane burns hotter causing less knocking. Generally the reason an engine is knocking is because it's not burning fuel hot...
