hi all, long time no post. I have a 2005 OBS and think it would look better without the spoiler. anyone know how to take it off in a manner that is safe for...
Hi Group, I am in need of some good advice, and what better place than those who know. I have a 2003 Ford Escape XLT 4WD, that I bought new, with 57,000 miles...
The gas mileage will be similar, power from the base 2.5 motor a little less, but then I think it's hauling less weight. I wouldn't expect the 28 mpg, perhaps...
I just realized I think you are talking about the Legacy Outback, and not the Impreza Outback Sport. My comments were about the Legacy. The Outback Sport is...
The Outback is much more comfortable, and a slightly better ride than the obs. the obs is noisy, cramped, and a little sportier (actually fun) in handling....
I can't speak much for new subies. Though my aunt/uncle had an 04 Forester for about 30K miles (got rid of it for need of a minivan) and my brother has an 03'...
first thing in the morning, it always works, but after I drive it to work(1/2 mile), and turn it off, the brake pedal doesnt feel as firm, and wont shift out...
You drive a 1/2 mile to work? Why drive? ... to ... firm, ... pedal a ... brake ... ground ... alternaor ... still ... screwdriver ... Any ... getting...
Certainly sounds like something to do with the interlock. I've not dealt with it, but it seems like there was some information in the owners manual about the...
On most of the automatics I've driven with the interlock, you can hear the interlock activate when you step on the brake, as you have to do to get the car out...
one thing is for sure, the awd is really good, especially on the OBS auto, like Levi says. I know there's all sorts of stability control, traction control...
First time subie driver who will share what I've learned. I picked up a 1997 Impreza OBS with auto a few months ago to use as a work car and have had a blast...
The gas mileage is a bit disappointing, I think the autos sap a lot of power. The transmission DOES sense how you drive, be quick and decisive with the gas...
I'm not so sure that the auto's are sucking that much power since the mileage is generaly the same or even better with the auto than the manual... If you...
Will the brakes from the 2.5RS fit inside the smaller wheels ? I noticed having had 3 different legacies that the brake pads are all different, depending on if...
Yeah, the 2.5RS brakes are the same as some of the Legacy's. Subaru's really good about sharing parts or at least making them modular. the stock OBS will...
The site's sure been pretty quiet for quite a while now. This post is in response to an old discussion of OBSs vs WRXs vs WRX stis - and my feeling that sports...
That would certainly be a fun car. That's one of the ones I've always wanted in my stable at some point. (: Levi ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
My current desire for a "fun" car is to drop a WRX motor into my wife's 98 Outback, make it a bit of a sleeper. Never going to be as fun as something like an...
Heck, might as well go for the STi motor then. I dunno about "not as much" fun, just a different kind. The MR2 would be more nimble, but there is definite...
There is an external trans filter on some models, from about 99 on. There is probably still a screen on the pickup inside the pan as well. Glen ... From:...
Good one's certainly aren't very easy to find. Toyota made some very desirable design improvements in '93, but were so pricey that they weren't selling very...
Sounds like Glen knows more about this than me. I've never noticed a spin-on on either of our 97's. And only dealing with the trannies really was having the...
Yea, I thought the 98 Legacy L was going to have the filter, but it didn't. If I understand, the switch came in about 1999, maybe 2000. Hang out on the...

I have wanted an OBS for about 4 years...today at 3pm I have to make my decision. I amd stuck between the 2007 black Special edition Impreza sedan (5MT) which...
Personally, I'd say it comes down to how much stuff do you or might you carry? If it's going to be much very often, I'd go with the OBS. If you hardly ever...
