Hi, is there a way to open the trunk from inside the car? I have not seen a knob to open the trunk and I need to take the key off the ignition if I want to use...
I just purchased on 08 OBS in the same color as the one on the Home page of this site. I also hope all the 08's do the following-otherwise I will have mine ...
no, your car can go several months with the system running. I have a similar set up in my Baja, and I have left it parked for more than a month once. Of...
does anyone have any info on the modifacation of the hood scoop drain? I read online that the water dains onto the oxygen senser wire and deteriates it.. John...
If it is like the 2000, push the unlock the doors button on the door. The back hatch will unlock, and you can open it up using the handle. I had the same...
~ One of my three sons just bought a 2007 WRX-STI and now he wants to get rid of his 1999 Outback Limited. Its got about 140K, leather seats and the extra...
The guy who put my new motor in and painted my Suby liked race and I like mountains. He put new KYB struts and now I think the car sits about an inch lower. I...
Okay, here's the bad news: After six years, 75,000 miles, one break- in, a leaking left side head gasket and one rear end hit, some guy in a black Caddy just...
I'd give the new OBS another chance. You'll probably get a biased answer though. Why don't you look around and see if you can find a held back 2007? There are...
Are those the ones with the Chrysler looking grill? Why, do you think they're better than the Toyota Matrix? And a biased answer from who? I really liked my...
It shouldn't sit any lower if just standard KYB struts were used. If anything there would be a slight chance for it to sit higher. Generally speaking you...
Shane, Ya know, I took your advice today. We stopped by the Toyota dealer to take another look at the Matrix, and then to the Subaru dealer to look at the...
From what I've read, the suspension on the new OBS is "refined" when compared to the older models. Supposedly, the whole car is much more rigid. I still went...
Yeah, I think the front suspension is still the same, but the rear is double-wishbone now. And you're right, they did strengthen the body structure as well....
I know some folks can't have the 5 spd because of traffic and all, but it gets much better MPG and performance. the 4 sp auto really is outdated. I've been...
My 1999 OBS is currently in the shop and, I think, on "Death Row." Though I love it dearly, it has been nothing but trouble from the day I bought it (used in...
Wow Christi, we should start the "Dead Subie's Society." I'm currently in a rental car, waiting to find out if my 2002 is going to be totaled. I've since...
No, an auto that saps power. I'd probably like the car a lot more if it had a manual. It's has to have twice the power of my MG. And only half again the...
That's interesting. Last I knew the Suby auto was NOT one I disliked. It actually got the same mileage as the manual versions and I haven't noticed a power...
It's just a feeling not a fact. I've never driven a stick version of a Subaru. To me, automatics takes you out of driving, put it in D and go. I do really...
The subie Automatics do have a better version of AWD. The gas mileage difference is there, and is exagerated by driving conditions. For example, my 2003 OBS...
Wow, I'm surprised you're getting 30mpg. I didn't think any of the Subies could reach there. I'm betting that must be on a pretty constant highway drive at...
I'm averaging between 23 and 26 on most fill ups on my 07 2.5 OBS with a stick. I have a roof basic which probably cuts off a mile or two during long trips....
Yeah, that's just about identical to my wife's 97' with a 2.2 and auto (or my old 97' OBS with auto) Though we have seen 27mpg occasionally. And actually...
