Umm I have a 96 Impreza Outback with a 2.2l engine, which I bought with 103k, I have had to put a clutch into it brakes and tires, that's it. We drove it 22k in 11 months with no other repairs except fluid changes, I consider it very reliable what type of issues are you speaking about I don't quite understand? My one issue with Subaru's is the door frame thing, it's an interesting idea to have framelss windows but inevitably those things deveop air leaks which are a pain in the rump roast and can be extremely annoying.

NE Philadelphia here...

Ok I do have an awd vehicle, and it is as you said, slightly worn tires in the rear new tires up front, so your telling me I have to replace the almost new tires in the rear? Sigh, could you please elaborate on what type of problems could develop and why as I really don't have another $170 to spend in this weeks budget. Will it be ok if I drive it a week or 2?? Thanks. Jay.

Ok I have a question, I have done the following Changed oil and filter changed air filter replaced front tires with a really nice set Cooper tires After I did that the car engine sounds much better and the alignment problem evaporated, the 2 bad tires where on the drives side and I think the belts where shifting as well as being unbalanced gave me the problem. I do get however a very slight sway at excessive speeds, umm like 90 and above, I may have topped off at 102 or so and the engine was solid and could almost certainly go higher. My tach was only at about 4500 or so, however I get that damn sway which I do not like, I don't like going above 90 with the damn sway, it is very minor but still there. So how do I get it to go away, like on a permanent basis??

Is it a manual transmission, when my clutch was on the go I would get some horrible burning smells at times with my 96 impreza outback.

Ok Frag wins the prize but you where both correct, since I am new here I have no idea if you have pm's or what, but send me your addy and what sports ya like and I'll send a reward your way, thanks a bunch. Ok changed the wiper blades, air filter, will get tires and brakes wed, the left brake light is out and I replaced the bulb and it didn't work still so I think maybe bad socket, looks clean though no rust. Well I have some pictures let's see if I can figure out how to u/l them will try in a min. Can anyone tell me how to post pictures, i don't see any toggle for it, ????

Ok I have a problem I went to replace the air filter, finally got the case open with some nudging and a little smack. Replace the filter now the car will start and run very briefly but then cut out quickly, it would go down the street but stall out in 5 yards, I have cut off the air supply or restricted I figure. But what did I do and how do I fix it, I am ************ting a brick so PLEASE help. Jay. I need this dang car for work, shiznitz.

Car has very good heat and the ac works well too, when I first bought it I had the ac on for about 20 mins and didn't realize it. Watched the gauge like a hawk, right about dead center even at 80-85 which I did for a nice little bit on 295. Needs tires, gets squirly on rare occasions upon start up from a dead stop, not sure if it's the bands shifting in the tires or an alignment problem, we will see. There is some type of leakage in the exhaust I seem to think it is about mid body, but will check into that in the morning. The car starts right up runs very well, with the exception of the above problems, oh I also think it needs brakes and maybe rotors, slight pulsing occasionally on the brakes, will take it to be ins pected on Wednesday. Will try and post some pics of the vehicle tomorrow, one last ?, so your saying this vehicle has the 2.5 motor, I thought it was the 2.2 ok , I may have bought the wrong air filter tonight have to see in the morning. Thanks for all the help.

Well the wife and I left a deposit on a 98 Subaru Impreza L 4 door this evening, it has 160,000 miles on it and ran very nicely. The brakes didn't seem to do a great job on a panic stop going about 50 or so, I am thinking they need to be replaced, since this is only our second suby I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what I should look at and what should be replaced, figuring brakes, spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, set of tires<eventually>. If anything should be added to my little list please let me know. Thanks for all the helpful info found on this forum. Jay.

Hi, I'm going to look at a suby wagon on Saturday, it has 170,000 miles it's stick with a new clutch in 12/05. What should I look for on this vehcile, the individual who owns the vehicle is the original owner, she said the only problem it has is that the idle slows when you stop or slow down considerably. Doesn't ever stall from what she said, any idea's on what the problem could be? She's asking $950 I think I can get her to about $5-600, opinions??? Any help would be greatly appreciated, nice to check out this foru, lots of helpful info. Jay.
