Turbo or non-turbo motors lose the same percentage of power. The turbo's just have more to begin with so the effects are not as evident.

A 1882 Brat, wow that is a rare one!! Not any really big changes from 00-03, 03 has bigger brakes but other wise same vehicle.

Thanks for the info! I just looked at the chains I got are pretty trashed. I saw some at Costco last night for $35 so might just grab a new set. I have also seen those cable type, might look into those also. Thanks

I totally Agree, you should not need a wrench to get it on or off, if so you are putting it on to tight. When I 1st buy a car if one is stuck on I use the screwdriver method to get it off.

Can you put chains on an AWD Subaru? If so would you put them on the front? I got a pair for cheap at a yard sale and just wondering if I ever needed them if I would hurt the car by using them?

Stop going to the dealership!! Subaru's are great cars and a local Subaru specialty shop will be a much better place. Cheaper and they are way better at diagnosing issues. I do not have any recommendations since I am in CO, but I sure someone here will know one.

Fluid change will not help, the VC is a sealed unit inside the tranny, it does not share fluid with the transmission/diff. Sorry

95 was last year for FWD 2.2 Legacy. There has never been a FWD Outback, outbacks started in 95 and have always been AWD.

Previa are nice, but death traps. We looked into one for our family van, and saw their one star crash rating. No thanks If you do not need/wand AWD you might also look at Honda Accord Wagons. They too are rare but great vtec motors, great mpg, and very reliable vehicles. We had a 93 EX wagon, great little car, but again very hard to find a 5spd.

The LS was the top of the line in 92. Power wind, doors, ac, cruise, sun roof, etc. Could be AWD or FWD.

Hello Justin, Subaru is just as reliable durable as Volvo. And if you are comparing a outback vs. 850/S70 AWD there is no comparison. Do someone here have the video of the Outback and the Volvo hill climb test? The AWD in Subaru is far superior to any Volvo system. And the 2.5 has some HQ issues, but even if it blows it is a $1200 fix and you are good for another 150k.

Check out this linkhttp://www.cars101.com/legacy.html 2.2 Horse power 95&96 130hp 97&98 137hp 2.2 with 5 spd is a great combo. No all Legacy models are AWD, 4wd was dropped in the US in 89?Loyales were AWD push button after 89 I think that AWD is only 1-2 MPG loss, I have heard the weight is actually the mpg loss not the AWD system. No problems with the system, can get torque bind if you do not keep the same sized tires. None. http://www.cars101.com/legacy.html Do you mean alloy? They have never had titianium.

Congrates!!! You will love it!! I like my 96 OBW best of any I have owned!!

What a dealership that did not tell the truth. What is next you will find out that this was not owned by a little old lady? Did you get the vehicle inspected by an independent shop before you bought it?Do you really think a shop that is selling a vehicle will give you a through inspection of a vehicle they are selling? This is one of life’s lessons. How do you know a car sales person/dealership is lying? Their lips are moving. I am sorry that you had to learn this way. When you buy a vehicle that is as is used from a dealer after you sing the paper work it could implode and there is little or nothing you can do about it.

Yep that is correct. Just disconnect the battery.

They are ok. I have driven a few, I am not a big Auto fan so I am biased. Kind of disappointing compared to the 5spd sedan.

Way too small, they will not clear the brake pistons.

A legacy with AWD will not get as good gas mileage as a front wheel drive only camry. But a lot depends on driving style. I have a 96 outback wagon 2.2 5 spd and get 28-30 highway 75mph on my daily 100 mile commute. No in 90-94 there was an ride height option system that raised and lowered the vehicle that was problematic, but other than that suspension issue are very rare in Subaru’s. I know the subaru is non-interference; I am not sure about the Camry. No major tranny issues with subaru 5spd at all, very stout units. No in 90-94 there was a ride height option system that raised and lowered the vehicle that was problematic, but other than that suspension issue are very rare in Subaru’s. I know the Subaru is non-interference; I am not sure about the Camry. No major tranny issues with Subaru 5spd at all, very stout units. Toyota are engineered very good also, easy to work on. Both are very nice compared to say Nissan were you have to take 4 parts off to get to the one you need. Not really any trouble areas in 2.2 subarus. No comparison here at all. The parts for Toyota are shocking expense new or used or junkyard. Example my 87 truck alternator $550 dealer, napa $400, junk yard, $200. Toyotaparts are more expensive they Mercedes parts. They are very hard to find cheap parts for and you run into issues if you use non-oem parts on them. 100k is nothing for a Subaru. You can get 300k out of a 2.2 car. But the same can be said for Toyota. I think about same ride height. Subaru stopped making front wheel drive cars in 95. So 96 up are all AWD cars. Not sure about your area but here it is very hard or impossible to find FWD Subaru’s. Toyotas are great cars but when they break, they are unbelievably expensive. Subaru’s are very good vehicles, and when the break the do not break the bank like a Toyota will. Plus how many Camry board like this do you see? No many because they are pretty boring cars, looks driving, etc.

Do the auto's get lower than the 5 spds?My 91 with 120k gets 28-30 my 96 OWB gets 29-31.

I would not rec. converting to 134, it will not work as well as r12. Side by side a r12 system works better than a r134 esp. when it was made to run on r12.

Sounds like you drive like I do!!Thanks for the advise, I will check them out for sure!!

I just wish there were more snow reviews on the tires. But they look great and I am thinking of getting them for sure.

96-99 2.5 have some HG issues, but still great cars and have lot of power. 2.2 is a more reliable motor HG wise. I own both. Outback sits higher, great for getting to biking hiking trails, etc. Lower greared, heated seats, etc but basically the same otherwise Move to Colorado. 7000 feet a 2.2 is not fast or stupid fast. 2.2 turbo is fast and best motor subaru has ever made!

They are basically the same but in the states redline 7.99 qt Castrol 29.99 qt.
