I have heard of an online subscription for a service manual. Does anyone use this? Is it useful, and what is the web address?

 

Thanks, Ryan

It's the one thing I'm disappointed about, they're charging you to peek at the service manual, then putting a limit on the time or the amount of the manual you can download. They have several plans and fees.

Some owners have bought a CD off of the net for a few bucks with the entire manual on it, others say that a CD doesn't have the electrical diagram on it, others say buying the CD is immoral, they wouldn't do it.

I have a couple of Mazdas and the service manuals can be purchased in a smaller version than the three ring binder monster for a few dollars.

I don't remember what the Sub. factory site is. If you have an older subie you can probably get an aftermarket manual at any large auto supply.
