February 20, 200719 yr Ok I realize that the general consensus is that Haynes is better in general, but for those of you that have both the latest 00-06 manuals is the Haynes manual good enough or should I supplement it with the Chilton manual?

Neither of them are worth much, get yourself a FSM, this is the only way to go unless you are looking for info on oil changes and wiper blade replacement.
February 20, 200719 yr i agree with rweddy i have no use for either one, how are the factory manuals, anyone know ?
February 20, 200719 yr Do you know where the best and cheapest place is to get the F.S.M. Neither of them are worth much, get yourself a FSM, this is the only way to go unless you are looking for info on oil changes and wiper blade replacement.
February 21, 200719 yr Do you know where the best and cheapest place is to get the F.S.M. I'm sure this wouldn't be the case with every public library in the land, but I've been to two different county libraries here in Oregon and they had all the manuals. One of libraries actually let you check 'em out, the other wouldn't but let you photocopy the pages. I don't think you'll find much cheaper... -V5
February 21, 200719 yr Your lucky our library only have the Haynes and Chilton.

February 21, 200719 yr You are not saying which type of Subaru you own. There are sometimes manuals availaible at those download websites that we have been told to believe are evil and nasty.
February 21, 200719 yr I dont know why people beat up hayens, i like haynes alot. I wont by a manual on CD as i prefer books. nipper
February 21, 200719 yr Author Thanx for the replies. I have a Haynes manual for my 94 Chevy S-10 that is fair enough, and back in my VW Bug days I used Haynes as well. I downloaded a portion of the FSM from the website(as much as I could get in the allotted time). I just like to have pictures in a book that doesn't cost me $200.
