I'm actually looking in the Forester threads for some info, but saw this thread and wanted to note . I traded in my 99 Outback Sport on my 04 Forester. It was a manual. It was a great vehicle and fun to drive. I put 147K miles on it and only put front brakes on once, a timing chain, one set of tires at 80K and regular maintenance. The original BF Goodrich TA's were awesome and I replaced them with the same and the dealer still had two of them on when re-sold at 147K. These are great tires for the Outback Sport for those of you looking at tires. That was my second Subaru. I finally traded it in on the Forester because I was staring brakes, clutch, timing chain, (front quarter panel replacement/oops), and a few other things (2,500 worth total) and an 04 Forester with clutch in MY colors was sitting on the lot and my dealer wanted to get rid of it bad in Feb 05. I got it cheap (checked here) and they still gave me 2,200 trade in on the Outback Sport (I was facing approx 2,500 worth of repairs, maintenance). Well, I got the goodies out of my Outback Sport and I still see it around with a cute blond driving. Her dad called before buying. They sold it for 4K. I love Subarus. That was a great vehicle. |

I had a 95 impreza which I loved seats were comfortable. Went looking at the 06 impreza and found the redisigned seats small and uncomfortable. The side bolsters are hard and the seat bottom is short. I'm only 5" 2 and decided on the Legacy. I wanted the impreza wagon. Can anyone who has the newer impreza tell me how they feel driving for long distances and even around town. Thank you

hello, i posted above about my clutch vibrating when depress or release the clutch throughout all gears. sometimes this is pronounced, sometimes it is not... i can't get to the dealer for another 10 days. am i okay to be driving around with the clutch behaving like this? i love my outback sport, but this is very worrysome. the tech at the dealer suggested letting the clutch 'slip' to reduce vibration in the meantime. i have no idea what this suggests... sorry to be so bothersome!

Replying to: welsasser (May 31, 2006 10:03 am) I bought two quarts of oil. I put the first quart in, let the car sit for about five minutes, then checked the oil level...the dipstick was still dry. I added another quart, let the car sit for another five minutes, and then checked the oil...the dipstick was still dry. I ended up adding a little over three quarts of oil, to the point where the dipstick level was about halfway between L and H. When I got back home, I took the car to the dealer and explained the situation to them. They checked for leaks and found none. They did an oil/filter change and I am scheduled to go back to the dealer this Wednesday (8/30/2006) for an oil consumption test. I will post another message when I get the results of that test. |

My 2006 subaru outback sport was hit by someone at night while it was parked in a parking lot. The SOB ran away without leaving anything but some glass on the ground probably from the headlight of his car. The fender of my car is totally destroyed. The bodyshop is going to order a new fender from subaru and put it on. Do you guys have an idea how much the reasonable charge would be and how long this would take. My car is made in Japan, where will the ordered part be shipped from? Japan or Subaru US? Thanks.
