#10599 of 10758 leg, knee problems with 05-09 legacy? by pd83 Oct 08, 2008 (7:31 pm)
For all of you who drive the 2005-09 Subaru Legacy, do you experience any leg or knee pain or problems while driving? I read that it's due to the position of the acceleration pedal(hidden behind console). I took it for a test drive but I don't think I will feel anything off one drive. I'm thinking of leasing the 09 Legacy. Replies to this message: jeffmc (Oct 09, 2008 10:38 pm) cptplt (Oct 10, 2008 3:41 pm)

Replying to: pd83 (Oct 08, 2008 7:31 pm) We've got an '06 Outback & '06 Legacy... no problems for my wife or I. I'm about 5'7" tall and she's about 5'6". If you get a model with a power seat, it's easy to vary your seating position on long trips, helping avoid fatigue from being in the same position for hours. The seats have got quite a bit of fore-and-aft travel to accomodate long- or short-legged drivers. I do wish mine had telescoping steering wheel - the '09s now do (finally).   Everybody's different, but there you have my take on Legacy's driving position.

I never noticed the passenger side wasn't a power seat before I purchased it, looking back, I may have sprung for the Bean version which comes with the power seat on that side. My wife who is 5 3 is fine as far as her legs go but feels all the seats are too firm for her.

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Sep 01, 2008 10:35 am) There is someone who's created a way to patch in an iPod to an '05 over at legacygt.com. Search for the jazzy board or the username jazzymt. It requires some modification of the stereo and that you run a "silent" CD, but seems like something anybody that can turn a screwdriver can handle. I have no experience with it so YMMV.   As for the bluetooth, I was in the same boat as you and found that a Parrot bluetooth kit with the quick connect harness provided by www.quickconnectproducts.com was very easy to install. I got the MK6100 for it's integrated mics and low profile look.   If you read back a few pages you'll find that I went a different route for the iPod and upgraded my stereo/climate control head unit to one from an '07 model Legacy (that will plug right into your '05 and work with no modifications) and then bought an iPod integration kit for an '08 Impreza that will work with any head unit that is satellite radio capable (so likely anything newer than '07 as well).   Cheers! -Ian

#10604 of 10758 Tire Recommendations by khallock Oct 24, 2008 (5:58 am)
I need new tires on my 2005 LLBean Outback. The tire size is 225/55R17. It has the original tires on it now and they are completely bald. I am changing to winter tires in another 4 weeks and then in the spring will need to purchase new tires - any recommendations? Obviously something that will last and is safe. I always change over to snow tires in the winter.   Thanks! Kristen Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Oct 25, 2008 7:52 am)

Replying to: khallock (Oct 24, 2008 5:58 am) Yokohama Avid H4S/V4S series is an excellent tire. Long lasting, great handling, durable, and inexpensive. I have it in both of my cars, and my relatives have it on some of theirs, never a problem.
#10606 of 10758 Passenger Seat Sensor by jdduncan Oct 27, 2008 (5:03 pm)
I have a 2005 Outback and the seatbelt light flashes when no one is in the seat. I took care of the chime based on information in the other posts. Has anyone else had the passenger seat belt light come on when no one is in the seat? If so, what is the cause and how do you fix it?   Thanks, John Replies to this message: julianh (Oct 27, 2008 6:22 pm)

Replying to: jdduncan (Oct 27, 2008 5:03 pm) I had that problem in my 2005 outback 2.5xt. It was related to the weight sensor embedded in the passenger seat. It thinks someone is seating there and should put their belt on. My wa sunder warranty so the dealer end up replacing the seat sensor. I wonder if the sensor can be disconnected underneath if there is no warranty coverage. If you have a turbo version beware of the rubber tube feeding oil to the turbo. That tube should never have been made of rubber in such hot environment. Replace it with none subaru pipe for high temp application before it blows.
#10608 of 10758 Nokian WR or WRG2 for 06 Outback by riverrat3 Nov 07, 2008 (4:54 pm)
Hi All,   Looking at Nokian WR or WRG2 tires, 225-55/R17 to replace the worn out stock Potenzas on our 06 Outback.   I was just quoted $941 for 4 mounted and balanced by a local dealer (central Oregon). After doing some web searching to find a better price I turned up THIS link for "Hakkapeliita WR G2 AW" in the correct size, $788 shipped. I'd still need to pay for mounting and balancing, but I think I could still come in under the local dealer, or get them to price match.   But I thought "Hakkapeliita" was the name of some other Nokian tire model. Is this the WRG2 I want? Or are there different variants of WRG2s? The tread looks exactly the same, but this is the only site I've found that lists the model name this way...   I'm truly astonished at how much these tires cost, but they are supposed to be great tires. We're moving back to the west side of the Cascades, so we'll see mainly rain, but also occasional snow on ski trips and road trips during winter. These tires would be used year round.   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: goneskiian (Nov 10, 2008 6:08 pm) riverrat3 (Nov 11, 2008 9:51 am)
