#911 of 10833 Safety by johntracker

Mar 26, 2004 (2:24 am)

Hi,
 
You might like to know that the new Outback / Legacy wagon with side + curtain airbags has just scored the highest ever safety rating (35.52 out of 37) & 5 stars in the new car assessment program. The cars without the head (curtain) airbags were also tested and became the first cars ever without side head airbags to score 5 stars (at a slightly lower outright score).
 
These links to articles might work...

There's lots more out there.
 
I have the full NCAP results in front of me that I printed off from their website yesterday. Do you think I can remember the URL today... or the way I got there?... nope!
 
I will repost if I find it.

rob: they are on the Forester, maybe not on the Legacy, though.
 
Good news about the safety scores.

#913 of 10833 premium and speakers by luck11

Mar 26, 2004 (11:26 am)

gearhead: It was supposed to take premium? Hmmm I had my 91 Turbo for 8.5 years and did not have any probs with the engine using reg/mid grade.
 
Speakers: I installed a higher-end pioneer deck w CD in my 00 OB soon after delivery. The installer gave me a demo after install, and commented several times how pleasantly surprised he was with the stock speakers. Although he could have profited, he recomended against changing them unless I was willing to spend big $$$. The speakers sounded horrible with the the stock deck. I still have the stock speakers (added the 2 tweeters on the door) and am very happy with the sound.

Thanks! I'll pay them a visit this weekend - or on the way home.
 
The Outback sedan gets no respect... I've liked it since I first saw it in the old (pre-2000) body design...must have been 1998...
