Subies of yesteryear in the U.S. used to have the lo-range 4wd and it was
great.  They did away with it after the dawn of the Legacy but I've heard
other countries still have the option, is this true?  If so why?

I got a 2000 Legacy L wagon two weeks ago. Last night, I installed a
new stereo in it. I followed the directions that Crutchfield sent
along. Arrogantly, I skipped the step about disconnecting the battery.

Guys, I've bought my Subaru 2002 from nonSubaru dealer and dealer didnt

1991 Legacy. Leaking oil from the RH cam cover. And also a lot of what
sounds like tappet/follower noise.
How big a job is it to adjust the valves? I'm not even sure if it's a

versa?
I am seeking a decent AWD car for a good price, good reliability and
always decent cost.

Does the 1983 1800 Engine have a timing chain or belt?  if so where is it?
