Subaru does not seem to recommend anywhere the use of ethanol.  Can
Subaru reset it's computers etc. to adapt to ethanol?
Or can we just use ethanol in a Subaru?

I always wear the damn thing, and always will, EXCEPT for this one
thing:  when I get home, I get out of the car to get my mail from the
box across the street.  Then I need to drive down the driveway we share
with 3 other houses.  It's 0.1 mile long.  I don't want to have to put

I have a 1992 Subaru Loyale 4x4 wagon, about 259000 kms.  (first clutch, I
believe)
1st Problem: when slowing up to a stop light, with the clutch pedal down,
the car seems to jerk along until the brake finally stops it.

Haven't you noticed that almost all wagons have these airfoils at the rear edge
of the roof?  These are not spoilers, they are air deflectors which direct air
down over the rear window to keep it clear of dirt, snow, etc.
Just drive the same car with and without one and you will see ...

Seats are not adjustable for back support. Are there any really good
aftermarkets ?
Thanks,

I've read all the horror stories about aftermarket catalytic converters
melting heads, torching upholstery, etc., etc., but there are still
some folks who say "there are acceptable aftermarket cats for Subarus."
Who makes them?  Anyone here had a good experience with an aftermarket

I used to be a service manager at a car dealership (not subaru), I
always get my service done there, and I am still quite good friends
with the owner, the current manager was one of my employees. They
always treat me good.

some long time when the battery was removed. In addition to this I
found a keyless entry module under the steering wheel and I dont have
the remote (it was bought from the insurance auction). Nevermind the
fact car was hit slightly in the front, airbags didnt deploy. I turn

I am thinking of getting a WRX, but notice that they don't come with
cassette players anymore. Has anyone figured out how to listen to yor
iPod ? Transmitters like iTrip don't work well in cities, where there
are lots of radio stations.

My Cd player just went kaput.  Does anyone know of defects or problems
with this model?  Does anyone know if the 6 disc cd/cassette player
from a WRX/STI or forester is compatable?

What kind of gas mileage have people been getting on the newer
Foresters? I only have 500 miles on mine so far (5 sp., premium
package) but I'm only getting 18-19 mpg. It's been pretty much all city
driving (mostly rush hour too) with some highway thrown in. I do hope

After having my new Forester for a few weeks I know I need to upgrade
the sound system. I have the premium package with the 6 cd changer and
from what I've read, what will make the most difference is to replace
the speakers, so I plan to buy better speakers for the front anyway. If

I have a 2000 Outback (2.5L, auto) with about 80,000 miles.  It has
been a great car with virtually no problems.  Recently when starting
in the morning in cold weather, there is a strong smell of gasoline --
like someone has poured gas inside the interior of the car.  It is

I have a '98 Subaru Legacy AWD with 100k miles.  When you rev, it's
louder than it seems it should be and the usual engine noise sound is
accompanied by another gurgling noise.  It sounds kind of like a
low-pitched bicycle chain click and is constant.  My girlfriend calls
