We purchased a 2012 Outback today. I have owned a 2000 Impreza and a 2004 Forester XT. Although not as fast, it is a huge improvement to my foz in terms of the trim quality and space. This is our new family car and my foz is being retired to be a fun project car for myself. I hope to learn all about the Outback through the community and make some more subie friends.
Here is my foz. I will take some pictures of the Outback soon.
Those are from a 2010 WRX hatch. For $100, I am willing to give it a shot. The curb weight is only 50kg less than the Outback. So hopefully the drop won't be too aggressive and I don't need to source some saggy butt spacers. The two sets of sway bars are from STIs of different years. I am debating on which one to put on.
how has the ride been? is the springs softer in the rear end? I'm about to put Legacy springs on my Outback and I've heard the rear springs are softer on the Legacy.

Pretty sure every wagon ever built has stiffer springs on the rear compared to the sedan twin. Guessing weight differences between sedan and wagon and the expected use of the wagon vs sedan. Not sure if the more flexible Wagon body plays into the stiffer springs or not?

Hello all,
I recently just purchased a 2010 Subaru Outback and I am glad I did. It rides great and was a lot cheaper than my truck. I am wanting to give it a cool look and hoping to receive some help here. Everything on it currently is stock. After a lot of thought, I am NOT putting a lift on...
Ayyyyy.
I've been reading the forums for a while now (ever since I decided to get an Outback) and I took the plunge yesterday so I figured it was time to stop lurking and get busy contributing. I just picked up a 2020 at Premier Subaru of Fremont and even after all the prep I am still blown...
I noticed this noise coming from the front of my car on the day I drove it home from the dealer in Feb. 2019. Have taken car in 3 times. Mechanics don’t hear it/“can’t replicate it”. They’ve asked me to record it but too “faint” a noise for that. It does not seem to relate to acceleration or...
Hello all!
We've got a 2018 Subaru Outback with a little over 21,000 miles on it. Since the cold hit about a month ago, the PSI in our tires has dropped, of course. My concern was/is that the rear passenger tire drops a lot lower than the others and continues to drop. We've aired it up and it...
Mostly looking for tips on what to do to get it sold. Had to buy something bigger for the growing family. Hard to let go of it but I can’t afford three cars. (Also have a 2000 BMW M Roadster and 2017 Highlander)
