The Subaru Outback is a crossover automobile manufactured by Subaru since 1995 Its original concept originated with Subaru of America which was suffering from slumping sales in the mid-1990s partly due to a lack of an entry in the then-burgeoning sport utility vehicle market Lacking the finances to design an all-new sport utility vehicle Subaru decided to add body cladding and a suspension lift to their Legacy wagon Christened the Legacy Outback after the rugged areas of Australia Australian actor Paul Hogan was the spokesman in the North American market playing off the Australian name of the vehicle and portraying the vehicle as a capable and more efficient alternative to larger truck-based SUVs All Outbacks sold worldwide are equipped with all wheel drive as standard equipment the only drivetrain setup available Sales exceeded expectations with Tim Mahoney Senior Vice President of Subaru of America stating Subaru introduced the Outback to Japan as the Legacy… Read More about subaru outback at WikiPedia

Latest subaru outback Questions:
I'm going off roading tomorrow but on a dirt road and it rained all day today, if anyone has a Subaru outback and experience with muddy roads can you let me know how it went? Mine's a 2001 and stick, by the way :) Thanks!
Answer:i own a 98 outback wagon and where as i don't go bogging with it i have had the fun of experiencing it in mud after several days of rain. it went well through it, scrubbed the belly pan trying to get out but as long as i kept the RPMs decent and didn't let it stall i went through the mess. granted this was mud that was to become my driveway but still it proved itself. just keep in mind that you have a short bit of clearance, and if you are using the stock tire size then its 70 series tires. so you'll be low to the ground. i installed 75 series tires on mine and gained an inch or better in the clearance. treat it good and don't envision it as a 4x4 mudwaller. Cheers, James
I used to own a mercury sable station wagon that could seat 8 people (three in the front, three in the rear and two in the cargo area). I swear Ive seen a subaru outback with a similar feature before, but Im not sure how to find a used one or whether or not they even exist. Was this an option at some point on that model?
Answer:The answer is no, for US model. The 3rd row seats in the outback may be an add-on cushion by the owner. When I drove my outback (the legacy), I used to put a thin mattress and by the night time, I flip the rear seat all the way down to the flat position. Now I have a bed in the rear seat and I can stare through the dual roofs to see the stars... This is not a feature from the Subaru...but I think that is how they designed the 'option' for the driver to use.

The rear spoiler busted off the back of our 2006 Subaru Outback. Now we cannot get the car out of park, the check engine light is coming on and cruise control won't work. Is this all related?
Answer:If your rear spoiler had a break light in it then you may have an electrical short that MAY be causing other problems. Long shot but probable.

I am not good at sales and I really like this Subaru Outback Legacy wagon. It is smaller than a SUV but still has all wheel drive and good on gas. My problem is all the dealers are so far away that it is such a ordeal to get it there and wait that I am going to have to sell it. I just wondered if there was a better season to sell and how to advertisve. I really like this Subaru but the drive to dealers is to far away. Sandy I meant to asl sell a Subaru.
Answer:If I understand correctly, you are happy with your Outback but unhappy about the lack of any nearby convenient Subaru dealer and have, therefore, reluctantly decided to sell your Outback. That's so sad. First, I want to make sure that you understand that it isn't necessary to have a Subaru dealer perform the periodic maintenance described in your Warranty & Maintenance booklet, like oil changes, filter replacement, etc.. Such maintenance can be performed by any competent local mechanic or repair shop. Just be sure that all of the work performed is documented and that you save that documentation. You only need to take your Outback to a Subaru dealer when you experience a problem which would be covered by a Subaru warranty. I would imagine that now would be the best time to sell a Subaru in Tennessee. This is the season when many people start wishing they owned a vehicle with all-wheel drive, like a Subaru. I would try to get an idea of your Outback's value using tools like http://www.edmunds.com and http://www.kbb.com . Then I'd advertise it in my local paper's classifieds and in any local free classifieds paper like the Thrifty Nickel.
so i have a 09 subaru outback. obviously not a huge tuner car. but since the wrx sti is technically still an impreza . . . would parts still work for my car? by parts i mean body kit/ground effects etc. (mainly exterior stuff) and also exhaust, suspension, maybe even intake . . . nothing huge just wondering. thanks for your answers. thanks. what about exterior stuff? that site has pretty much all performance parts . . .
Answer:Suspension parts may be about the only thing interchangeable. But they are designed to be quite aggressive on a heavier car so on your car, they may be way too stiff and extremely bouncy.Body kits are not going to work since the STI is an Impreza but the wade body makes it quite different dimensionally. Exhaust is also different in both the way it routs under the car and the quad tips would not work with the bumper made for one tip. And the intake is completely different. Are you thinking of buying used stock STI parts? There are plenty of aftermarket parts for your car if you search around. Try Rallitek.com for one.
With nowadays gas prices, i find it very irritating to drive an all wheel drive vehicle during the summer. I currently own a Subaru Outback Legacy 97 and for the most part i love it. However it seems kinda ridiculous to drive it in all wheel drive all the time. Is there any way that i could modify my car so that i could switch from AWD to Front or Back wheel drive? I want to save as much gas as i can lol. thanks!
Answer:you already get great milage why get more.and no you cant do it.
I know some subaru outbacks have seats in the trunk, I am wondering if you can install seats in the trunk of a subaru outback if the car does not have seats in the trunk.
Answer:You sure can, you can buy the parts needed to latch everything down from the dealer or ideally pull them from another Outback. That way you can just transfer all the parts needed.
