red beast Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 How wide were the wheels/tires you had on the 3.0R? Seems the way the new body style is, they can take some fairly wide wheels. michelin pilot a/s sports 235/50/18 dia 27.3" a little too big, they rub when turning. 9.4" width good all season tires better than the re92a or the bf goodrich kdws t/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 lgt wagons, boring, period. i've seen the lgt wagons in person they might be a little sleek but are still plain and boring. the 08 sedan looks far better. Oh, red beast, now I see you switched to the ultimate fugliness, 08 Outback Sport. Gotta love that painted faux pass cladding. But if that rocks you... all the power (2.5i) to you.

PGT Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Gotta love that painted faux pass cladding. what is this faux pass you speak of? is it how you get from Austria to Italy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 faux pass cladding = no real plastic cladding like on Outback, just painted imitation... Btw, did anyone notice that the front overhang on 2008 Impreza hatch is LONGER than rear overhang.... I can't remember another car with such a "feature"... http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/roadtests/firstdrive/2008/subaru.impreza.wrx/subaru.impreza.wrx.act.prf.2.500.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that rocks you... all the power (2.5i) to you. i get real paint for the two-tone. no clad and on the highway my little wheezer got 32 mpg with only 160 miles on it. with the ac on using cruise control at 65 i took the "sport" over the regular impreza because iz get rear disc brakes and the great .6" extra ground clearance.

The B4 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 It's fugly, period. After seeing it in person few times one get used to it, but it's still ugly, with the bulgy roof and hood. I think sedan looks somewhat better though. This all makes you wonder how next Legacy will look like. Bugeye > rest of them Voids everything you just said Congrats on the Sport Beast!

godwhomismike Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 unclemat - stop being a jerk off. Either say congrats or skip over the tread.

Whats up with that? no temp gauge on the outback either but then...who really needs one. when the engine is cold a blue light comes on in the dash by the tach. it goes off when the engine is warm enough.

Wow, beancounters targeting poor temp gauge! What light does come up if it actually overheats? It think it's very lame. Say, in mountain driving you can get coolant temp up from normal level. I'd like to know when the temp is somewhat elevated, before engine actually gets overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its got alot more to it than a Civic or Corolla. And the fact that it puts out 170 hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
