This time I did not say that “Subaru doesn't offer” diesel, but I’ve said however that Subaru ... Read More...

>> A true manual transmission, for starters, rather than an autotragic. Mitsu backed out on offering a dual-clutch gearbox Manual transmission is offered on Outlander in other markets: in USA demand for that 20th century technology is very low. The Mitsubishi’s dual-clutch marvel obviously is not for this price segment where the antique 4-speed automatics ... Read More...

I've something similar on my '99 Galant. Both AC and heat seem to not really be working right when the vehicle is stopped. I notice it more at long stoplights while in Drive v. in Park but then I rarely sit for long periods in Park. What seems to work for me is to not run the fan on the highest setting. On lower settings the problem doesn't seem to come up. Read More...
