Painter,

Since you are new to Subarus, you may want to spend some time on the "search" section of the new generation Subarus. That is the forum where I wrote Delayed Forward Engagement. Subies are great cars, only weak spot on the 99 is the head gaskets. They tend to go bad, and in doing so, pump exhaust gas into the cooling system to cause engine over heating.

Also, unless you can find a receipt for timing belt replacement, and TB pulleys, you will want to replace them. A broken TB will result in bent engine valves. That is bad.

All wheel drive is great is slippery weather. You will love how your car handles winter snow and ice.

Regards,

Larry (Rooster2)
