Then it looks like my memory is rusty and 1995 was the year when all 2.2 engines were switched to OBDII.
-
In 1995, 2.2 l engine was available on Impreza with auto transmission only, which was the combination that received OBDII that year. A pre-OBDII 2.2 could still be found in a Legacy with manual transmission, like in previous years.

At least IAC and TPS are different between 1.8 and 2.2. The TPS might still fit on a 2.2 throttle body, or perhaps the throttle body can be swapped as a unit. The 1.8 l IAC does not look like it will fit on a 2.2 intake manifold, but maybe a 2.2 unit will plug into a 1.8 harness and will accept the input from the 1.8 ECU.

You need to consult the FSM for the original engine option re . the vacuum lines and engine wiring. In the US, 1995 was the first model year for OBDII, but only for 2.2 l engine and not for 1.8, hence big diffrence between the two.

So you got a really good deal on that Subaru, but came here to complain. How odd. As to LaCrosse being better in the snow, there are two reasons one can think of as to why you may feel that way: [1] it has traction control and [2] you don't know how to drive. Of course, both [1] and [2] have to be present simultaneously.

The only "crock" here is that you failed to make yourself familiar with the maintenance schedule prior to buying, and that, as others said, allowed the dealer to extract from you the proverbial boat payment. Nothing unexpected really took place. The seats, for example, did not suddenly shrink in size after you handed over the money. As to AWD being not as good as expected, what were the expectations? Lastly, there's nothing in your post to support the specific assertions made by the OP, contrary to the opening sentence.
