1995 is the first year for the Outback version of the Sport Wagon and also for the 2.2L engine to be used in the Impreza line.

The all new 1995 Outback Sport Wagon was a L Sport Wagon with the 'active safety group' plus special two-tone paint, Outback woven cloth seat material, raised white letter tires, cargo tray in the rear, roof rack, mud flaps, floor mats, and the Outback logos and graphics. The ground clearance was 6.3", the same as the L Sport Wagon.

Manual transmission available with 1.8L engines. The only 1.8L with auto. trans was on the base Impreza model
Automatic transmission available only with the 2.2 L engines. There were no 2.2L with manual. trans.

Economy: city/highway
1.8L fwd- manual 24/32, auto 24/30 (base Impreza model only)
1.8L awd - manual 23/28
2.2L awd 22/29

All-wheel-drive

0ptional on L models as a stand-alone option
Standard on L models with 'Active safety group' package (incl ABS, 4 wheel discs)

L : front disc, rear drum - no anti-lock

sport owners and turbo owners all love their cars right. they are both subarus right, one just does not have a turbo, so why is there all this bitching about sports being improved/enhanced. This really pi$$'s me off big time.

if you have nothing nice to say, do not say anything at all.

oh yes i do own a sport and am very proud of it to, and when i am out driving, i get as many wave in the sport as i do in the ra.

Completely correct, Sports up to the MY96 had rear discs. 97 was the change over to drums. Daft move if you ask me, but they did.

And I am Tez, I agree with you. A scooby is a scooby at the end of the day, ok they aren't all as quick in a straight line, but who buys a scoob for straight line speed ;D

Could this car just have been a real classic turbo with the peashooters still on? You don't really get your burble anyway until you change you backbox.

Is it a sport made to look like a turbo?....perhaps i'm completely mistaken and it had equal length headers and was very modified....or is it something completely different with a Classic bodykit....who knows?.....And as for the colour.....difficult to see in the twilight but it looked as though it was sprayed in that pyschodelic colour that you see so many Novas spayed in these days.
.......confimation that the Classic is perhaps fast becoming something that we hoped it wouldn't.

However, most importantly, I still enjoy my Classic and will not let it put me off....i think.
