I'm not 100% sure about the 96 Impreza, but the later model Impreza WRX 5-spd can easily be made into RWD by simply removing the front half-shafts. That might same some MPGs. Well, at least the car would be lighter. Jim in Tucson E85 EVO 13.6 MPG (OUCH!) In a message dated 8/31/2008 9:25:55 A.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
hi all, i found an AWD car that can do some towing, to replace my ranger. a 1996 Subaru Impreza 5spd 2.2l gasaroo showed paople getting high 20's for MPG, while others reported mid 20's, but my first check shows 24 MPG (not towing anything) I guess I was hoping for a little better since it';s a 5 speed and i dont drive like a maniac. any thoughts or experiences on a OTM that has AWD and can do light towing (at least 1200lbs)? if I didnt need AWD, I'd get a 94 - 97 Miata and put in big brakes and obviously some kind of FM power mods and have a do-it-all car, but the end of my street is a water access point and I like to put my small boat in there every so often. and we get snow a few times each winter. also, any general subaru experiences would be great. so far, I notice the car has a lot of torque at lower RPM,s from such a small displacement motor. the impreza also tight and while not very sexy as a 4 door, has clean lines and plenty of trunk space. it only cost $1600 with 125k on the clock anyone with any subaru (or other AWD/4WD) whats your everyday MPG? _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
