Couple of quick Q's
OK, so when did the facelift happen? were there any changes to the running gear in the turbo cars at this point? Finally, did any years not have the automatic seatbelts, or do they all have them?

In North America, the facelift started in the 1992 model year.carfreak85 wrote:OK, so when did the facelift happen?

US models all had them. At least some Canadian models did not.Finally, did any years not have the automatic seatbelts, or do they all have them?

carfreak - I love your garage! Is that really an '84 MT wagon?! I thought they were only autos.

thanks!
Yeah, I converted the turbo wagon to a manual, not quite done yet due to some terminal mantinance problems. So, opinions on the ABS systems, wich is better? I like 4channel, but the 3 channel one says that it can control each wheel independently. I kinda like the 91 model, but the later version seems to be better over all. But what years do the auto belts come on, I hate those!!!

FWIW, my vote is for a 91. It came with a rear LSD, oil cooler, and the brakes . . . well, I'm not sure about the comparison between the 91s and the 92-94s but my 91 stops BOATLOADS better than my 97 2.5GT!! The abs actually works rather than locking up under very slippery and bumpy conditions. But that's just my personal opinion.
However, the 92-94s will have less miles (usually).

I think the auto belts on the US models went away in '93. IIRC my sister's didn't have them. I think if the car has airbags, you should be safe on the belts as one or the other was used to satisfy the requirement for some form of passive safety feature, although I've seen some other cars with both.

Well, I'm positive (unless I happened to check a Canadian market car) that the '94's don't have the belts since I test drove one and I distinctly remember it not having them. It was a weird car, though, as it also had an AWIC, yet it appeared whoever had owned it treated it like any other car.

It was an Aegean blue (or something) Legacy turbo 5MT sedan. Standard badging and interior and gauges were imperial (I looked at a known Canadian car that had metric).

I wish now I had gotten pictures, but at the time I didn't realize the AWIC wasn't standard. I suppose it could've been fitted, but it seemed strange that everything else appeared stock (incl. turbo).

well
still need someone to check the seatbelts, but I think that the oil cooler i could do myself (porbably bigger too) and the LSD is easily converted. Who has driven a 91 and a later car and can tell me which ABS system is better? The pocket I dont care about, mostly it those belts i cant stand!

Option in 92, standard in 93 I believe. My friends 93 has the airbag but my 92 definitely does not. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

ciper - But we do have to admit the lighting is terrible on the 91s... even though the 91s are awesomer in every other regard.
Matt's got it about the airbag. Optional in 92, standard in 93.
