Just picked up a brand new 07 Impreza Outback sport. Is there anything that I should keep my out for? Any known issues?
Thanks,

Take care of your tires and rotate them at each oil change. Be prepared to purchase 4 tires if one goes bad prematurely.
Use whatever grade of gas the owner's manual suggests.
if you have specific issues get back to this newsgroup or consider reading/joining
some accessories can be found at ebay (cargo nets, dog barriers, roof rail cross pieces, etc.)

1 Lucky TexanThe handling is great on the sharp turns. This is the first subaru I owned/drove. Will a K&N air filter help the performance at all? This is a non turbo model..
Thanks
Unfortunately, there is not much in the way of easy mods that will significantly increase the acceleration of NA soobs.(join your local SCCA and autocross it - forget 1/4, 1/8 mile racing) Intake and exhaust MAY give you a few ponies. Lightened crank and accesory pulleys MAY allow a little faster spin-up, as would a lighter flywheel. Lighter alloy wheels may be worth doing for reduced unsprung mass, reduced rotating mass and 'aestethics'. Do you NEED a back seat or passenger seat? (hah!) every 8-11 pounds removed is like adding 1hp (approx.) There are PLENTY of bits to increase cornering grip/dynamics.

I won't comment directly on K&N-style filters except to say there is occasional controversy about using them.
