Power light

If you accelerate really fast, on a flat service, and the power light flashes on briefly, if this normal? Or is there yet another problem somewhere?

sounds normal to me...have you ever owned a suby with an automatic transmission before?

Only a Justy with an ECVT. All of my other subarus have been manuals.
This one makes me paranoid because of all the things I have heard about automatics in the SVX's.

I'm sorry

It was a brave move for the time...too bad they had reliability issues with those trannies.

Actually, surprising enough, I bought my justy with the ecvt from an older woman, it had 60k miles on it, and the ecvt was great, I had no problems during the time I had it, but I always thought it was a very loud car for being so small.

I had a 95 legacy and the manual transmission had bearings that went bad. Right after a clutch replacement. The 95 was the last subaru I had before this SVX. The legacy had transmission, engine, rack & pinion, and brake issues when I got rid of it, it needed something like 6k in repairs... thats what I get for buying a NYC car. Subaru's make me paranoid because of the problems I have had in the past. But i really love them in the winter.
