What happens if I "ride" my Subaru's brakes?

Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Subaru tow?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Impreza’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

How often does my Impreza transmission fluid need to be checked?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 Impreza’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Subaru. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.

Can transmission fluid leak from my Subaru Impreza?
