alexxdj1 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This has been covered already, however mostly in application to the GT model. I made a poor decision in letting my gf take off for a night and a day in my SE and noticed hestation. I am not sure if she drove in autostick the entire time in first gear but I'm aware that she also put the lower grade fuel which I am unclear if this would be a contributing factor in my model. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRoc7822 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Is the SE the same as the 2.5i? I thought the 2.5i you could put 87 in but the GT being turbo'ed is the one that required higher octane fuel? You can either drive it till you need gas and add the higher octane stuff or if your really really concerned then you can siphon(sp?) out the gas. I had a girl once drive off in 1st gear.. luckily I was in the car and quickly realized it and switched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver04RS Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 fuel wont matter in your car and if she was pegged on redline as long as it wasnt pinned on the freeway it should be fine I think you dont trust her and your head is getting the best of you my advice... go play with her sister for an evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexxdj1 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 @ Silver, her sister is the ugly one. And as hott as the gf is, I am much more in love with my car(forgot to mention she put 200 miles on it inside of 24 hours) I am not very proficient as most Legacy owners, so I was concerned about the fuel grade or possible tranny damage. Ive always run the higher grade in my SE so maybe this is the reason why it seemed different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyBob Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 @ Silver, her sister is the ugly one. And as hott as the gf is, I am much more in love with my car(forgot to mention she put 200 miles on it inside of 12 hours) I am not very proficient as most Legacy owners, so I was concerned about the fuel grade or possible tranny damage. Ive always run the higher grade in my SE so maybe this is the reason why it seemed different. The fact that you've started a thread like this, posted a post like this, and didn't teach her to drive stick if it were a concern ahead of time tells me that you should probably take the car to a shop and be single for a while.

alexxdj1 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 @ Lucky, No kidding. I need to take it to the shop for sure. It's an autostick by the way, therefore anyone living typically would know how to drive such, hence the title if not...Outside of the relationship advice, do you have anything helpful to say?

slimjoe Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Is it just me or are people getting thrown off by the usage of the term "autostick"? The car is not a MT and it's like the sport function or whatever of an AT. That being said, what do you mean by hesitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell on my way back from NH a few weeks ago I passed her at about 120, I was in the Pink Beretta she had the Legacy... What did she do, she proceeded to blow my doors off while I was still doing 90+! Gotta love my Wife! It also helps that her Impreza is a 5-speed to begin with so she has always driven a stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doccrowley Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We always run 85 octane in my wife's 2.5i SE and 91 oct in my GT. I think you're paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't let her loose with the 05 since the last tune. She almost got it today, but I'd rather keep miles off the Spec, her DD is about 6 miles, mine is like 60. She have the car for a few day's.

tito_b0y Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've had people shift the auto all the way down to 'sport mode' so I guess I understand what the OP is saying. Nevertheless, if she did happen to do so, and engaged the 'autostick', it would automatically shift up at redline and shift back down to 1 after a full stop. Check your ATF and your oil, and stop using 91/93 octane. It really is a waste.

BAC5.2 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you didn't trust her, why did you let her drive it? Looking for an excuse to get mad at her? That's stupid. At any rate, it's fine. Reset the ECU, so all learning is reset, and then drive the car like normal. It's a 2.5i with an automatic. That engine and transmission combo has been around, probably, since before both of you were born. 200 miles isn't going to hurt it. It's just a normal car. It's not a race car, it's not fragile, it's just a car.

NAT01 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The best thing is to refer to what your car's manual says for fuel. Unsure about the SE's but I'm almost positive that they recommend 87 octane. I always joke to a friend with his TSX that he doesn't need premium fuel but since the manual says 87 octane is recommended and you "can use premium if wanted", well, you can guess what he wastes his money on with the car. -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
