1995: The first Outback is a 1995 Legacy L wagon with special trim. This 1995 model is not the Outback as we know it.
1996: First year for the 'real' Outback. Also first year for the 2.5L engine, which in '96 runs on premium fuel and is only available with an automatic transmssion. The manual uses the 2.2L engine and has the hill holder clutch.
1997: the Limited Outback was introduced. A sedan version, the Outback SUS (short for 'Sport Utility Sedan') was available in very small numbers in the New England area only. The 2.5L engine is tweaked for 1997 and has 10 more hp than the '96 plus runs on regular fuel, not premium. The manual tranmission now uses the 2.5L engine and the hill-holder clutch is discontinued. New separate door lock switch. All models have a non-functional 'hood scoop', it's just for looks
so it looks like if it is a manual, it is a 2.2 but if it is an automatic, it could be a 2.5.

what he failed to mention is that most of the glass was broken out of it.
