Asked by Mark Jan 22, 2016 at 11:21 PM about the 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited

Question type: General

Many engines today are higher compression than years ago,  but,  what is really
high compression?    I've read that 12 to 1 or higher engines don't last as long
as those with 10 to 1 or lower?    Is that true?

There are no standards. Are your tires tall?

I've had my car for sale for over a week. When I search for it it comes up fine. The problem is that under "Contact Seller" is my name and my email address. When I tried to respond to myself, nothing happened. I just called a friend who found the "Contact Seller" space without my name or email. He responded and it worked. But what about the fact that it has not worked up until now and I've dropped the price $2500? 1 Answer
