It fits any car with OBDII (except a few Lotus' etc, has a list in the thread).
Did you read any of the thread?
Everyone who's bought one has been more than happy, it tells you excatly how fast your going, how much fuel, intake temps, coolant temps etc etc (instead of having a gauge that always sits on 1/2 way all the time or relying on the fuel gauge with has been proven many times to be fairly inaccurate), can read and reset CEL's.
I'll be ordering one in a week or two.

Yeh i did read the post but as i looked around i have found this info
http://www.scangauge.com/support/Compat ... cles.shtml which doesn't list my car. or many Subaru's for that matter. also i had a discussion with another person who thought the Subaru's tended to run a slightly different setup??? i guess I'm just wanting to cover myself.
i does look like a good piece of kit all the same and i may get one yet. Could you do a review for the forum when you get yours up and running.
