My '95 Outback has dual front airbags. I know that the driver's side one
was standard but I believe the passenger side one was optional on the bare
bones Legacy base model. Before that, I believe the Legacy had only the
driver's side airbag as standard, and that style was the first Legacy from
around 89-90. Can't comment much on the Impreza, Loyale, XT, and SVX, which
were available around the time airbags began showing up and/or being
required in some countries, but I'm reasonably sure that the SVX and Impreza
had at least a driver's side airbag.

If you're looking for a non-airbag Subaru, you'll need to go back to the
days of the 4x4 Subies, like the BRAT, GL, and DL.

Neither our 90 Legacy, bought in July of 89, nor our 92 L wagon has airbags.
