You need to tell us what model year of car you've got before we can answer that accurately.

On a newage, you can use generic OBD2 scanners to get an idea what's going on. However, you get far more detailed information at a faster refresh rate if you use something that speaks the Subaru-specific Select Monitor protocol.

Classics don't have OBD2 - they're SSM only (and there are three different types of SSM depending on which MY you've got) so a generic OBD tool (like the ones linked to by Bushiwarrior above) will be no use to you.

No direct Leggy experience, but common sense would suggest that the solution you want would be as per the 99-2000MY Imprezas. In which case a "dumb" ISO to PC interface and some software (ECUExplorer, EvoScan, DeltaDash etc).

I can say that on a 2003 the tactrix cable with learning view and romraider works very well,
