Modern Subaru’s are not the solid long lived cars they used to be, don’t buy a used Subaru. Volvo is the other brand in the same boat, newer ones don’t hold up nearly as long as the old ones. Buy a Subaru and don’t be surprised with very high repair and upkeep cost. My opinion - don’t buy a used Subaru.
My question isn’t about a car we own but about one we’re hoping to own. We’re intending to buy the new iteration of the Subaru Forester when it arrives in showrooms late fall. I’m old school, however, so here’s my concern: The old wisdom held that one should never buy a vehicle in its first year. The thinking was that the manufacturer needed a year “to get the bugs out.” Question ...
ok4450 April 15, 2013, 7:26am 5. Subarus has had head gasket issues dating back to the early 70s although the early/mid 70s are another kettle of fish in regards to failure. Just my 2 cents, but the problem seemed to really surface in the mid 80s when the head bolt retorque was eliminated. rsrocket1 April 15, 2013, 7:20pm 6.
Long story. I took my Subaru Forester in for it’s 35,000 mile servicing. I had the usual oil change but also had the fuel system treated. Up to this point I’ve had no problems with the car. The next day after the servicing, the car started normally in the morning but when I tried to start the car later in the afternoon it turned over but would not start. The next day, it started fine in ...
Also make sure you’re comparing a gas model to gas model. If you compare a gas Subaru to a diesel Subaru, the diesel will get better mileage. Also it’s worth pointing out that the base model 2 liter Forester in the UK costs the equivalent of about $26,600 USD . The Turbocharged XT mode costs 21,900 pounds or about $35,000.

My Subaru source said the new Forester has the “FB25” engine, which, in addition to a timing chain instead of a belt, should no longer suffer from coolant-related head gasket issues, because the coolant flows to the head through a separate passage, not through the head gasket. You can identify the FB25 by the location of the oil filter (on ...
I’ve been reading threads on several websites about Subaru turbochargers failing early. I have a 2004 Turbo Forester. It’s been maintained since purchased new at the same dealer with oil changes every 3500 miles or so and all the “big” required/recommended maintenance every 15000 miles. After the 75000 mile check, I kept smelling a ...

The Forester has all-wheel drive. The Mazda probably won’t. I live in the South so we get very little snow or ice (I don’t think I need all-wheel drive). A little zippy, fun to drive, good turning radius. In the past, I had a 2007 Subaru Forester and I have a Subaru Outback now. I liked the old Forester more than the Outback.
