>Tfw other friend owns two Subarus and always seems to be working on them, and he had picked up a third that didn't run and was in the process of getting another engine swapped into it
>Tfw when I did rallycross a couple years ago, two of the three Subarus that showed up had overheating issues, one of which was down for the count - can't remember if a burst hose or something else

wut, Subarus are known as extremely reliable cars in my country.
Well, except Turbo engines are known for breaking down sometimes..

I love the car but it makes me feel like such a meme it's almost unbearable at times :(

Protip, don't go to subie meetups, it's just a shitload of stis and wrxs with stickers that say fear no evo.

I'm planning on painting the hood scoop the correct color of blue soon. The plastidip was just because I needed a quick fix since the old paint was about 35% peeled off

2016 WRX reporting in.

Head gasket issues are fixed since FA20 (2015). Also allegedly the turbo is more reliable but it hasn't been long enough to tell for real.

Does the headgasket defect happen in the brz?

SUPER FUN for winter here in canada.

Hg issues are on the old 2.5 Sohc engines and have since been worked out. This issue is from the late 90s-to early 00s. And they usually go at about 100k.

The turbo motors are rock solid in stock form. If modified correctly they're still solid. Issue is subarus are very temperamental with their tuning and if you just slap a vent to air bov on it you're going to have issues

2015 wax. has been a piece of shit so far. The engine blew up at about 25k miles, and then now they want me to send it back in because of a starter issue on all cars. fucking shitbox i can't wait for them to fix it so i can sell it.

2005 Outback XT
88000 mi
Owned for 1.5 years and put 13k on it.

It can go fast when i need it to and can carry a lot, but the suspension sucks and parts are big and expensive.

Probably gonna sell it since people eat these things up in CO for way more than theyre worth.

Even on the older models with head gasket issues, if you have a functioning sense of smell, you know when they are starting to get flaky. I've replaced the headgasket on my outback LL-Bean already. Just have to find a good mechanic. Engine still runs like a dream at around 330,000 miles, and that fucking car will climb a cliff covered in ice.

I've had to replace the exhaust from salt rust twice, the transmission needed a partial rebuild at around 230,000, been through a couple of fuel pumps, and many other little things, but for 300,000 it's really hard to bitch about a bit of wear and tear.

TL;DR on subarus is: If you live in an area where the two seasons are winter and roadwork, I would highly recommend.

'08 STI here in Canada
Just crossed 176k kms and still going strong.
Recently had the secondary air pump removed because it was throwing codes all day.

Switching to Summers and throwing on rallyarmors this weekend.

No ragrets, although to be honest when i was in the market I really only wanted a WRX.

I'm thinking of a getting a new set of rims, Currently have 2 sets of the gold 18" OEM BBS's.. Looking for opinions if anyone has some nice wheels to share. Don't know what colour to go with, thinking Black, Gunmetal or Copper maybe?

I considered the Subaru Legacy right before I bought a Fusion in 2015. One of the dealbreakers was a lack of factory installed remote start (which is a lifechanging feature when it is integrated with heated steering wheel & heated/cooled seats).

I hear mixed things on the reliability which somewhat concerns me. I'm kind of surprised as Toyota, Honda, and Japan in general are reputed to have more reliable vehicles, and statistics for Toyota and Honda definitely seem to hold true for that but Subaru doesn't.

At least they finally seem to be getting over the cheapness of their interiors.

My 04 2.5i manual Liberty. Slow as all hell but does well in the corners even though it's a boat.

'13 Impreza Hatch. I've got about 32k miles on it. Love it so far. Just wish there was a little more power sometimes. It goes from 60-80mph just fine though.

I don't think there has been a time in my life where I haven't had a subaru nearby.
My entire childhood revolved around the family car since we took so many road trips.
Right before I was born my parents bought an outback fresh off a boat.
Unfortunately it was destroyed and totaled in front of my house at just 9 years... Some drunk shithead.
Insurance company did their work and we ended up getting a Limited Outback Legacy with a multi subwoofer pack and other neat bells and whistles that the old one didn't have.
I remember going out in the snow with that car, first time ever driving.
The sound of a boxer flat four always brings me back to when I was kid.
Fast forward to now. I own a Forester. A pretty nice car but I would honestly rather have an 07 impreza wagon, either that or an H63.0 Limited 2003 legacy anni.

Literally had to restore it because bodge exhaust, very little maintenance, stupid boost controller, body issues everywhere had lead to it running like arse.

>>14761130
You're correct about the 96-99 EJ25D, but the 00-04 EJ251 also has headgasket issues. They released a revised headgasket in 2004 for both engines that fixes the problem forever. If you see someone that has had to do headgaskets twice, they did something stupid the first time and/or used shitty aftermarket gaskets.

Parts are hard to find and they tend to be expensive, if you want to change the spark plugs you have to pull the motor. The tranny is utter shit, although you can swap in a 5spd or 6spd from a wrx.

One my 3rd STi (2016) And my wife has a 2015 Forester.

>>14763345

The interior is still plasticky but it's upgraded plasticky. The fake carbon fiber is a nice touch.

The seats are very huggy and comfier. I think the interior has like an extra inch of space from the previous year. I have the Limited so the little bells and whistles are nice. Unexpected, let's say. The rear anti collision warnings and side mirror warnings are new to me. The electric seat adjustments are nice, the radio is good but the Starlink system is ass. There are three screens of info where in the past it was all just analog stuff.

The motor is the same, the road noise is a little better, I thought I hated the body style but I ended up really liking it. The LED lights are a huge improvement. The flat bottomed steering wheel which I thought I would hate is very very nice. Basically if you know the EJ257 you know the capabilities... it's the same!

Because of previous warranty issues with the car I have no plans to mod the car until it's out of warranty so it is bone stock. Still like it a lot.

08 outback. Bough it over a year ago. I like how Subaru has a simple fill/drain bolt for transmission and differentials. Easiest v belts I've ever replaced. Haven't done spark plugs though.

'96 JDM Legacy GT twin turbo. Yes, it's RHD. Of course it's a manual. And yes, it's broken. I love it, though, despite all the things wrong with it, which is why I haven't driven it for a while. I've had it for almost three years now, I think. It's kind of finicky, but lawd jeezus does it rip. It's quicker than I expected the EJ20H to be. I'd like to swap in the 276hp EJ20R, though. I've ripped through the mountains with it, even had it sideways a couple times, and you better believe it's torn up some dirt and snow. She's hibernating at my show right now until I can figure out what all is wrong with it, as well as spend some jewgolds on more JDM aftermarket goodies for it.

I also have an '05 Saab 92x, the "Saabaru". It's just the Linear model, 2.5 N/A, automatic. But it's fully loaded, with every option. My brother drives that, I just bought it for him about a month ago, and he loves it. The engine was freshly, fully rebuilt by the previous owner, so that's a huge plus.

Well eyesight can lower your insurance so that's a plus. People have bitched about factory hitches with Subaru so look into that. I personally wish the crosstek came with an H6. Score free alignments from dealership for x years or x amount. They matter more for awd and awd alignment cost more.

'Bought' (was really cheap) a '98 Impreza wagon a couple of weeks ago.
It's a 1.6 manual with DUAL RANGE NIGGUH, which is about the only feature on the thing.

The poor car has spent all it's life parked on the street and has been crashed into 5 times (while parked), so it has about 5 different shades of faded red now.

But since you can probably guess what that looks like (shit) I fired up S-tuner and this is what I came up with.

>>14774613
Because it's a fun car. Cars don't need to have 6 cylinders or more to build. Sure it's far easier to get those kinds of numbers, but generally those kinds of engines come in bigger, heavier packages.

I've owned a lot of Subarus throughout the years; 2008 WRX Sedan, ej205 2.5RS coupe, Impreza L sedan with a 20g 2.2L and WRX heads, 2012 STI hatchback.

Right now I have a swapped 2000 2.5RS with an ej257 and td06h-20g turbo and also a 1980 Subaru Brat.

I have a love-hate relationship with them. They're not the best performers in the world but are pretty reliable and do great in poor weather (which I get a lot of). Interiors are generally shitty and always have been compared to other cars at similar price points. Rattling everywhere, thin factory paint, bad factory tunes, and they don't attract the best people out there where I live.

I think I have enjoyed my BRAT most out of all the cars I've owned. It is fun to drive slow, does great offroad, reliable so far, and meet a lot of interesting people and get to hear great stories.

Having owned Subarus exclusively for the last 8 years makes it hard for me to get anything else. The fact that there are a great number of parts that can be shared across different models and even platforms can make maintenance really cheap and easy.

In all they're pretty decent cars but like all manufacturers, they have their own unique problems and quirks.

Anyone have a Hawkeye (or probably any pre-08) WRX and replaced the speakers? They're shit. (Love the car otherwise.)

>>14767858

Pretty much. They've used cheap materials in most of their cars for a long time. The designs were definitely nothing special for a long time. The frame-less windows on the older models, while cool in their own way, didn't help at all with cabin noises. Pretty bad stereo systems as well.

The good thing is that they've always had good seats and driving positions. Subaru's interior is also getting better with every generation (which they kind of have to since everyone else is getting better as well).

>>14778947

My main complaint is how boring and dull the interior seems to look. Some other models I've seen done it simple enough to look pretty good. I thought the material in my 07 Impreza was a bit better than an 07 Mazda3 I had at least. Just nothing too fancy.

>>14779096

I actually like the simple look of the interior of my Crosstrek. Has a "decent" stereo with bluetooth without being an iPad in the dash. Materials are ok but it's an entry level car so that's to be expected

>>14779155
The things I do like on my Impreza is that the speedometer is in the middle of the dash, and I like the circular vents. Everything else is meh.

Mine came with an aftermarket Kenwood radio. Kind of annoys me but I guess it's a bit better anyways. If I keep the vehicle, I might go ahead and upgrade the speakers.

>>14779091

The 2.5RS with the ej205 cost me about 6k-7k total. Didn't help that I paid someone to splice the ECU harness for me, just didn't have the time as I was leaving the country for a while and wanted to get it done while I was gone.

The Impreza L sedan I originally got as a parts car. Everything was done but it was running like shit. Stole it for $3000. Better yet all I had to do was replace the spark plugs and mess with boost controller a little bit and it was running great. Ended up using it as a daily driver/beater/'rally car'.

Have about $9500 total invested in the RSTi. The donor car was a wrecked STI that had a new, (5k miles on engine) fully built motor made by a shop in Washington which I got for just under $5k. Donor car was about $2.5k, did the body work and painting myself. Then about another $2k in misc stuff like the Td06h-20g, JDM lights, and window tinting.

>>14775687

Just so you know you're a legit faggot for putting an STi wing on a WRX and every STi owner is judging you silently.

I drive:

1992 SVX 3.3L auto
1996 Impreza GL 1.6L manual
1999 Legacy wagon 2.5L auto
2007 Legacy Spec.B 3.0L manual
2015 XV 2.0L CVT

I recently drove the Levorg. Lovely car, but it is not available in the 2.0L turbo here which is very unfortunate. The 1.6L turbo drives very nice but more power would suit it so well.

I love Subaru's man.

Get that with every fanbase though. Everyone's a dickhead

That's what I have now, a 2007.

I like it, and I bought it with 52k miles. It's got 140k on it now. Unfortunately it's been kind of a pain. There was a leak in the headgasket and it cost me a pretty penny to get it fixed.

It makes me look like a raging mom/lesbian in it, but at this point I don't care. I had a 2003 WRX that I drove for a while and loved it. I didn't love the insurance costs or the poor gas mileage, though.

My family bought this 98 Forester for my sister recently. It's close to hitting 200k miles. It's slow, kinda fun, somehow.
My dad was really worried about the engine noise at first, until I explained about the boxer engine. It was pretty funny.

How was the swap? Was the wiring harness a MF'er to adjust between OBD1 & 2? Did you have to relocate the radiator or remove the AC?

I'm shooting for 600hp on my engine build. Will stop at 400hp on the way tho, my current supporting mods run out of steam around there. Then comes the rotated setup

>>14771448
I was having a similar problem with my 05. But i was getting an iacv code. Removed it, took it apart and clean it was gas, worked well but the valve was too gummed up to work right again. New valve from rock.auto and it fixed the code. Try taking it apart and cleaning it. Make sure you have a new gasket ready and also check naisoc for walkthrough threads

>>14793195

Because the American sold Subarus are shit. The headgasket issue isn't a problem anymore in modern day Subarus its just now they burn so much fucking oil because of defective piston rings.

Waiting on a settlement from an auto accident to pick up a WRX, the STi is a little rough riding for my tastes and the WRXs engine feels so smoother then the STi. Plus it's meant to be a "fun" daily driver that may see some tracks days.

Any idea when the new Impreza stuff will get to eh WRX? Mainly the Android Auto head unit and that tasty spoiler they just showed off on the Impreza GT or whatever it's called.

Ya I've heard that is a cheap but great upgrade to go for thicker sway bars. May do this for my 3rd Gen outback, swap out rear sway bar.

I've been intrigued by them ever since I watched WRC on TV back when it was still on freeview channels.

>EJ22 masterace is the answer

also basic maintenance goes along way even though I've had a check engine light for like a year and I beat the shit out of it (off road it alot, drive it pretty harsh because muh rally) also the things that have gotten haram'd I haven't been able to afford to replace. Need new EGR valve (cleaning it didn't fix it) and all my struts are worn af to the point I occasionally bottom out the suspension on hard turns. I did replace the PCV valve, spark plugs, alternator and front CV axles as well as brake pads and rotors all around.

So, I'm trying to fit a new radio in my 06 impreza, however I can't get panel around the shifter off. It seems to be screwed down, but the screws don't come undone no matter how long I try to unscrew them. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?

>>14813193
It's actually held in by plastic tabs. Wrap a cloth around a flathead screwdriver and pry at the end closest to the center console, then work your way around once you hear it click.

>>14813193
Just grab the panel so that your palm is on the subaru logo and pull up on it
