Why Subarus Suck To Own

[@grumpachu]

The biggest problem is people modding these and not getting a tune. Then they wonder why they get ringland failures or misfires.

[@Hugo350R]

Mfs be blowing by getting and intake and a downpipe without a tune. That’s pretty sad on Subarus part lol

[@Treaxvour]

​@Hugo350R a boxer engine is much different than a v or inline engine. To expect the same reliability out of a completely different engine style is assanine.

[@RAID3R63]

It's the low tension rings they use which causes oil consumption therefore oil gets low and people blow them up., Best rule is to check the oil everytime you fill up your tank. Takes a minute but will save you thousands

What people forget is that subarus arent true sports cars. They are sedans with turbos and go into the "sports sedan" category and shouldn't be lumped together with sports cars(like Rugby and Football). True sports cars are built for sport car activities such as being able to handle being pushed to their limits often at high RPMs and a frame/suspension/cooling system that compliments that, (usually a 2door car, but very few 4doors can can be called true sports cars). But nearly all subarus are built for driving normally for the average driver and/or some light offroading(debatable these days).

[@kilacoust8875]

From what I know is that as long as you keep it under 400hp and under 22psi you will be fine, only times I have ever had issues on my 97 sti was when I was making more than 400hp I only recommend getting one if you are doing very light mods and dailying it, or know what your doing and are ready to spend so much money into it that at the end you could get a down payment for a house

Hit a deer with it and totalled it and got myself a 2017 WRX at the end of 2020 with 14k miles on it and I haven’t had any problems with it besides a leaking A/C condenser and leaking battery, everything else has been perfect on it for the last 2 1/2 years and can’t imagine anything going wrong with it anytime soon because I actually take care of it

[@A11CAP5]

I'm happy for you. But I have to say... If you want it to last... Keep it stock, check your oil, and drive gently while warming up. Do not mess with the engine management or boost pressure. 300hp is enough for a rowdy launch and a rapid 0-60. Tuning and poor driver habits are the downfall of most Subarus. They aren't meant to be fast on highway pulls, and they are fine in stock form... Mine is going on 250k km and I hit the redline everyday. I only just did the clutch.

All I've had to do to it is brakes, oil, timing belt and a radiator that got a rock chip. I've worn out the axles a couple times... The engine is still beautiful, doesn't burn any oil and pulls hard. She's just got a little rust now, but everything still works. My second Subaru after a lemon 2.5 impreza... The key to longevity is to get a 2.0 and keep it stock... Stock power, stock clutch, and stock sized rims. Change the oil every 5000-8000 km. Shift properly and drive it lightly while it's still warming up.

The Ford was my first truck and is still in my driveway, drive it at least once a week, and the Subaru is my daily driver(128 miles a day taking myself and my wife to work). From what ive found is all brands have their ups and downs, something at some point is going to break, wear is inevitable, and when you put a lot of miles on vehicles like i do, learn to fix the problems yourself. The Ford and the Subaru have been, for me, the cheapest and easiest to maintain and do repairs on, and have had the least amount of issues, the Honda was up there with them, but i just didn't like it as much. All in all, if i had to make a choice from my experience, if you want something easy to maintain, buy a Subaru, if you dont give a shit about maintenance and just want it to work, buy a pre-'97 300 i6 ford, if you want to be stranded 2-3 times a month, buy a Chevy or Dodge anything, and finally if you want an engine that blows while its not even running and will never find a replacement part on this planet, buy an Isuzu

Feel like anytime in the car community the word Subaru is always associated with WRX/STIs and their turbo boxers. I feel like the FRS/BRZ/86 platform is big enough where we have to specify that it’s the WRXs that suck to own. The NA boxers are great and reliable as long if you keep it NA.

[@Treaxvour]

Absolutely 💯 that's because, although toyota didn't make the parts or engine, their philosophy went into the entire car. They knew it couldn't take thrashing reliably with a turbo, so they refused it. The drive train being rwd lightened the engine load as well, something subaru would never have done. The novelty of a low center of gravity boxer is all toyota needed from subaru. In my book, they are toyotas built with subaru parts

@@EduardoLopez-km6qyactually at 245k miles my Subaru burns almost no oil every 5k miles. The headgasket did go so there is that.

When they are beat on for years on end and not maintained. Yes. That’s any car buddy.

picked up a wrx and fixed her up myself, the only thing i hate is the latch system for the trunk and gas cables, who ever designed that was an idiot

Bro about to get a cease and desist letter from Subaru 😂

[@fakacoon8864]

"Super low price" for a hatch is bs. The cheapest one within 200 miles is 20k and has 103k miles lol

[@mechmillz]

07 legacy here, 150k miles runs like a top

[@i_love_mimikyu_sm]

Idk what your talking abt. Hatches and sti’s go for atleast 19k with 170 on them.

[@JonBergacs]

If you breathe too hard on a wrx engine say goodbye to your head gaskets.

[@mv3380]

Love how he says can make big power. Subarus can't make sh!t for power. Probably a good thing since the transmission can't even handle factory power 🤦‍♂️

[@Gunma_garage]

My Bugeye just hit 200k. Runs great *it's stock cough *cough 🤣🤦‍♂️

Head gaskets valve gaskets The boxer engine is not that great . Had two love them but always problems

[@evildevil364]

Subaru is literally top reliability up with Honda and Toyota. If your Subaru is breaking, 95% of the time it's on you.

[@calebhermanson8257]

There is nothing big power about a subaru motors, unless your idea of big power is like 350 wheel

[@coreytrevor1311]

You think Subarus suck to own? Go buy something GM

[@coreytrevor1311]

I own a 2024 forester

[@froopty1854]

Ej subarus suck to own, fa series motors are great and feel nice and smooth while making good power.

[@woolyant9417]

Simple fix, get a base model subaru. The non turbo subarus are way easier to own

[@maxsoregon]

700,000 miles on Subaru's & almost no repairs EVER.

[@matthewmoilanen787]

Well as a 35 yr Senior Master ASE almost everything u said about Subaru is wrong. They are incredibly dependable and need very little in the way of routine maintenance. I can't tell u how many camshaft seals and belts I've installed and outside of routine brake and occasional driveshaft boots they are rock solid. I made my living for many years working on import cars if all makes and a Subaru is as good or better than any of them. If someone buys a clapped out poorly modded car that's not the cars fault it falls on owner neglect. If the problems are corrected they are a superior vehicle.

[@Dilligaf124]

I must have gotten a lemon. My 1995 Chrysler Cirrus is more reliable. My 2017 has been maintained. All the scheduled maintenance. I have spent $12k outside of the scheduled maintenance on repairs. Transmission went within warranty. Have replaced control arms 3 times now. All 4 Wheel bearings twice now. Back latch and hydraulic arms. Driver window motor just recently blew (1995 cirrus power windows still working fine). Misfire code popped up. I forgot what caused it but had that taken care off. Two brake calipers complete seized with regular brake changes. My Subaru is an absolute money pit.

[@jacobterpstra3655]

U find me a low priced sti hatch I’ll give u 10k u won’t find one under 10k

They’re junk. Need head studs for a tune. Trans failures. Oil starvation. Donut depicted this perfectly with their Subarus. Absolute junk. Better off with a 1.8t mk4 golf and I’m not saying that they’re much better but they don’t blow up

[@RubenGarcia-be4us]

Big power??? Idk about that

[@716Flat4]

this guy is flat out wrong. a 2012 WRX hatch with 100K + on it is selling for almost 25k right now...that was its msrp 10 years ago. Most people ARE NOT buying used...most people are buying them new. 5 years ago, this video may have been partially true...today its flat 4 wrong.

[@longdomedia]

That's why you suss legacy GT's or legacy 3.0r-b, usually owned by older people, just as capable for making power, depending where you are in the world, gen 4's came with a longer ratio 6 speed thats still just as good as the STI 6 speeds. TBSTI post fl gen 4 legacy is great, 2.5 turbo, brembos, 6 speed, bilstein suspension with STI Springs, basically just a gentlemens STI.

[@junkmail290]

Suburus ruined their cars by making everything electronic inside, now you have to get Updates just to keep your RADIO working properly in a new car, and guess what!?! Unlike your phone, these Updates are NOT free after the warranty ends!! And the Sales people lie about it! Plus the cars have interior face scanning cameras that they lie about, and if that's not enough, they also track Everywhere you go, even if you don't have GPS and lie about this too!!! It's all a big secret. Why aren't more people talking about this unconstitutional invasion of Privacy???!!!???

[@markb8467]

It’s a terrible platform for making big power they’re fragile as.. they’re good performance cars but for the love of god I wish people would actually know what they’re talking about before they make videos teaching people things 🤦🏻‍♂️

I hate my Subaru. The CVT, the engine, the constant money pit & parts i have to replace. The oil burning. The honestly meh awd system. 26mpg in a shitbox. What’s there to like?
