I believe the main reason for the Boxer rumble is the unequal length headers. Also, that forester definitely has an aftermarket exhaust which amplifies it. I've been driving Subarus for the last 9 years, and love the intoxicating sound.

It's 90% an Impreza chassis of the first 2 generations. Up through 2008, it's more car than anything, well wagon. Quite literally it's just the Impreza wagon with a little taller and squared roof line and a 1" subframe spacer (for geometry, not ride height). The Forester's height is all done by the struts used and nothing else. Toss on WRX struts, and it'll sit as low as a WRX. You can literally swap the vast majority of interior and exterior parts between Imprezas and Forester because it's largely the same chassis. Also if you don't get the STI version where you live, all the STI parts bolt directly on, the entire power train, suspension, and interior, including swapping the STI pretty sweeping gauges if you want. By and large, pretty much everything from 93 through 08 in the Imprezas, first gen Legacys, Foresters, and Bajas are interchangeable to a large degree. There are some small variations but far less than you'd expect.

Konstantinos Indeed. A great offroad car even if apparently it does not look as capable as the big boys (Land Cruiser, Land Rovers etc) it surely is. If you are crazy enough you can also go with an Impreza, even though your underside will be a pottage after an offroad session, but just incredible how a small sedan can handle rough conditions. Once I've even seen a video of a completely ordinary Impreza bugeye 1.6i that was trying to make its way through a steep and very muddy path. In the video the other people were laughing because the guy tried to do that in a small sedan, but he succeded to the top.

_"It's JDM, so it's gonna be reliable"_ Unfortunately, NO. Fuji heavy industries does know how to make reliable stuff, and now they have learnt some management skills to make more profit: just sell crap, the quicker it breaks down, the faster you can sell a new car or charge huge money for an overhaul. I mean, even Toyota is doing this, even ****ing Toyota, right? They are omitting little features that didn't increase weight, nor consumption, little features that had no cons but made the engine reliable. One thing is the holes under the 3rd piston ring, they are easy to drill, and serve a purpose: oil that is scraped from the cylinder wall has a place to go, those holes. Now, even VAG, BMW, Toyota, etc. are drilling less and smaller holes, which gives a cost saving of 0.20$; the bloody result is that small holes get clogged up quicker and your engine starts using oil. Some bastards from Nissan or Jaguar don't drill these holes at all. Subaru has some strange fetish going on with plastics inside the FB20 engine block, the only purpose of those pieces of plastic is to let less coolant reach the cylinder. It's full of things like this. ^^same story with gearboxes and electronics; worst thing of all: it's designed in such a way that it's expensive to repair, because you need special equipment and specially made OEM-parts.

Callum Pearce Yes, except that's not Subarus thing, it's the thing of new cars in general. Old Subarus were great, and new cars are almost all shit. --- No really, if you take apart a bmw engine you will notice they started using weaker valve springs on the m62 than they used on older engines. If you just look into the details you will see so many ways in which they purposefully decreased lifelime... --- By the way, on crappy sensors: often cleaning the sensor fixes it, especially hall sensors for the cam+crank shafts if they are place inside the engine. Also a good fix is to spray hydrophobic silicone on the contacts, especially during winter time. --- The boxer diesel had head gaskets that were not oil-proof, or at least not VW-longlife-oil-proof. Another problem is cooling of the engine; and an overheated engine can *** up valvesprings and piston rings, and blow the gasket because of too much expansion. --- The brands so know how to fix their problems, moreover they have done it before, but now they purposefully deny to.
@gerijokub77378 жыл бұрын
+Callum Pearce and I presume you've owned every single subaru to declare this statement? The blown-gasket problem occured in some 2.5 engines and that only began in early 2000s. Some may still have this problem, but that could be down to poor maintenance, because boxer engines require to be looked after. I also believe you're just talking about high-performance Subarus like the WRX. Well, some people like to "thrash" their WRX's because they think they were built that way, so inevitably something breaks. However, looking at the reliability surveys, Subaru name always comes up on the list, whereas I struggle finding cars like Ford anywhere in the list.

Geri Jokūbaitis _Some may still have this problem_ I tell you: boxer diesel from 2008... It's gasket wasn't VW-longlife-oil proof. --- When comparing Subaru to other cars, it's not that bad; even when comparing Subaru's in general to other JDM cars, it's fine. But if you compare new Subarus to Old Subarus, it's terrible enginge- and gearbox-wise (for the CVT). The CVT is just a type of gearbox prone to overheating... I have to say Subaru CVTs are not worse (if not better) than other CVTs. Yet new subarus can take a lot of offroad-abuse, and usually the only thing to fix the bumper is to click it back and remove the chrome insert prior to offroading.

They All Fall Evo can make more power stock due to the fmic and bigger stock turbo. If you pass that stock point, the Subaru is a much better platform with better drivetrain.
@halo3pownage8 жыл бұрын
not even, Subaru engines blow ringland stock if you want to compare a built ej to a built 4g63, I hate to tell ya but the 4g63 will come out on top, its well known through out both communities that if you want a good road car, you get a Subaru, but if you want a race car, you buy an evo

haha, not at all. i dislike the aesthetics of both, but the subaru is just gopping, just truly ugly. i mean, the back of the mitsubishi isnt inspiring, but at least the front is ok. but the subaru, really? they probably ran out of R&D money and thought "that'll do" the body just looks like "that'll do"

I am not entirely sure if they were ever available where this show is filmed, but I feel a better comparison for Subaru would be a Legacy gt wagon (possibly spec-b), it's a lower to the ground more performance oriented (similar to Evo wagon) wagon while the Forester (a crossover suv) would be better compared to the Mitsubishi Outlander which is the same crossover style. But thats just my 2 cents still loved the film!
