Why Subarus Are So "UNreliable"

[@Jay-j6m2l]

They have great ratings by consumer reports.

I have a 2018 Subaru Forester I love it I have not had a single problem with it just regular maintenance

[@fredobermeier2846]

I had 2 legacy’s, a wrx, an Outback and now a Crosstrek. None have been unreliable.

This means you've been taking care of those vehicles. Changing oil every interval of 3-5 thousand miles, etc. I'm just talking about the people who abuse the vehicles by not changing oil, putting stress on the engine.

I bought my first Subaru two years ago, an Outback Wilderness. Subaru engines have evolved, but they still require maintenence and it's slightly more costly than other brands. I anticipate 300k miles out of this car.

[@MaryPoppins-d1k]

My buddy has 400000K on his Subaru . I love my Crosstrek 😊

[@Chris_Nation4_Rally]

Very nice! I have 3 Impreza and 1 Crosstrek these are really good vehicles

[@Modeltnick]

It was the material used in the head gaskets, which was corrected.

[@Chris_Nation4_Rally]

Yes, in the early Subarus they used a single layered graphite coated head gasket. This is a problem back then where under heat and age chips and wears the gasket where pieces of the graphite get into the engine and cause oil to leak and pressure to build in the engine.

I bought a 89 Honda crx back in 89 brand new from the dealership. I beat the heck out of that car for 10 years and still got 230k miles out of it. Could I have gotten more miles out of it? I’m sure of it. If you want your car to go 300k and more just be nice to it and do the maintenance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

[@Chris_Nation4_Rally]

True. Maintenance is key to long gevity of a vehicle

Reviewing back to this video over a year later if you noticed i forgot what engine was replaced to the FB series engines at 3:33. The FB25 models replaced the EJ253 boxer Engine after 2011 for blowing head gaskets and oil consumption issues, this was in the middle of the 3rd gen Foresters from 2009-2013 model years

[@brooklynbummer]

I have 22 years of owning Subaru Foresters, and other than the 2004 head gasket, problem, my Subaru s have been reliable.

Write out what you want to say Gogle facts offscreen then edit the video so that is less dead speech

[@fogsmart]

Who are they are way over priced now. The driver assist is stupidly expensive after warranty. And care take over your autonomy. No thanks. Gaskets? Oh come on, those days are long gone. Now it a whole lotta other problems. Love the AWD, but no, Toyota or Honda buddy.

[@drinajgb2437]

Yes well I just got back from the dealer because the TCV failed after 21 k miles. There is a class action lawsuit about this issue. Before that the windshield just popped for no reason. Another major issue. I have owned them for 20 years. I am looking to trade it in as soon as possible. Done with Subaru.

[@JimFrye-ub3kq]

Did he say that Subarus are air cooled?

[@Chris_Nation4_Rally]

The original boxer Engine from the Volkswagen Beetle was air cooled and or water cooled
