I have had three foresters - and have had three timing belts done. Love everything except the stupid timing belt replacement. 2004 Subaru forester was the best. 5 speed - beast through the woods and snow. Had 225k when I sold it

If regular timing belt replacement is the worst of it, then I'd call that pretty darn good.

[@thes2kguy]

Hi Scotty. I liked the video. You mentioned "fun to drive" several times in this video. If you get a chance to, I recommend you test drive a 2014-18 Forester XT version. It has the same turbo engine as the WRX. It's day and night compared to the NA version you tested in this video.

[@jackeldogo3952]

This happened with my 2011 Highlander.(170K miles) One day the Check Engine Light showed up when I started the car up, it just never went away as well as the traction control light. A couple of days later the battery was dead and wouldn't take a charge, so I had to replace it. The CEL was gone when the system restrted with the new battery and 250 miles later still not CEL so I am chalking it up to a battery issue.

[@MrRaitzi]

Toyota seems to have same system as Ford that it resets the computer automatically when new battery is detected.

[@mangosmakemesmilee5164]

Recently drove a car with a sunroof for the first time in my life, and am happy I didn’t go for one. My eyes are really sensitive to sunlight, so the extra light from that comes from above is very annoying to drive with. Wouldn’t be bad at night, but during the day it was bothersome, maybe even dangerous because I couldn’t see as well.

[@poke_hoard422]

It's just resetting your computer. Same as if you clear the codes and it isn't really an issue otherwise the code will just come right back after X amount of miles

[@imrileth6618]

My 2013 peugeot used to go into limp mode after really cold starts without triggering any codes. Had to shut down and remove the battery clamp for few minutes to get it to work properly. Eventually it triggered several codes for several modules low voltage. The battery was almost new and in great shape. The problem turned out to be the factory installed crappy quick connect clamp and thin wires on the positive terminal so i suppose the voltage drop during cold starts was so extreme that it confused the computer. I rewired it with proper thick wires and proper battery clamp and havent seen the problem since.

I like the TPMS that uses the wheel speed sensors to let you know a tire is low (like my 2006 Matrix). No batteries required.

I pretty much despise TPMS since it is government mandated largely as a result of the Firestone 500 (tire) disaster. Firestone drops the ball but we (the consumers) end up paying for it.
