| Answer to: 2021 Honda Passport Elite Vs. 2021 Subaru Outback Touring XT | 30Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Generally, Honda is better than subaru. I'm suprised no body mentioned it but the new Passport is huge so it has lots of transmission issues. Keep that in mind. You might want to check out a Honda Pilot instead. subaru is also good but not as good as Toyota and Honda honestly neither are cars that would last 3 400k miles none of the newer cars are because of all the complexity of the powertrains. The subaru should be fine for 100k miles going off of track record and then the CVT would have problems, but the Passport would have transmission problems right ... | |||||

| Those cars are really odd ducks. People who own them are kind of between a rock and a hard place for service. As you know it's really not a Saab, it's a subaru but as you found out most subaru dealers don't want to touch them. From what I've read that car does have the same electronics and uses the same diagnostic tools as a regular subaru. It would be identified as a a WRX on subaru's scan tools. There's really no reason a subaru dealer could not do basic diagnostics and repairs on that car. They just would not be able to deal with anything Saab-specific wh ... | |||||
| Is a 2017 Lexus IS 300 worth the upgrade? - I live in Canada (Ontario) | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | JulianB | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am considering upgrading to a 2017 Lexus IS 300. I am currently driving a 2018 subaru Crosstrek (highest trim level). The buyout for the subaru is around $18,500 (it is on lease which will end in April 2022) and it has 55,000 km and a similar Lexus would be around $28,000 (50,000 to 100,000 km). My reason for the upgrade is that the subaru is very slow and I really like the style and drive of the Lexus (plus the amazing reliability). I am also 25 and want to enjoy my daily driving experience. I would need to use the car as a daily though, I drive an averag ... | |||||

| ... robust enough for the size If you really love subaru but you want something bigger, it’s not terrible. But not subaru’s best effort. Maybe if they stick with it another generation or two they can refine it. It’s like they used to say about BMW: “the best BMW is a little BMW.” Same for subaru. | |||||

| Answer to: 2016 Forester dead CVT where to go from here? | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Terranova1340 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I just wanted to come back and provide an update as a data point as it were incase anyone finds themselves in a similar situation. Firstly, subaru did cover the transmissions. They replaced it doing what they called a "Good Faith Repair". There claim was the fluid in the CVT was low and that is why the CVT Transmission died. The service manager at my local dealer claimed that the fluid was 8qts low. The local dealer was the ONLY one to do any type transmission fluid related work on the vehicle. My Opinion - and we all know what they say about opini ... | |||||

| ... be better then their competition. Toyota didn’t bother making it a quality engine cause their competition in the early-mid 2010s were using engines like the PSA EB0 or the EP6C that had the most outrageously terrible design choices. - subaru are generally weaker cars, they use a relatively weak gearbox, The subaru Linetronic. They sometimes break the output bearings, burn clutch baskets, and wear out their cones - you can avoid most of it if you’re replace the transmission oil every 30,000km. The differential oil is separate there i’d replace the fluid from ... | |||||
| Subaru Outback extended warranty | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Suby18 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Great show! I have a 2018 subaru outback 3.6R with 19K miles on it. Bought it new, great car, and like every other subaru I've owned it's been trouble-free. The manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty runs out 6/30/21 and I was contemplating paying $750 for an additional 42 month/60K extended warranty that covers everything but wear items. Ordinarily, I would not bother but with the mountain of electronic gadgetry on the car (EyeSite, cameras, etc...) I wonder if the warranty might be worth it guessing that repair or replacement of any of th ... | |||||
| Should I buy a used Outback or CR-V | 26Relevance | 3 years ago | Trapster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, My dependable Honda Accord, 2012, 150,000 miles is getting a little old for me. I would like to upgrade. I know, you will tell me to keep the old beauty until it reaches 300k miles, then ask you. Seriously, I am thinking of getting either a subaru outback or a Honda CR-V USED to replace my Accord. I am a kayaker and outdoors guy. Will an outback give me the same quality and dependability as the Accord? Are the CR-V's while a bit more expensive, worth it as far as reliability? The recent Accords are so packed with electronics that it frightens ... | |||||
| 2014 Subaru Forester Upper Oil Pan Leak, "Lifetime" CVT Oil, and CV Joints | 27Relevance | 4 years ago | Breakdown | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... if memory serves. What this event tells me is that no one should buy a subaru, unless they have money to burn. To "fix" this leaking upper engine oil pan, the entire engine has to be removed, and cam and valve covers are also resealed at this opportunity. It is $3,000 dollars for a leaking oil pan sealed with silicone, rather than a gasket, because the machines assembling subaru engines can manage a bead of silicone, but not placing a physical fiber gasket. If I had not caught the dealer over-filling the oil for the consumption test a few years back, that ... | |||||

| The 2012 subaru Forester (and that generation in general) had excessive oil consumption issues, unintended acceleration, leaky head gasket, and numerous recalls related to the Takata airbags. That generation (2009-2013) had up to 9 airbag recalls, and you’d want those addressed before you buy (not something to mess around with, esp. with possibility of shrapnel being hurled when airbag inflated). I would personally pass on it. See below: | |||||

| I have friends that have the RAV4 Hybrid and the outback. Both amazing vehicles. And I recommend either depending on your needs. If you do a ton of city driving and a bit of freeway driving, and a bit of outdoors/trails, then the RAV4 Hybrid. If you do a ton of outdoors/trails, a ton of freeway, and NO city driving, then the outback. | |||||
