| Answer to: Subaru Forester or Outback | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Dad2LM2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The forester is surprisingly nimble off road. But that’s the only advantage I see. The outback will be more comfortable, quiet, and easy to live with as a daily driver. Unless your inspection finds a problem, I’d go with the outback. | |||||
| Answer to: Toyota GR86 vs. Subaru BRZ? | 23Relevance | 2 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Same car. Different badge. It is mostly a subaru with a little bit of Toyota. Boxer engine is subaru. Transmission TMK is subaru. Engineering is mostly subaru. Something about the fuel management is Toyota. If you look under the hood of a BRZ, you will see the Toyota logo next to the subaru, because of their contribution. Not sure about the 86 if it is co branded. Inconjecture it would be too. | |||||

| Like @nta98, Toyota and subaru use a ton of similar components. He listed electrical, but I think it goes beyond that. Simple things like mirror joystick adjusters, power up button, to stuff we don’t see. It surprised me driving a subaru, overall it looked like a subaru, but looking and feeling the details, felt like a Toyota. Granted it’s not a Toyota, because there are distinct elements which makes subaru, subaru. | |||||
| Subaru Injection and intake cleaning methods? | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | hollerg | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2014 2.5i subaru outback (144 k mi) has the CVT, so it rarely runs above 2200 rpm at highway speeds. I have a hesitation I can’t get rid of and suspect it needs injection and intake cleaning. The videos have shown the 3C induction cleaning system and the 505CRF cleaner from ATS and elsewhere I've seen that subaru has a "top cleaning" product for the intake too. How does the subaru “top cleaning" compare to using the 505CRF and the 3C induction cleaning -- I.E. when to use which one? | |||||
| Keep or sell my 2016 Subaru WRX? | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | MarkAliso44 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, I went from a 1997 Toyota 4Runner, sold at 380k miles to a 2016 subaru WRX with a manual transmission. Just paid it off and have 63K miles on it. Really miss having a SUV with a automatic transmission. My question is should I sell my subaru WRX before I have any major issues with it later on and get a newer used Toyota Truck or SUV? Or should I keep my subaru and get older used Jeep, Toyota Land Cruiser or any good deal I can find on a older used SUV or truck? I’ve had zero issues with my subaru. I do my oil changes around 4-5k miles an ... | |||||
| Answer to: Changing Subaru CVT Fluid Intervals | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | IanSR | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| subaru manufactures its own manual and CVT transmissions. Since the 1970s, all subaru conventional automatic transmissions have been Jatco designs adapted to subaru specifications. You're doing the right thing with regular servicing. My brother had a 2009 Legacy (just sold it) and changed the oil and filter every 4000 miles and then the usual maintenance. Nothing went wrong and he drove that thing everywhere, everyday and that was an auto. With the CVT, subaru Japan states the oil change should be every 30'000 miles. subaru USA states it's a sealed life ... | |||||
| RE: 2017 Subaru Outback engine blown with NO WARNING! | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | Corob57 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a new serpentine belt, but I hear ya! I am not a fan of subarus at this point in time and so many subaru owners love their cars. I talked to subaru about the fluke of a broken valve spring…nothing back as far as information. Everyone I have talked to say itks a complete fluke, bad steel, should never have happened. Incredibly rare event but ultimately, I have a low mile engine, documented, and it drives amazing. Now I love it, but my experience with subaru is in the wtf category. Nobody to blame, fluke. | |||||
| Answer to: Should we buy a outback | 23Relevance | 3 months ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It's the first year of a new generation outback so it is too new to know that. Bear In mind that in general new car quality is down across the board industry-wide. Past outbacks have been OK cars if not quite up to Toyota or Honda standards, at least after subaru fixed their head gasket problems. If you intend to buy and keep the car more than a few years you will want to change the CVT fluid regularly despite subaru's false claim that those are "sealed" units with "lifetime" fluid. | |||||

| Subaru 2.2 liter engine reliability question. | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | wutasarri | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty! Love your channel! I've seen you talking about reliability as a desired attribute in any car, new or used. I'd just like to weigh in on the reliability of the subaru 2.2 liter boxer 4. With proper maintenance, it is virtually indestructible. I would also add that the 3.0 liter found in the 2000-2004 outback is just as reliable. I purchased a used 3.0 liter outback sedan with 223,000 miles on it several years ago. It now has 248,000 with zero engine problems. Enjoy your new digs, and we'll be watching! | |||||

| Answer to: Subaru Baja | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Baja is basically an outback with top of the rear section cut off to make a smallish bed. So it's not really a truck if you're looking for something for towing or heavy loads. subaru non-turbo 4-cylinder engines when these were built had head gasket problems that usually show up around 100,000 miles. (Starts as an external leak and then gets worse. Turbo engines had better gaskets not prone to failure.) The engine has to be removed to replace the head gaskets. Although subaru engines are not difficult to pull out it is still more involved than a head gas ... | |||||

| ... their 2.4L engines. CVTs are an issue, especially since subaru of America insists on the "lifetime fluid" nonsense. If that 2017 outback really has only 15K miles you could start a regimen of CVT fluid changes that would enhance its reliability and longevity. The mileage is suspiciously low for an 8-year-old car though and would need to be verified. Worst problem for that model was a battery drain issue which resulted in a class action lawsuit. Relatively few engine or transmission problems are reported: The 2015 Honda CR-V looks like it has had issue ... | |||||
| Best way to sell my car? | 27Relevance | 1 year ago | IneedAdvice | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I bought a brand new subaru outback in 2018 and it has had lots of issues. Thank God I bought the 100k warranty which has covered over $25k in repairs. It has 108k miles now. I always take excellent care of my cars bc my dad was a mechanic and I cannot easily be duped or deterred. I’m a persistent PITA when I want to be. But I was gaslighted, denied, and manipulated for years by subaru dealerships and I’m emotionally exhausted dealing with their brand and I want to sell my car. I’m getting it back very soon for the latest round of repairs. What is the best w ... | |||||
