| ... of on road refinement. The outback is already less refined than the Volvo, so I would expect a clear advantage to the Volvo in that aspect. BUT, I would consider the subaru superior in just about every other way, especially if you intend to keep it a while. Long term ownership costs will be far lower with the subaru, and DIY maintenance will be very easy. Get the subaru. | |||||

| Answer to: Toyota vs Subaru | 45Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Toyota is higher quality and will likely last longer. Today's subarus are OK these days with their major problems behind them, and subaru has pretty much the best AWD system. You're talking about different types of vehicles. The 4Runner is really more of a truck, where the outback is a lifted station wagon, based on a sedan. Lookup up specs, the 4Runner TRD has a V6 with a conventional 5-speed automatic transmission. The outback Wilderness has a boxer 4 (turbo optional) and a CVT. The former uses a lot more gas, the latter will require more maintenance ... | |||||

| Answer to: Current Subaru CVT’s | 42Relevance | 5 years ago | IanSR | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| First, CVT's are not going away and from what I have found as long as you do proper maintenance you should be good. Looking at subaruOutback.org and subaruforester.org which are highly recommended to join, people have had positive things to say about the CVT's. I will post a couple of replies from outback forum. 'I have not yet owned a subaru CVT. I have spent far too much of my free time reading this website though.I've read about 4 specific CVT catastrophic failures reported on this site. That's out of ~450,000 CVT outbacks sold 2010-2014.Obviously not ... | |||||
| Subaru and Oil Seal Leaks | 39Relevance | 3 years ago | Motown Mopar | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, this isn't a question but a comment on subaru quality and reliability I thought I would share and you could inform others if necessary. I brought in a 2016 subaru Crosstrek last month for regular service at 84,000 miles. Owned since new, we have been very diligent (especially oil and filter changes) with services and almost all were done at subaru dealerships. So, at this service in May, the dealer recommended that all engine seals be redone, oil pans, Cam Sealer, valve covers, etc, except for the head gasket which is in good condition. They state ... | |||||

| You cannot judge a vehicle's condition by "the pics". You need a good mechanic to inspect the car before purchase. I wouldn't buy a 14-year-old high-miles subaru. Transmission and engine problems are common. The flat six engine a gas hog and is difficult and costly to service. | |||||

| ... I got that from, I only drove it 400 miles, replaced engine, then transmission was failing, so I was told, so I got this 2017 outback and now less than a year later have another blown engine. Car hell for 2 years! Now the insurance $ went to this outback and have no car. Because I wasn’t in an accident, my insurance is covering nothing. Hmmmm, how do I approach the owner to find accountability? He bought the 1st subaru from me that he put the new engine in. So this will be the 2nd outback I have owned that he will be putting another engine in! | |||||

| subaru (owned by Fuji Heavy Industries) makes their own CVTs in-house, not Jatco. See below: scroll down to ‘In-house production at Fuji Heavy Industries’. Now the former subaru conventional automatics were based on Jatco designs. That being said, your outback is included in the years for the CVT warranty extension to 10 year/100,000 miles. The newer CVTs are supposedly better (and the outback had issues up , but yours being a 2015 I would be leary to own it past 100,000 miles, especially if you plan to keep it for 200,000+ miles.

| Find a specialist subaru mechanic, in your area. You need a higher/dealer level scan tool to diagnose your issue. Quoted below, from this link - “If the check engine light in your 2013 subaru outback starts flashing, that means that the problem needs hasty attention and your subaru should be brought in immediately. A flashing light indicates that the problem is precarious and if not taken care of immediately may result in large damage to the vehicle.

| Answer to: 17 Subaru Forrester Transmission | 34Relevance | 5 years ago | Dave Steel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2017 subaru Forester. In 2018 subaru issued a warranty extension to 10 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) on the CVT transmission for 2016-2017 subaru Forester, Crosstrek, WRX, Impreza, Legacy/Outback. Find another subaru dealer to do a drain & fill on the transmission. Find a reputable independent subaru mechanic for the bulk of your subaru maintenance. It's a good idea to have your brake fluid & front and rear differential oil changed every 35K-40K. | |||||
| Answer to: Mercury Milan or Subaru Outback for a second hand non daily driver? | 34Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would go with the subaru. Fully loaded Milan would basically be a Fusion which is a decent car but the transmission tend to be weak and subaru has a much better AWD system. Have a mechanic check out the head gasket and transmission before you buy a subaru though. According to owner reports on carcomplaints, engine problems peaked around 2006 and transmission(+ engine) problems started happening very commonly in 2010. 08 09 seems decent enough and for 3.5-4k it could be a good car as long as a mechanic checks it out. | |||||
