- Subaru Forester and Outback get shut out in the most recent longest-lasting car list. Subaru’s problem may be its success. Subaru vehicles have the potential to reach 200,000 miles and here is how to do it. Read at www.torquenews...
This is Armen Hareyan from TorqueNews.com. Our Subaru reporter Denis Flierl has a very interesting article discussing Subaru’s problem and why it’s not in the longest-lasting car list since 2016. I will place the link to that article in the description of this video, and please check it out. But before I start discussing Subaru’s problem in making longer-lasting cars, please subscribe to this channel, like this video and stay in touch about my upcoming Subaru and automotive daily updates.
Last week iSeeCars conducted a study and analyzed over 15.8 million cars sold in 2019 to determine which models have the highest percentage of cars that reached 200,000 miles. The Subaru Forester and Outback aren’t found on any of the lists.
Subaru had its Forester, Outback, and Legacy models on the iSeeCars Top 10 ranked longest-lasting cars list as recently as 2016. In the 2016 iSeeCars list, Subaru Legacy was number 6, Outback number 9 and Forester number 10. In 2017 the Subaru Legacy ranked 6th on the Top 16 Longest-Lasting Cars list, Outback was 7th, and Forester ranked 8th overall.
But something changed two years ago. No Subaru vehicles made in the top-10 longest-lasting cars list in 2018 and 2019.
Actually, Subaru ranks in the top one-third of all brands. In the iSeeCars Most Likely to Reach 200,000 Miles by Make, Subaru is number 7 out of 18 automakers on the list, putting them in the top one-third of all automobile brands. Subaru ranks 0.6 percent of their vehicles reaching the 200K mile mark which is below the average at 1.0 percent, but the Japanese automaker ranks only behind Japanese rivals Toyota at 1.8 percent followed by Honda at 1.6 percent. American automakers GMC (1.4), Chevrolet 1.4), and Ford 1.1) are the other brands ahead of Subaru.
So what is Subaru’s problem? Why can’t it rank in the top 10 longest-lasting cars since 2016?
Subaru’s problem is that this Japanese automaker is too successful. Subaru of America has experienced tremendous growth over the last 11 years and this has led to a number of production problems for the Japanese automaker. They can’t build the new 2020 Forester, and Outback fast enough. The main factory in Gunma Japan that makes Forester was shut down in January over a power steering component defect and Subaru’s plant in the U.S. is running at full capacity making the new 2020 Outback and Ascent models.
Subaru Corporation is aware of the problems and is working hard to get them fixed. A recent Subaru report from Japan reveals they revised their Quality Policy in April 2019 and they are committed to improving quality in its two manufacturing plants.
Should you be concerned about buying a new 2020 Subaru Forester or Outback?
Subaru is making quality vehicles and Subaru cars scored ahead of Jeep, Dodge, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Kia, Audi, and Porsche. Are luxury car buyers staying away from Toyota’s premium brand, Lexus because they are number 13 on the iSeeCars list with 0.3 percent of their models likely to last over 200,000 miles?
As pointed out by an iSeeCars spokesperson, “With the right maintenance and care, all vehicles today have the potential to reach 200,000 miles.” If you buy a new 2020 Subaru Forester compact SUV or 2020 Outback wagon they will go well over 200,000 miles if you show them a little love. Change the oil often, have all major drivetrain comments serviced at recommended intervals, and don’t abuse your all-wheel-drive vehicle.

It took over 6 min to say "do your regular maintenance" ? Great, thanks
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i got bored waiting too!!!!
😂 😂 😂 😂
Lol.. Stopped watching the moment I read your comment
for some people regular maintenance is skipping an oil change. opening the hood every time they have a problem and blaming the car brand.
just because you can beat up a old Toyota engine doesn't mean that all engines are to be treated the same
my 2001 forester just turned 300.000 miles and all ive done engine wise is head gaskets. it uses no oil between changes and runs just great .its one of the most reliable cars ive ever had. regular oil changes and normal maitenance is all it gets and its a happy little car. ill probably buy another subaru soon enough.great cars
Just curious...did ur praise of ur car put a hex on it or are you still going strong?
@@samj1185 i still have it and still drive it
Haha quick where's some wood!!!@@samj1185
My mother in law has a 15 Crosstrek with CVT. It's at 230,000 + miles and the only thing its ever needed in its life was replacement of worn out ball bearings in the rear. Car has been flawless and an absolute beast in the snow. We had 18 inches of snow last winter and our generator ran out of fuel. The Trek made it through unplowed highways and exit ramps to the only gas station that was open. We were the only people on the road and in white out conditions on a dark night. We made it to the gas station and back home without issue.
Just bought a 2021 Subaru crosstrek, it seems incredible
Me 2😁
Dry clear and helpful
This is the TH-cam equivalent of waiting in line at the DMV.
🤣
Try a Crosstrek as mine has 188k with no issues. It has been where nobody goes and is my go to gold prospecting machine. I will exceed 300k simply by changing fluids and basic care. It literally can go anywhere. Exercise care and do not be afraid to walk a few trails to figure the best way to transverse a zone. I have a 3k prospecting trip coming this month and it will yield solid values. I have Wildpeak A/T tires which are perfect for a Subie and a must in shist zones. Lastly learn to drive a manual as it enhances performance.

My 2002 impreza wrx just hit 200,000 miles and still going strong. 200k on an AWD sports car. Yes they are reliable.
how much did cost basic maintenance on that vehicle?
Junk
I own a 2015 Forester with the 6MT. I currently have 325,000 miles on it. It does burn about 1/2 a quart of oil every 800-1000 miles and has done so even before its first oil change.
The first vehicle I ever owned was a 1985 Ford F-150 with a 351ci motor, and it burned less oil than my 2012 Impreza.
My 1992 Chevy Suburban doesn't burn any oil.
Where the fuck have you been driving to get 325k on a 2015 vehicle
I own a rav4 and I only do 5000 miles a year
Doesn't burn any oil ,only regular oil change every 3000 miles
@@flowerasteroid6241 I drive for a living. NEMT non-emergency medical transportation. I take people to dental medical psychiatric appointments.
I'm at 180k miles and my 2005 legacy has notoriously burned oil as well
Thanks, but I'll stick with my 1965 Pontiac Strato Chief, the speedometer has rolled over so many times times
That I quit counting at 6
Almost 60 years of trouble free driving
They quit making them, because they lasted to long
I bought mine brand new when I was 16 years old
I’ve got a 2018 Outback with 150k miles. Besides scheduled maintenance, a strut and top coolant hose prematurely failed along with a CV. That’s it.
The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow
I don't understand how they come up with these numbers. Only 1-2 percent of cars reach 200 K miles?? That just can't be right. It does not make any sense. I would expect all cars to last at least that long. My last car lasted 300K miles before there was an engine failure that was not worth fixing and the car went to the junk yard. I figured that was pretty typical. AND how can you determine the number of 2017-2020 cars reaching 200K miles? They can't have been driven that far yet.
It takes 3 and half minutes for you to reach to the point, and your tip can work for all cars. Give me back my 6 minutes
Same here. 3 minutes of buildup for that? Take care of your car and change the oil?
My 2012 Impreza sport wagon had 245K when I sold it and purchased a Crosstrek. just replaced the radiator, battery, oil every 5K, tires and CVT fluid. Loved the car!
I drove a 2019 forester and it has a great suspension handles nice
Yes, we have heard many great things about the quality of Subaru quality and reliability. Thanks for the comment Steven. I hope you subscribe and stay in touch.
Stay away from anything with a CVT.
@Ultra CNC I've had my 2018 Forester for over 2 1/2 years now, with no indication of any oil consumption. For vehicles with oil consumption, checking the oil regularly would warn owners to add oil. Also have had no problems with the CVT.
I had the 20 MM stabilizer bar installed on my 2015 Forester and it feels quite a bit more positive going into and out of turns as well as better cross-wind handling. I have driven the 5th generation of Foresters (19/20) and I can tell it needs a bigger stabilizer bar, just as the 4th generation does.
I just got a subaru impreza to beat on in the winter, most problems ever. I should have just gotten a 4runner. Subarus are pieces of garbage. Everything wrong with them. Blowing up all the time because of multiple issues. If it doesn't blow up because of oil shortages all the time, it'll blow up because of low coolant or just going over 3000 rpm. Weak. Most people with subarus have to take apart the car itself just to get the key out of the ignition. Subaru is the worst car you can get now. I even think maybe FORD is doing better in terms or dependability. That's saying something.
My Outback Sport has 338,000 miles, original engine. EJ22
Great video, thanks!
Why take so long to tell us to keep up on maintenance?! Which parts are failing and what EXACTLY is the manufacturer trying to address? The whole point of watching this is to figure out the top issues and you delivered none!
Subaru is number 7 out of 18 automakers on the list and that puts them in the top one-third of all automobile brands? American Schools Mathematics Teachers believe that you have to be at least number 6 to be in top on-third! Close but no cigar.
Evidently most peeple will not properly service thr subarus causinf breakdown b4 time.
What bothers me as an American, Honda, Toyota, and Subaru were were at one time the most reliable vehicles on the road. Now that they all have manufacturers here in American, there are always recalls in all these vehicles. This needs to change, or they need to start making them in Japan again. They say they can't keep up with demand, B.S. was a country have the ability, they just want to spend less, and have people pay more. We, (my wife and I) love our 2015 and 2016 Subaru Foresters. Hopefully the quality returns everywhere! Thank you for the video.
I've owned Subarus since the 1990s and always run them to 200,000 miles. I change the oil every 3,000 miles. The only major problem I've experienced was blown head gasket in older subarus which is a well-known flaw in those older subarus.
all subarus with 2.5l motor.
Newer Subaru's too!
My '15 Legacy was leaking coolant into the combustion chamber. Getting the water pump, timing chain, tensioners, valve gaskets, ect.. all replaced too
What about the other vehicles like the legacy?
I have a legacy, typically its a solid car. I have never had an issue, however, i have only 106k miles on mine.
Sorry That's not true. As long as you change oil and air filter on time and never miss it, believe me it can last more than million miles.
Just never miss maintenance and take very serious otherwise any car will have problems
Where and how much is a CD player located in a 2021 outback
Very helpful video, thank you for doing it.
More than 20 years ago the consensus was that times had changed from cars regularly needing an engine rebuild around 120k miles.
In short, in the late 90s, if you bought a new car and took basic care (how people then knew to care, not today), there was no reason not to expect 200k miles.
"If you can't get 200k miles out of a car it's because there was something wrong from the factory"
Today's increase of complexity, poor quality control, lack of rubustness in favor of lightness and increased MPG, combined with people being only willing to add gas and turn the key makes all this no surprise.
Today, we can expect reliability that was no better than on the 60s.
My scion Xa just turns 170000 miles without a tinny issue! Not even a light bulb broke!
I have owned a 2005 2.0XN for about ten years, she has 120,000 mile on her and still runs like new. I was so impressed that I gave into temptation and bought her a big brother, a 2008 XT PPP. Probably the last two cars I will ever own. What other car can climb a mountain in the morning, and then give your Evo owner a run for his money in the afternoon? ;)
I think this video of yours is very good but wrongly titled
I have a 2007 Legacy wagon. Runs good now but I also just put 15k dollars in it for head gasket two times plus a bunch of other work. 150,000 miles....
15k lol just get a used car for that

@@lirider3932 dont need luck i have toyota you know it
If you're the kind of person who works on your car, it's extremely inexpensive no matter the vehicle. If you pay for maintenance to be done, your best bet is to trade it in between 60,000-70,000 miles no matter the vehicle.
I had a Jeep Patriot with a bad timing sensor on the underside of the engine, the shop wanted $550 dollars to replace it. I bought the sensor for $25 and replaced it in 30 minutes after watching a TH-cam video.

I keep telling my wife "EVERYthing is on TH-cam", and lucky me, I’m a visual learner.
I just learned this the hard way at 2015 Subaru Impreza going 111,000 miles. Spent over $5000 in repairs.
@Skunkers7 Seriously, how did any know how to do anything before TH-cam?
I have a 2007 Impreza with 350000km (217000miles) on it. Still going strong, but drinks oil for breakfast and thirsty for lunch :-)
Simply use quality fs oil and change regularly. Done.
I’m at 153k miles on my 2014 outback original everything besides brakes and oil and stuff like that, but it seems like the transmission is going to give out soon, because I am experiencing a 2 to 3 second delay, when I put my car into reverse and drive backwards and then I put it in to drive to go forward, it takes about 2 to 3 sec to respond. I’m prepared when it does. The engine though, fantastic. The only thing I had to replace was the radiator. Because it has a leak. But so far so good.
If you serviced the oil every 36,000 miles, it is probably the solinoids going on the transmission. These are contained in the throttle body on the CVT and it can be replaced for about $750. That will get you to at least 200,000 miles. The solinoids tend to go around 150,000 even if the transmission is maintained. That is the only known fault with the later CVTs they built. Good luck.
What about the Subaru crosstreck?
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi there,SUBARU still battle with HEAD GASCKET and CVT gear system problems. I advise the company to work with either TOYOTA or MERCEDES to give them a hand is checking this issues. They can't perfect everything in cars. We know they perfected SYMMETRICAL all wheel drive which I like,but I am afraid these two issues mey ruin the car integrity of the SUBARU if they don't act fast- Rufai Mohammed Aminu Nigeria
topic starts about 3m19s. ran out of patience before he got to any kind of a point though, but let me guess, change the oil more often?!
15.8 million cars sold in 2019 to see the percentage of cars which lasted 200,000mi... What's that, like 100,000 miles a year?? Something tells me this study is drastically flawed
Please, consider following us also on Twitter at twitter.com/torquenewsauto for daily Tesla and EV breaking stories.
This list is a very specific list and will show which cars are reliable for a subset of owners.
To get to 200k miles depends on two things. Firstly, and most importantly that the owner (or subsequent owner) wants to maintain their car that long and secondly, that the car can actually make it to 200k mi.
What you may have failed to take into account is that Subaru buyers are changing. With an increase in price, the type of buyers are no longer those looking for a cheap, affordable long lasting vehicle (because they intend to keep it that long). The buyers are those that will likely get an Outback now, then trade it in for another one before possibly before it hits 50k miles. The traded in car, gets traded and traded until it’s worthless or written off leading to a vehicle that doesn’t get to 200k miles, not if it’s own accord but because of the type of buyer and use.
This is the reason the list is almost exclusively full of body on frame trucks whose owners run them into the ground.
You’ll never find something like a Lexus or Mazda on their (the two most reliable brands in the US two years running according to US consumer reports), because the owners are also now have more expendable income to keep getting new.
The US market has become a wealthier market year on year since the financial crisis of 08. But truck drivers are truck drivers and the list will always be dominated by trucks now
Hola. Cuando lo tendrán en español
We’ve had 5 or 6 Subarus over 30 years. Very few troubles. A couple free recalls. I hear a lot on head gaskets, any one know if the anti-freeze is changed often enough, that helps gaskets to last longer, less corrosion going on?? Dump the CVT fluid maybe every 80,000?
Dump the cat fluid every 40000 miles. That's close to what they say for extreme use but cats hate dirty fluid and you get less then 50% of the old fluid out when you dump it. A quality trans cooler does wonders.
@@eleventy-seven yes. I agree and did get new CVT fluid in at 44,000 for peace of mind as long as I’m retired and keeping it longer. My mechanic saw the filter bolted on right there once pan removed and requested a new one, said Subaru does not sell new CVT filters. Seems irksome, unwise. We live in town now and drive little. Like 4000 miles per year each max. Winter time I have to regularly put automated battery charger on since we don’t drive far. There must be parasitic current draw for modern electronics computer stuff. Irksome. Same garage and 24 year old Chev pickup never needs winter charge. I’ve switched synthetic oil changes from miles to time, 6 months. We save on gas by not driving far now. Have a good day.
The video was nice but I didn't understand what did he meant by "not abusing your 4wd"
I assume it means don't abuse the car doing a lot of off-roading? My legacy is too low to do any of that.
Your video did not answer my question about the solidity of their cvt '' all drivetrain component that served at recommend interval '' at 6:03 , does not teach me what to do or not to do with the oil change for the cvt ?...especially since according to the manufacturer no oil change there is required .
That is from Subaru of America. Don't listen to them. Get a transmission drain and fill every 60,000 mile at the most. Sooner if you tow.
I h ad an 83 Subaru that went 365,000 miles. After they went to the double overhead cam engines, they have had nothing but trouble with over heating and blowing head gaskets. I love the boxer engine and I loved the old subaru's but will not buy the ones made today.

Hi guys am planning to purchase a used a Subaru forester 2017 what is the best advice you can give me?
That sounds a bit obvious. Do your maintenance but what is it that's failing most commonly?
I have an idea: Maintenance! Maintenance! Maintenance! Whether you're able to perform the maintenance yourself or have a service centre do the maintenance for you, it needs to be done if you want the engine, and therefore the car, to run reliably forever. It's just how it is.
Did he just say Subaru scored ahead of Lexus or my 👂 have hearing issues
I just traded my almost like new 2018 Outback with 153,000 sMiles. Great vehicle and probably should have kept it
Wow.. regular maintenance ..who would have never guessed it. I had a 2005 Subaru Forester for 10 years . They are very reliable up to 180 km but then start to cost real money to keep on the road. I held on until 230 km and it was 15 years old . I had so much fun in our quebec winters . I loved the car but came to my senses eventualy. Note..my head gaskets unbelievably never blew but the car leaked oil, the moon roof had some trouble closing occasionally, the rear wiper motor gave way. The driver side window motor died. The starter went, the fuel neck was rotting at the top. The exhaust was leaking, the rubber door seals sagged. The driver mirror broke upon tucking it in so I siliconed it in place. The timing belt was do..so were the brakes and tires..subframe rotted but fixed for free by subaru because of recall in U.S...total cost of repairs was higher then the value of the car. It developed a stumbling towards the end and left me stranded but eventually started up again but I. Did not trust it after that..I sold it with great sadness..I got 4000$ cnd ..so good resale . I m looking for another one but for sure not keep it past 180 km.
So, are you saying the 2017-2019 are crap?
8 minutes of statistics and fluff, you never said anything about Subaru reliability or engines
Yes, Correct, Forester, Outback will last…..actually to 300,000mi, long as consumer follows maintenance schedule. Note! From Trusted Dealer! Yes, again…Forester and Outback have longevity if you follow this rule. Problem is ‘other’ models may not reach 200k. Power steering, other issues were corrected with other models.
I want the 6 minutes of my life back. :(
The benchmark for new cars should be at least 300k-400k, my 1992 Chevy Suburban has over 200k on the original drivetrain.
I bought a 2012 Impreza new and it lasted 5 years before the transmission failed at 110k. Took care of it, Never missed scheduled maintenance at the Subaru dealership, used it for a daily driver and to go visit my parents in Montana, never raced or abused it. From day 1 it would burn a quart of oil every 1,500 miles and Subaru told me it was normal.
I like Subaru, I just want them to build better cars before I ever get another.
My father owns 2 vans that he packs with supplies for work and they currently have a bit over 300,000 miles. I own a subaru legacy that currently has 195,000. The transmission failed at 160,000. We replaced it with one with 150,000 miles on it which failed after 10,000 miles. I currently have a transmission with 60,000 miles on it and have added 10,000 miles and is running fine but can feel rough at times. I love the interior of my car and it drives well but the money I have put into this car due to subaru's shitty designing isn't ok. I won't be buying a subaru ever again.:/
@@gregl4453 Did you do a drain and fill on the transmission every 60,000 miles? I have a neighbor who only buys Subaru. Some of his vehicles are modified like crazy, so yeah, he is totally into Subaru. He was telling me that Subaru of Japan recommends a drain and fill every 60,000 miles, while Subaru of America say the transmission fluid is "lifetime" which is bullshit. No such thing as any "lifetime" automotive fluid. He had a drain and fill done every 60,000 on all his vehicles and has had no transmission problems in 300,000 miles. I don't own a Subaru, but it sounds to me that Subaru of America is creating this problem in telling customers no transmission service is needed.
@@markantony3875 I never did. But I did eventually come to realize that the transmission fluid should be changed, and you should disregard the "lifetime" package. Subaru does this go lower the "yearly maintenance costs" of ownership. I am now going to be draining my transmission fluid every 60,000k miles. Sadly, I bought my subaru preowned. So either way, the misinformed buyer before me wouldn't have changed the fluid. The Subaru of Japan standard for transmission fluid changes should be spread as much as possible. People don't have the money to replace transmissions every 5-10 years. I find it repulsive that Subaru of America chose to increase buying incentives this way. (most likely a dismissible amount of sales increases). Although, I still love my Subaru lol.
@Greg :l Had a 2013 Legacy that I put 182,000 miles on. The didn't leak oil, was Fluid Filmed from day 1, changed the cut Fluid at 95,000 miles and the trans just went. To spend $5k on a car with 182k doesn't seem smart. So I gotta buy a new car. Loved the Legacy, but screw Subaru
According to Forbes (2019), Subaru owners: A) are among the most credit-worthy applicants for non-luxury brand auto loans; and B) have prime credit scores. I'm sure Subarus are well built for the most part; however, I suspect those credit-worthy Subaru borrowers having their finances in order enables them to pay for repairs and scheduled maintenance on time, thus keeping their Subarus running better for longer.
Nah. Subarus last longer because their owners are always adding fresh oil lol.
What a load of crap. Service on time I've had two subarus bith done well over 500000kms with next to no issues. Like everything you don't service they will fail
178000 miles on a '17 2.5i Forester.
No problems.
Replace the powertrain every 50k miles.
If I'm hearing you right...you're jumping around and mixing the year in which testing was done and the actual production year of the cars tested....certainly you're not going to have many 2018 production year subaru's with 200,000 miles on it yet to be tested if the tests were done in 2019 or 2020. Am I missing something here?
Jeff, you have a good point there too. I said that was only part of the problem. But you have a good point too. That means we need to looks into something else as to why Subaru's are not top rated. However, look at the last paragraph that I am talking about. It's not bad at all.
Perhaps if Subarus were used as taxis, you would find 1-3 year old models on the 200k mile list. LOL
Bought a 2013 Legacy, Fluid Filmed the underside to stop rust, changed the oil myself every 3 to 4 thousand miles, changed the cvt fluid at 100,000 miles and the trans just blew up at 182,000. The car is mint everywhere but the trans. But it'll cost 5 to 6 grand to fix. I got a full 5 months of no car payment before it blew, now i have to start all over and buy another car. I've seen tons of stories like mine. Screw Subaru
ANY car will make it to 200K miles if you do the proper maintenance. Nothing new here!
"13% of their mothers likely to last over 200,000 miles" i had to rewind. Them captions tho.
200k miles? Tsss my accord has 340k I got with 180k just change oil and put gas…ohh replaced a set of tires, still run like when was at 180k miles
look again.
Still doing your maintenance doesn’t work! Our Outback has always been serviced on time by the dealership and I have to shell out $5k to fix the cylinder head gasket issue and new radiator.
Sounds like it's worse than bmw 😂
Why?!?
you can cheat by change oil regukar and change spark plug revery secon service change oil filter try and get good quality oil filter oil spark plug like castrol pen rite agip.
Modern Subarus need more maintenance than the older ones. For example, Subaru recommends in America that you never touch the CVT transmission oil. Most mechanics who know the CVT say you want the car to last 150,000 miles without a CVT problem, replace that transmission oil every 36,0000 miles. Even then, expect the Throttle Body on the transmission which contains the solinoids will fail around 150,000 miles which will cost about $750 to fix. If you are willing to do both things, then the CVTs Subaru sells can get you to 200,000. If you don't, then the clutch will fail before that point, and you will need a new transmission costing a few thousand to fix. Even doing all this the transmissions tend to fail with maintenance just past 200,000 in many cases.
No shit Sherlock. Fukin genius.
Luckily I was taking a dump while watching this so I didn’t waste to much time, I am multitasking lol
Where is this list link please

Thanks for the comments.. didn’t bother to watch the boring video!
200,000 miles is not good enough! My neighbor has a 2004 F150 with over 300,000 miles and his wife has an Infinity Q35 also with over 300,000 miles !!!
The problem is CVT, period.
Only if you never replace the transmission fluid. No transmission will last if you don't replace the fluid.
Susbaru is headed downhill. 2024 moving forward is going to get ugly.
K. What about 2017, 2018, and 19? 😆 🤣 Plus. How do they reach these conclusions on cars that are barley 4-5 years old? 🤔
How much is maintenance? After 100k?
If you're the kind of person who works on your car, it's extremely inexpensive no matter the vehicle. If you pay for maintenance to be done, your best bet is to trade it in between 60,000-70,000 miles no matter the vehicle.
I had a Jeep Patriot with a bad timing sensor on the underside of the engine, the shop wanted $550 dollars to replace it. I bought the sensor for $25 and replaced it in 30 minutes after watching a TH-cam video.
5:55 "Change the oil Regularly." Wow, I never would have thought of that!!
I live in NH and my outback in the winter time is a blessing . AWD got love it !! Change your oil regularly and get a tune up once a year or depending how many mile you drive and you will be fine . 2.5 is a great engine and gas mileage is good for AWD .. The only reason why I bought a outback and not a forester is the outback is built on a truck chasse better for towing ..
Gee , a 2018 subaru hasn't gotten over 200,000 miles !? In 3 years !!?? Are you insane ?? How many miles do you drive a year 70 ,000 ??? Good God where do they find these idiots !! My 2007 Forester has 218,000 it took 13 years !!
Buick one of the most reliable? Somethings out of whack here.
Have any of you noticed dents in your front qtr. panels. of your brand new Wilderness Outback? Please reach out so we all can get this taken care of, by Subaru. We think it was a bad batch of thin metal they used to form the body panels. If we stand together we can get this factory problem fixed. Thank you.
I have an '09 Tacoma. Why am I watching this? 😅😅😅
even in my country there is no subaru :D
You must wanna switch to a better vehicle.
Won't make it to 200 k without costly repairs. Just simply reality.
ahead of lexus....hmm...call bulshit
Toyota's quality isn't like it was 20 years ago.
He doesn't talk about the repairs your engine pistons, rod bearings, and gaskets will need.
A complete teardown for noise from the engine is required to get to the most difficult parts that have failed on every one I have seen with noise. There are also external causes of similar noises that mimmick internal issues.
It takes attention and careful diagnosis with research about the specific year, displacement, and type of noise and what's required to reproduce it for isolating it's cause.
A second engine built and ready to install would not be a bad idea if you could come by the parts, tools, and know-how at your home garage.
It gets really simple once you have pulled one, and have the things you would need.
If you enjoyed repairing your own vehicle, and feeding parts to one, the way they are on the road may be the enjoyable reward for all your labor and attention.
If you're paying out of pocket to a tech, it is going to be expensive once you start to approach 80k.
Not every car and every engine are exactly the same, but many of them have engine repair and later, issues deeper in the rotating assembly are found to need repair.
Pulling it out and tearing it down fully in the first place can lead to more success saving parts and labor.
You can short block one and build it on a stand and have it ready to go in when the noises start bothering you.
I haD one 600 000 not problem
200,000 miles if you add a quart of oil every thousand miles to compensate for all the oil burning in their engines.
Joseph DeVincentis what a load of rubbish.
Sounds like you have an EJ engine
In mother Russia, Subaru drive you
Is fake video
200.000miles 🤣🤣🤣 audi mercedes bmw alfa romeo teach more 50000km
Blah blah Maintnence blah blah
basically anyyyyyyy car with cvt and turbo totalllly suck, avoid like the corana 19 ;)😂😂😂😂😁😁
So basically don't avoid it at all???
Subaru need to stop making boxer engine and start making 4 inline and 6 inline. It will be more problem that will never be solved. Even though they released their new engine 2.4L turbo in Ascent, Legacy and Outback. It will still going to have a problem with the engine issued such as blown gasket, valve spring, pcv, and etc. Soon or later they will have a recall in the near future for 2.4L turbo because they already started having a recall on all of the 2.0L on model 2018 and up. Even though Subaru got the best AWD in the world but dont mean anything because they need to fix blown gasket issues and bad valve spring on their vehicle. Good luck Subaru.
There is nothing wrong with the Boxer engine design.
Agreed! The boxer engine is an outdated design that was put into mass production by Volkswagen in 1938. It's ancient 82 year old technology that can only be modernized so much.
The boxer engine's flat design is also its biggest downfall, as it's very complex and has more moving parts than a traditional engine. The boxer design is constantly fighting gravity which causes the pistons to wear unevenly, and fluids to pool towards the bottom of the engine, creating hot spots. This causes the piston rings, cam seals, bearings, head gasket, and oil seals to prematurely wear out over time.
I bought a brand new SH Forester and I am very happy with it, but the car is already on it's second engine at 50k miles.
If Subaru used straight 4 cylinder engines, the vehicles would have less problems and last much longer.
If only Toyota and Subaru would team up, you have the best engines with the best all wheel drive systems ever! 😉
@@VKSgtSLaughter I agree with you.
The boxer engine is what separates itself from other manufacturers. The boxer design is unique to the Subaru lineup. I haven’t heard any modern Subaru (2015+) with head gasket issues. I currently own a 2019 Crosstrek and the car has been great. Some of you guys continue to bash a company that has improved its quality in the past 15 years. That’s my two cents. If you know how to take care of your car you should be able to make it to 200,000 miles.
@@VKSgtSLaughter What year was your new Forester and would you buy a new Forester today?? I'm trying to decide between a Honda or a Subaru SUV. The issues with boxer engines seems to be the downfall, the lack of parts and mechanics who work on them after the warranty is up and having to buy parts at a dealership.
