This means you've been taking care of those vehicles. Changing oil every interval of 3-5 thousand miles, etc. I'm just talking about the people who abuse the vehicles by not changing oil, putting stress on the engine.
I bought my first Subaru two years ago, an Outback Wilderness. Subaru engines have evolved, but they still require maintenence and it's slightly more costly than other brands. I anticipate 300k miles out of this car.
I bought a 89 Honda crx back in 89 brand new from the dealership. I beat the heck out of that car for 10 years and still got 230k miles out of it. Could I have gotten more miles out of it? I’m sure of it. If you want your car to go 300k and more just be nice to it and do the maintenance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Yes, in the early Subarus they used a single layered graphite coated head gasket. This is a problem back then where under heat and age chips and wears the gasket where pieces of the graphite get into the engine and cause oil to leak and pressure to build in the engine.
Reviewing back to this video over a year later if you noticed i forgot what engine was replaced to the FB series engines at 3:33. The FB25 models replaced the EJ253 boxer Engine after 2011 for blowing head gaskets and oil consumption issues, this was in the middle of the 3rd gen Foresters from 2009-2013 model years
Ej22 is the most reliable Subaru Engine. 295,000 1996 Legacy 🚘 1997 Subaru Outback EJ25D 200,000 miles internal head gasket concern. 2005 Subaru Baja 5 speed 225,000 miles and counting… yeah the head gaskets did go at 150,000… DIY friendly and update to MLS gasket and be set for the next decade (with maintenance) I’d say i’m a fanboy and will admit Toyota and Honda are superior for reliability… In the snow and under a financial budget Subaru meets my expectations. YMMV.
Yes well I just got back from the dealer because the TCV failed after 21 k miles. There is a class action lawsuit about this issue. Before that the windshield just popped for no reason. Another major issue. I have owned them for 20 years. I am looking to trade it in as soon as possible. Done with Subaru.
Who are they are way over priced now. The driver assist is stupidly expensive after warranty. And care take over your autonomy. No thanks. Gaskets? Oh come on, those days are long gone. Now it a whole lotta other problems. Love the AWD, but no, Toyota or Honda buddy.
They have great ratings by consumer reports.
Consumer Reports can easily receive biased information.
I have a 2018 Subaru Forester I love it I have not had a single problem with it just regular maintenance
My buddy has 400000K on his Subaru . I love my Crosstrek 😊
Very nice! I have 3 Impreza and 1 Crosstrek these are really good vehicles
I had 2 legacy’s, a wrx, an Outback and now a Crosstrek. None have been unreliable.

True. Maintenance is key to long gevity of a vehicle
It was the material used in the head gaskets, which was corrected.
Yes, in the early Subarus they used a single layered graphite coated head gasket. This is a problem back then where under heat and age chips and wears the gasket where pieces of the graphite get into the engine and cause oil to leak and pressure to build in the engine.
I have 22 years of owning Subaru Foresters, and other than the 2004 head gasket, problem, my Subaru s have been reliable.

Write out what you want to say
Gogle facts offscreen then edit the video so that is less dead speech

Your vocabulary is a trainwreck man! 😮 but yes I agree w you about your points in this video.
most reliable in my opinion!!

What year is yours? It was stupid to get rid of the thermostats.

Did he say that Subarus are air cooled?
The original boxer Engine from the Volkswagen Beetle was air cooled and or water cooled
