ashton_subaru Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hi , I have a 2001 Forester that had it's head gaskets changed at 95,000 km ( on warranty thank heavens) . This is higher mileage than average but mostly highway , driven by my wife , routinely maintained. Not impressed so far with reliability but my wife loves her car so I put up with the problems. I personally have owned Hondas , Mazdas, Volkswagens and had alot less problems ( all went over 200,000 km with only routine maintenance) : Sub 95,000 km issues : ignition coil replaced - cracked rear bearings clutch shudder head gaskets replaced constant engine light due to fuel tank pressure/solenoids soft brake pedal rear tailgate lift cylinder - one side 4 new tires at 70,000 km what's next ???

Bill Noting wrong with 4 tires in 70000 miles IMO. I went through 8 tires in more or less same time. As for "soft brake pedal", isn't this a feature of subaru cars and not a problem? The other items do sound like a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
