265 000 miles on my 98 Legacy STW. 2.5 AT. No problems, just maintance. Great car.

I own a 2003 Subaru forester with 200, 000 miles and still runs great.

[MRBUCKY]

I bought my wife a 2000 legacy 10. Years ago. She has 260, 000. Only normal maintenance. She loves it

[robbflynn]

Have a 2019 Forester. Bought it new. Nearly 100, 000 miles. Zero issues. I change engine oil and filter every 5, 000 miles. Burns no oil. Averages 30 mpg. I'm really happy with it, although I wanted an RAV4, but my wife preferred the Forester.

[Subie-Driver]

We drove our 2011 outback 11 years and 255, 000…engine was great! Our current 2018 crosstrek has 148, 000km…been flawless. Our 2022 forester I expect to be just as reliable.

I had two Subaru outback’s (98 and 09). The handling was outstanding, but I had to have the head gaskets done in BOTH of them. ($4K each!) Love/hate relationship to be sure. Now a Lexus RX owner and never going back.

Here in England the 6 cyl boxers are reckoned to be the best of the lot, certainly my experience, chain drive on the 6 pot too.
Our 2.5 turbo Forester runs great, still looks new at 15 years.
Subarus need decent maintenance or they will give trouble, its neglected cars that go wrong, spark plugs are horrible to change but normal maintenance is easy, how many other cars still have 3 dipsticks under the bonnet, engine gearbox and front diff.
Our Forester even has its own spin on oil filter for the auto gearbox, no need to take the sump off, just refit a new oil filter same as you would doing an engine oil change.
The downside to them is they arn't good on fuel, but nothing grips or drives like a Subaru, try keeping up with one on wet twisty roads, can't have everything.

On our third Subaru Forester. Had an ignition coil go, and it took out both catalytic converters. Subaru replaced both free of charge. Had an air conditioning hose leak cost a few hundred to replace. No other problems. Loyal to Subaru!

[BobbyOjala]

Six cylinder engine 178000 miles. Zero engine problems. Scotty!!! You’re all over the place brother. One video you love the Subaru next video they’re trash

[brianeighties]

Hey Scotty, people often neglect to change the pcv valve on these Subarus causing most of the oil leaks. Change that thing every 60k miles they’re cheap and easy to do.

[Zach-jc]

I’m a Subaru technician, the newer boxers are completely junk. I’ve had to pull the engine on a wilderness forester with 12k miles to reseal the cam carriers

[NVRAMboi]

I've owned both a Subaru and Mazda, and both were solid and made it well past 100k. I've owned even more Toyotas, but now that Toyota (and Honda) are pricing themselves as premium brands, those days are probably over. Also very happy with my V6 Frontier that I now have (because Tacoma prices went into geo-stationary orbit). Thanks Scotty.

2010 forester 208000 miles all original parts. Works smooth. Also heated seats means heated windshield wiper melt pads

[tbone]

I've owned a 2012 Impreza with well over 100, 000 miles and have never had one problem. A great little car and it has the best all wheel drive system made.

[commosection]

I just bought a 2023 Subaru Forester out right so i didn't feel the need to spend another 10 plus grand for a Honda or Toyota vehicle loaded with sensors which is new to me since my last new vehicle was a 1998 pickup truck which i fixed most of it's faults myself but modern technology scares me plus at my age i will be happy if it last 10 years since my last 2 vehicles are still running good 1994 dodge dakota/1998 dodge ram

[hardikp]

I do have 2015 Subaru Forester with 194k miles. Running good still.

[mytwocents]

Some Toyota four cylinder motors had a problem with oil burning years ago

[richardtannehill]

I have a 15 Forester I've had since new and have 135, 000 miles on it with few problems. The 2.5 engine uses about 1/3 qt/5, 000 miles between changes. So, no reason to be afraid of Subaru engines.

[nicholassuriano]

I bought a 2017 Impreza brand new.... my first and LAST Subaru! All-Wheel drive was the best ever.... but I had 7 recalls, the rear brakes got messed up and wore the rotor down so they gave me new pads and resurfaced the rotor under warranty. The infotainment system never worked that good. Rust bubbles in the black paint after only 2 years, heat shield rotted away and rattled... coolant was below the low line and the dealer gave me trouble when I asked them to fill it up. The cvt transmission never felt right... you could feel it skip and jerk even when I had cruise control on. And the final straw was when I was driving on the freeway and went to pass someone and when I slowed down the engine made a loud knock/ticking sound and that never went away. I only had 52, 000 miles on it so the engine was still under warranty.... but at that point I was done and traded it in for a different brand. Never again Subaru!!!
