POPULAR SUBARU MODELS
OUTBACK
The Subaru Outback is highly valued for its off-road capabilities and comfortable interiors, making it an excellent choice for adventurers and families. However, a recurring issue with older Outbacks is the failure of the head gaskets. Symptoms include overheating and white smoke from the exhaust. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) issues have also been reported, affecting the overall driving experience by causing the ride to be uneven or jerky. Regular inspections can help in early identification of these problems.
IMPREZA
The Subaru Impreza is a compact car with a solid reputation for fuel efficiency and safety. Nevertheless, some owners have reported electrical issues, especially concerning battery drainage. This usually requires a comprehensive electrical system check to identify the underlying issue. Moreover, Imprezas that have seen a lot of city driving are also prone to quicker brake wear. Signs to look out for include a soft brake pedal or squeaking noises when you apply the brakes.
FORESTER
The Subaru Forester is well-liked for its roomy interior and excellent handling. However, excessive oil consumption is a known issue with this model. This typically means you’ll be topping off the oil between regular changes more frequently than expected. Additionally, Forester owners have sometimes reported problems with the power steering, characterized by a stiff steering wheel or a whining noise during turns. Both of these issues are easier to manage when caught early.
CROSSTREK
The Crosstrek is popular for its compact size and off-road prowess. However, owners have reported some issues with the suspension system, resulting in a bumpy ride even on well-maintained roads. Additionally, some models’ infotainment system and sound quality have drawn complaints. While these issues are not as critical as engine or transmission problems, they can detract from the overall driving experience.
LEGACY
The Legacy is another dependable model from Subaru, offering a balanced mix of comfort and performance. However, it has suffered from air conditioning issues, particularly during hot summers. Problems could range from a refrigerant leak to a faulty compressor. Moreover, some Legacy owners have reported that dashboard lights and gauges can sometimes malfunction, affecting your ability to gauge your vehicle’s performance accurately.
