My mom's impreza will loose oil between oil changes with 0w-20 and will be fine with 5w-30. It burns the thinner oil.
Pros: fine with 5w-30
Cons: burns thinner oil
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
I’m in CNY. I took delivery of mine earlier this week and brought a new set of Vredestein Wintrac Pros for the dealer to mount before I even left the lot.
Pros: new set

My wife\u2019s 2012 Impreza is at 195k miles and I switched it to 0w-30 and then 5w-30 due to oil consumption. Was burning a quart every 1K miles on 0w-20, burns half that on 5w-30. I\u2019m actually considering going thicker.
Pros: burns half that
Cons: oil consumption
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Mileage: 195000 km
using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
Pros: keep oil burning down

I ended up going to batteries plus, getting a Duracell battery that they installed and warranty for 3 years ago for about $300.
Pros: 3 year warranty

I got a CVT. Fell in love more with cars and Subarus after owing one. Am too deep into mods and $ to sell it as it’ll be at a loss. I 110% agree manual provides a better drive and exp and regret my CVT however that being said.. I absolutely love my fkn car. Got all sorts of mods, safe with a safe dyno tune and dialed suspension etc. As my daily, it’s been the best car I’ve had so far. People shit on the auto which I can understand if you were around from the older gen times but the VA CVT still packs a punch and is super fun to drive especially on the twistys!
Pros: packs a punch, fun to drive, best daily car
Cons: regret CVT, manual better drive
Vehicle:
Subaru
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
Cons: uncomfortable rocks, will fail
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
Cons: terrible in cold weather
Vehicle:
Subaru
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
Cons: lose control easily
