I installed new rear kyb SR4484 coil/struth assembly on my 2010 forester. The forester feels so much better, no noise or clunking.
Concerns are kind of valid but in my case, I have 60k km on my 2021 Outback and have not even a nick and my other two Subarus had busted windshields within the first year. The touchscreen might not be the fastest in the industry but it's not horrible day to day and I use it a ton with Android Auto.
I'm running some Raybestos R300 rotors from Rockauto no issues.
I got a set of Pirelli Scorpion Weather Active SL tires to replace the OEM rubber. These are also TPMS tires and at this point, I am very happy with them. They have great traction in snow (not as good as a pure winter tire, but close), are quiet and ride well. Handling is about the same.
We have a 2019 Crosstrek Limited with Eyesight and no sunroof that my fianc\u00e9 bought new and now has ~78k miles on it. Zero mechanical issues, did the brakes at around 75k miles, and did have the head unit die earlier this year, which was not fun (Subaru of America thankfully warrantied the unit after reaching out to them). Interior wears pretty well considering she doesn't take care of the car much and she often takes our 2 large dogs around in it. For the money, I think they are hard to beat, even with the CVT.
Aisin is the best name in the game currently. I’ve had one on my Forester for ~90k and 5 years. I recently pulled the motor to do piston rings and the only issue I noticed was the splined sprocket had a very mild bearing grind. Would have been an issue in like 30k miles but for now, totally fine and well within the 100k mile spec.
I seem to get 45k km from each full set of Goodride SA07s (215/45/ZR17). This is on a Subaru Legacy that spends most of its time above 80kph.
I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.
2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness owner here, got the same issue, started at about 38000km. Now an hour commute to work and the sticky steering is driving me bonkers!
It's a known issue that Subaru batteries fail much too early. Subaru began warranting great numbers of them a few years ago.... And they kept using "The same faulty batteries"!!! ...and they still are.
