Always use a genuine Subaru thermostat. Think of it this way - $40 for a thermostat shipped to your door is better than putting a new $10 in every 3 months.
Pros: reliable, long-lasting
Cons: frequent failure
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I've been running a redtop in my Outback for 8 years now. Still shows no signs of slowing down. Will be getting another one for sure.
Pros: no signs of slowing

Having had a set of Pilot Alpins on a car, I can tell you that they're fantastic tires in nearly every situation. Only criticism is treadwear.
Pros: fantastic tires
Cons: treadwear

We had Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds on our Outback - outstanding traction in rain and snow/slush.
Pros: outstanding traction

I bought a set of Altimax Arctics last November for my Outback, and I've been driving on them ever since. In the rain, they're great. On dry pavement, they're great. On snow, they're awesome. Little bit more noise than non-snows, but worth it in my opinion. I have 30K on mine and they're wearing nicely. Still lots of tread left. For the price, you can't go wrong.
Pros: great in rain, awesome in snow, good wear
Cons: little more noise
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 30000 km
Since the new alternator cost me $100, and the plugs and cables $50, why not! I've never even changed my oil before, but I just changed my friggin' alternator. Now, my car is running sooo much better, and my check engine light is gone.
Pros: car running much better

I want to replace the alternator myself, but I can't find where to get OEM parts for a reasonable price. The dealership is charging $340 for the part and the best I can find is this [Bosch alternator](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C64QHE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=TXMF4LHVIWCE&coliid=IN63F3OG0M77W) on Amazon which they state is new, but it seems like all Bosch alternators are remanufactured. Why is it so damn complicated to find high-quality replacement alternators?!
Cons: remanufactured alternators
Vehicle:

Anecdotally, it seems that the Carlex brand glass is my much more susceptible to chips and cracks than the Pilkington branded glass.
Cons: susceptible to chips and cracks

the EJ25D, famous for blowing its head gasket and mixing oil and coolant inside the motor (in-laws had that happen, twice).
Cons: prone to blowing, mixes oil/coolant
