First time I got aftermarket with calibration. Second time I skipped calibration, think it was like $500 and they did the install at my house. Eyesight works fine 2yrs later.
CVT price is pretty good. I paid 375 a few weeks ago for mine to get done.
OEM thermostat ALWAYS. Coming from the older EJ world, I've had numerous problems with aftermarket thermostats. Again cheap insurance using OEM.
I am no mechanic but my 2012 had a head gasket replaced at 166,000 no problems since , I am at 240,000
I just did my front lower control arms on my 14 FXT. It's the forward bushing that usually wears out and causes a vibration at highway speed. My driver side one was pretty bad.
I personally don’t like the way my wrx brakes. That’s just my personal preference. But yes the car brakes just fine for every day driving and isn’t a problem.
I finally went aftermarket for the battery and windshield replacement that last time and they did seem like upgrades. If you're having issues, don't go back to OEM replacements given that they're garbage.
Tick when running from the a/c condenser. Heard that's common, so I'd guess first thing to die will be a/c at some point.
I love the wrx but hate the cvt!
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
