If you checked the plugs and coils it's likely to be a clogged catalytic converter. The age of the car is right for this. This happened to me on my 2001 a few years back.
I had a 2017 Forester with 175k miles on it and only used factor oil and never had any issues. I did not do any off road stuff and it was only a premium model, not a wilderness model. I don’t think it matters as long as you change it regularly.
In my state I see people driving around with cosmetic mirrors taped to their car all the way to not even having a mirror all together.
The mirror is still there, you’re fine.
2014 impreza limited hatch — only 90K, routine maintenance (oil changes and replacing as needed brake pads, fluids, brake lights, tires, wipers).
aside from some repairs to back wheels (2 years ago) and a clog in my exhaust system that had to be cleared (7 years ago), this baby has been rollin along fine.
Use quality oil and filters, changing them often. To this end, oil pickup and baffle are sound upgrades.
My 7.5 yr old Forester is still on the original battery. I did need a jump a couple weeks ago after sitting with the lights on for a half hour, which was weird, but it's been fine since
Mainly the EJ25 Outbacks have problems due to the failure of their head gaskets being pretty much inevitable. Also 2012+ Outbacks have a bad rep for their CVTs, not because they're bad, but because Subaru America stated that the CVT fluid is a lifetime fluid when every other country recommends replacing it every 50,000 kms, causing US models to blow up their transmission after just over 100,000 miles. This isn't a problem if you service your CVT regularly.
Subaru glass is really thin especially if you have eyesight. Not good in a low car but it is what it is.
i wish i knew forester windshields chip and crack easily. my 24 forester limited has 26k miles on it. there's three large chips in the windshield and hundreds of small flecks missing.
I had blades replaced under warranty today and the usdm Subaru blades are not even close to the same. The they are taller and wider. I went back and asked for my old blades back i hate the replacement ones that much
