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.
My energy cost per mile is 1/5 to 1/7 of my ICE vehicle. My maintenance costs are 1/2 or less than my iCE vehicle.
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
I replaced the brakes myself around 95k miles. Dealership said they were fine but I replaced them anyway.
the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.
Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
Factory brakes in my 2021 we’re pretty low quality, lasted about 3 years.
I thought the brakes sucked
