vs
Spark plug OEM FORD or OEM Subaru
Reviews
The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.
Pros: no other maintenance issues, capable offroad
Cons: expensive windshield, costly spark plug replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 98000 km
My 2015 outback has 140k miles. I just did spark plugs and belt, brakes. That's the only maintenance I've ever done other than tires and batteries.

Subaru Outback
Mileage: 140000 km
Subaru forester. Mine is a 15. Comfortable, decent gas mileage, able to seat 4 with stuff in back. Kayaks fit on roof. AWD helps in rain and snow. Easy to do basic maintenance, but spark plugs SUCK.

Stock Ford ones were $9 a piece at my local dealer…
I now dread doing spark plugs. Something that’s super easy to do on most 4 cyl cars is a PITA doing on my ej25.
Cons: spark plugs difficult to replace
These things literally blast out spark plugs ????. Lots of other tricky issues too. I'm know I'm very biased towards GM but I wouldn't mess with this generation at all for a Ford lol.
Cons: spark plugs blast out, tricky issues
