Subalicious mah Niqqa's

My wife wanted one when the rav4 got totaled a couple years ago. I was not thrilled about going away from Toyota, because they’ve treated us really well for a long time, but it’s her car, so... we got a loaded 2016 Forester with low miles and it’s a really nice vehicle. Very smooth and quiet on the highway, very roomy for my big frame. I’ve had it on bad roads in Utah, Nevada, CA, and at Steens in SE OR and I gotta say, while these computer controlled traction setups feel weird as hell, the thing claws it’s way up slippery stuff (smooth polished rocks, or gravel on hardpan, or like that, haven’t messed with mud) amazingly well. Have not had it on snow to any significant degree but it looks like I will in a few days here.

The CV tranny is a trip.

Post about guys. You don’t fit the bill. Go back to your sockpuppet(s).

We purchased an Subaru Hatch Back 1 year old back in the 80s
When we had to have new front axles installed we had to give the damb thing to our Mechanic and he had to have the Dealer Rep come out to match up the right axles they made something like 6 different ones for that year car.
Then we had the Distributor go bad and when they matched it up it took a distributor for a car for a car that was built 6 years after ours.
Subaru Hodge Podged that year together.
And we had to wait for parts to be shipped in from over seas.
Probably the best car I have ever owed and I will Never own another one.

Not worried about my man card.. Have a 17 Outback with the 3.6, it will go places it has no business trying to go to. Wife does love it, however. One of the very few vehicles we have had that both of us like. 80K+ with no issues.

i'd put my outback up against any 4x4 for snowy roads. the only thing that stops it is if you high center it really bad. then you just back up and ram away. my f250 isn't even close. plus i can haul 8ft lumber, gravel, mulch, dead deer or 3 passengers no problem all while getting 26mpg on hilly roads. it is the most practical vehicle i have ever owned.

They're the perfect vehicle for those who like to replace timing belts, head gaskets, and dual offset joints.

Go for it!

One of my elk hunting buddies swapped his Tahoe for an Outback. He loves that dang thing and is not shy about pushing limits in it (he gets a brand new car ever 2-3 years).

Ours is the 4-banger Boxer engine and uses 0W-20 oil and the first time I changed the oil on it that surprised me... that stuff pours like water.

The Eyesight setup is slick.... seems to be the direction all higher-end rigs are going. I guess I like it but I worry about the costs when things start to break.

Yet. They dropped their 3.6 engine and now only use a turbocharged 4 cylinder and a CVT good luck with that combo.

Newsflash 0w-20 is not limited to Subarus Mr I can't open a box of Nosler bullets.

I was very surprised to find a scooby do at the top of the mountain where we were elk hunting yesterday. It was an outback. The trails aren’t that bad, but there was a fair amount of snow.

My wife has one as we get a fair amount of snow here and a 2wd can leave you stranded. It does great as long as the snow isn’t high enough that you’re plowing it with the front bumper.

yep

0w20 in the GX 460.....8.5 qts

as mentioned runs like water

Well, as far as I know it's the turbo 4 bangers that have head gasket issues. Guess I will find out, as the 3.6 is not a turbo and a flat 6.

A friend of mine had a Subaru Legacy years ago. That car would go anywhere. They are great in the snow but I could never own one. Inside each man is Lesbian trying get out…

Laugh all you want, but I have a 2018 Subaru Forester with 60,000+ miles. I've had Zero problems other than one nail in a tire.
The timing belt and head gasket issues were from many years prior. I'm not gay either and have no issues driving one.
Their advertisements were a joke though. I also have NO pets, another one of their crap advertisements!

I run Michelin Crossclimate2 tires. Best snow and ice vehicle I have ever owned for road use, bar none! I've had Ford F250's and Chevy 2500's in the past, both 4WD.
The Forester puts them all to shame for road use. No hubs to lock in or levers to pull for 4WD. It's just always there.

If I was out jumping terraces or rock climbing, I might choose otherwise. For normal snow and ice road conditions, I'll drive the Subaru any day and smile at those in the ditches.

all the Subaru owners coming outta the wood work now........

My son has a 2017 WRX STI that is a blast to drive. It came with a cold air intake filter and he's installed a full Borla exhaust and a Cobb tune. It flat scoots.

I thought they were lesbian cars

We are, for the most part, a Toyota family. But I have ridden in a couple of Subraru and didn’t have any complaints.

If your masculinity can be upset by buying a certain vehicle, I have bass news for you.

ahhhhh...rock lickers in Utah luv 'em
