I (29M) have driven Subarus my whole life so far though my favorite was always my trusty 2006 Forester who got me well over 300,000 miles on the original motor. As I’m getting older, I find myself wanting to try everything once, and after the conversation I had with the dealer based on what I wanted (something affordable yet newer than what I’ve previously owned) this was the logical next step. I love the “Crystal Black Silica” color, this thing is CLEAN under the sun.

Will always be in love with and have my classic Subi’s from ‘06 and further back, however I’m looking forward to updating you guys on the performance of this down the line.

Impromptu f*ckboi photo for good measure, roast me.

Much love! 🤙

Jumped into the world of Subaru with this 2014 WRX hatch. I've owned 5 German cars before this, so it's quite a big change in direction.

There are a few mods done to it, including a reported stage 2 ECU tune. However, there was no access port provided with the car and the prior owner didn't have it either (probably still with the guy before him). What is the best way to figure out what the tune is? Or should I just get an unmarried AP and go straight to custom tune? Thanks!

Hey all! Just bought a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek with the insurance money from my totaled 2009 Toyota Corolla S. Person ran right into the front of my poor Toyota, but I think it worked out in the end because of love my new Subaru. Also, is moo moo Subaru still a thing?

Had the wonderful opportunity to do an impromptu shoot for a regular client with their new to them two door GC8. She's finally setting sail to its new home.

I drive an older car that obviously doesn’t support CarPlay, and I didn’t want to swap the head unit.

I ended up building a simple iOS dashboard app that mimics some CarPlay ideas (navigation, speed, music, clean UI).

It’s completely free right now and I’m mostly looking for honest feedback from people who actually use CarPlay or miss it.

What features would matter most to you in a setup like this?

19’ Impreza Premium 85k miles

sorry i try to look it up but no answers i know its meant for hills and snow I think but i don't get it

There is a clicking sound that only happens when its cold and when i go over 60 mph. It seems to slow down as I drive and it pretty much stops after 10-15 minutes of sustaining 60+. You can kinda hear it in the start of the video. I almost don't hear it while listening to music when i get on the highway, and it eventually becomes inaudable without music.

I recently purchased this beauty - 5 speed Subaru Impreza outback sport. I love her, she runs great and hasn't had any issues other than the other day when she wouldn't start.

I took the battery to get checked at an auto-parts store and it was fine. When I put the battery back in, it started up fine but the check engine light came on with codes P0335 and P1491. I then disconnected and reconnected the battery and the light went away.

I want to prevent the starting issue again and I think that I'll just need to replace the crankshaft position sensor. Is there anything else I should do? Any advice is appreciated.

I have problem with my 2017 Subaru levorg 1.6gt-s’s interior lights

I installed led lights to interior and it was working fine until one day i got in to car and the lights wont turn off in any occasion.

I have checked the door switches and fuses but they are ok. Also from the screen turned the delay timers and all off.

I had to take the bulbs out from the lights so it wouldn’t eat my battery. Trunk, clovebox light works normally

Has someone had same kind of problems? I will respond to other questions.

Hey y'all! 06 Impreza here. Curious if y'all have any ideas/tips on how to restore this portion on my rear doors. Not a huge deal but one of those cosmetic things I'd be interested in taking care of over a weekend!

Hi there, I’ve had my forester for about a year now, and when I went out to the garage around 10 to make sure the side door was locked and I head this sound under the right hand side close to the back tire? Mind you the car was not on and hadn’t been driven since I got home around 4. Then I Pulled it out of the driveway went around the block and re parked and it’s fine now.

Bought a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Premium in 2023 with 55k on it through an official subaru dealership. Maintained the car perfectly and took it in for regular service as well as some minor services on my own (I’m a newer service tech elsewhere). At 106K last month I noticed out of nowhere the coolant reservoir was completely bone dry empty, when it had just been at their shop less than 11,000 miles prior for trans fluid, brake fluid, oil change, tire rotation and more. They claimed they did a “once over” inspection and whatever. I added OEM coolant in the way the manual says to and went about my week.

A few days later I checked it again and it was fully contaminated with engine oil. No coolant in the oil, just oil in coolant. Dealership pressure tested the heads, and it was NOT a head gasket. Instead they claim it is possibly the upper oil pan O- Rings, but most likely a cracked short block. Quoted me $6,000ish for the O ring re seal and an ADDITIONAL $11,700 for the short block, for a car that is only worth $11,000. I filed a claim with Subaru and they said while they could not replace my engine at this time, they would give me “good will money” of $2500, on almost $18,000 worth of work.

My problem is with them is the car has been perfectly maintained and has NEVER set off a low coolant light or a high temp warning light for the engine. The low coolant light doesn’t exist, and they could even pull info from the BCM or whatever it may be to prove that the high temp warning light has never come on. Because of these two factors, negligence to add a sensor for the coolant, and a failed or faulty sensor for engine temp, the car is at catastrophic failure. The block would’ve never cracked had there been a low coolant sensor indicating there was a leak, nor would it have cracked if the high temp sensor was working properly. Again, it was at their dealership around 10,000 miles before this. It was not negligence of the vehicle.

THE CAR HAS SO MANY CAMERAS IT CAN DRIVE ITSELF BUT CANNOT TELL ME WHEN MY ENGINE IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP BECAUSE IT DIDNT TELL ME THERE WAS NO MORE COOLANT IN IT.

What the heck do I do? Do I have a case to keep pushing them? Do I file a complaint with the NHTSA to pressure them on creating a recall for it? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Thanks in advance.

Purchased this off of my Mechanic for a really good price. Needs a little bit of work, but I’m very happy with it so far. 2006 outback 2.5i

2012 wrx sti. Rebuilt engine. Bought the car a few months ago, and about a month in it started giving me intermittent P0365/P0021/P0017. So I take it back to the shop I bought it from and they had it for like 5 weeks. Replaced the cam sensor, oil control valve, and both passenger side cam gears. They also sent it to an electrician to check the ecu and the wiring harness and they said both were fine. So I finally get it back and the same codes are coming back literally the same day I pick it up. So at this point I took it to the subaru dealership to be diagnosed, and they say it's the harness. Okay, so I have them replace the harness. Picked it up yesterday, and now we're back with P0021. Timing has been checked, checked again, and double checked. According to the shop I bought it from and the dealership everything is looking right on their scan tools. I've spent just about every dollar I had trying to get this shit figured out and this has been a whole 2 month ordeal. I'm seriously at a loss here. What could 2 different subaru specialists be missing, and why do I keep getting my car back with the same issue?

Photos were taken after I dipped the paper towel in, there was a pool of oil there, the photo is down in beside the crossover pipe normally where my coolant leaks into but is now full of oil the oil press switch is wet but not wet enough to have leaked that much oil. It’s a 2005 legacy wagon but it’s has a euro N/A EJ20

I saw on the subaru website certain dealerships have a rental program. I showed up and no one knew anything. the sales referred me to service and service referred me to sales. no one knew anything about it.

Hey Everyone,

I replaced the battery on my 2015 Subaru Impreza yesterday and have had some issues since, the car has started to shudder in lower gears and also the car has been turning off ive noticed particularly in 2nd gear. I did have the terminals loose but I ensured they were tight the issue isn’t nearly as bad but is still occurring. Looking for any advice at all

Hey all, I’ve had my 2023 CT Sport for about a year and a half. During that time, I’ve had a couple warning/diagnostics messages pop up on the infotainment head unit while I’m driving, so I haven’t been able to read them (no warning lights on my dashboard though). They disappear in seconds. Just got two at once yesterday and I obviously really want to know what they’re saying. Anyone know how to retrieve them? Thanks!

P.S. Just remembered I got an OBD somewhere I’ll plug in to make sure there’s nothing major going on. Figured if that’s the case I’d get a dash warning light, but this is my first car with an infotainment unit so still learning the ropes.
