Subaru parts reviews

Bridgestone A005 is exceptional in non-snowy conditions and definitely weaker in snow (but still miles ahead of any summer tyre). It is just tuned more towards mild climate and will get you home safely when you come across snow.

Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.

…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.

I prefer wix brand for cabin filters, Good quality at a reasonable price.

I am overly happy with the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 we got for our Forester.

Its a completely different car, especially when we upsized to 225/60-18.

For my Subaru I use the Subaru Super Coolant.

Bosch Icon are the only one's I use now. They always cost a bit more than I want, but they're silent, smooth, and last several years.

Look at raybestos R300 rotors. I use them on my wrx. They’re slotted with squiggles so they look cool, while not being drilled so they won’t crack. They also are apparently have higher carbon content so they Lee supposed to be able to handle heat better. They’re reasonably priced available on rock out and stuff. Then I use hawk HPs. A Good set of Pads will make a much bigger impact for you

Aftermarket LED’s will be considerably cheaper than OEM. Plus those OEM fog lights look to be halogen bulbs which you won’t even notice on the road when turned on. I got Morimoto LED fogs for my STI and they were about $200 CAD if I remember correctly.

I've had my windshield crack on all three of my subarus. Last time I went in last year with my 2020, the guy at safelite told me they are prone to breakage because of the angle they're at. They said they get subs and jeeps the most because of this

As for weak glass on Subarus? Probably not exactly what you think. IIRC, Subaru has started designing their frames to include the windshield as a structural component. This allows them to have smaller A-Pilars, which have grown to be massive these days. The downside of this is that a rock strike that you would normally brush can grow as the new weak point is challenged by the frame. What causes our windshield replacement was a hit that caused a quarter-sized crack, at the start of a 10 hour road trip. I watched that crack grow to 18 inches over that trip. While thermal expansion and frost could do that on older cars, I’ve never seen a crack grow quite like that.
