Subaru parts reviews

I did my timing belt on my 07 wrx tr @90k miles n i used all oem parts. Imo oem is probably best

I don't understand why you didn't just get the NGK iridium plugs.

The plugs are great-- zero issues, can't tell a difference.

I went with 245/45R18 Vredestein Wintrac Pro -- been very happy with two winters so far!

when I got my '06 sti 3 years ago I replaced the original belt with roughly the same mileage on it and it looked to be in fine condition despite being 13 years old.

The OEM brembo pads and rotors on my Subaru would leave a lot of buildup for sure. A couple good hard brakes and it was clear.

Aisin is definitely a go to.

I had an 2017 Outback 2.5, had it since April of 2017 until last week, during that time I put on 93k km on it. I wish I had gotten the 3.6, I got the 2.5 hoping to save fuel, my average was around 25mpg for lifetime, and I drive a lot on hwy and country road, I never once was able to hit the 30mpg even if it's just me in the car and driving 50mph on the country road, this part I really feel like Subaru should correct their mpg reading, in winter it can get as bad as 18mpg in the freezing weather, as when it's cold the transmission will make the engine constantly rev at higher to warm it up, the 2.5 is also not a smooth engine when at idle, I had a vibration issue that was deemed normal. Overall, it's a reliable car, but its not a durable car, another thing is, when taking off quickly from a stop, it can really bog down, most people are used to first gear and just boot, but these CVT don't have first gear and it can be rather unexpected, I've almost got hit from behind a couple times from that. The eyesight is a good feature, the lane departure can be annoying at times but I was ok with it, these cars have an issue with windshield chipping, and if the car has eyesight, the windshield need to be a specific one and then the eyesight needs to be re-calibrated, this happened to me TWICE, and it got expensive very quick. OEM tires are lousy, by lousy I mean it doesn't even get good mpg, doesn't get good grip in ANY condition and puncture easily if you take it to any sort of gravel road, I had puncture the tire within 1200km, I just got some decent A/T tires after, no problem for the last 90k. The brakes are soft, so first thing I did was changed the pads.

Head gasket, typical Subaru issue.

I had a mishimoto rad cap that completely screwed up my coolant system.
