Subaru parts reviews

I had 2 of the exact same vehicle (Subaru Outback). One had Michelin X-Ice dedicated winter tires and the other had Michelin Cross Climate All Weather tires. Last year, after a fresh snowfall, I took both cars out, drove down the street and took quick turns, braking, starts from stop etc. I then went to an open parking lot and did the same. I didn't notice much difference at all in those types of conditions.

I live in Canmore and drive a Subaru forester wilderness with the Yokohama G015 (3Peak) and I have never gotten stuck, slid out of control, or had any concern.

I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.

The oem filters are kind of pricey here so I use bosch or fram ultra synthetic

Been driving STIs reliably for 20 years, and I never use oem.\n\nI use Mobil (M1-110, the longer one), or Wix.

I go Mobil one with my Mobil one oil. I run the euro blend in my 2010 WRX because it's high miles turbo so it's 0w-40. Car seems to love it.

Yes. The glass is weak - our last forester was a disaster until it finally cracked but I swear we would get chips driving down the road constantly

Owned my 2025 Outback for 6 months. 9K miles. 3 chips already repaired by safelite

Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.

I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.
