Subaru Forester parts reviews

I had a 2017 Forester with 175k miles on it and only used factor oil and never had any issues. I did not do any off road stuff and it was only a premium model, not a wilderness model. I don’t think it matters as long as you change it regularly.

I live in Alabama, recently bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion All-Season Plus 3 tires. I love them, they are quiet, ride and handle really well, and are very good in the rain. They are above average in the snow, so if you don’t get a lot of snow I would highly recommend them. They are cheaper then some the competition but a very good tire.

I got nearly 70K miles out of my CC2's. That's pretty economical. I did go with Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2's this time just because I stacked incentives (USAA = 25% off, Goodyear credit card offered $200 rebate). They were really good in this recent NY storm.

Falken PRO G5 CSV on my xt and wife's sonata. Pleased so far

I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.

Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.

The CV joint is probably the cause. I replaced both pairs in my 2012 Forester, and after four years, the left side started clicking again.

It started overheating while I was on I-95, and I managed to limp it to an off-ramp. It needed a new radiator, and that was the last straw for me.

285,000 miles doesn’t feel great on stock struts but they’re gone now

I drove 200km to go camping, oil was ok when I left, drove 200km back and made it home fine. Then 2 days later when I tried to drive it again for the first time my radiator was pouring steam after 5km and it turns out she had leaked all the oil on the drive over the weekend which made it overhead and blew the radiator. The hot radiator expanded and cracked the plastic tank where they joined, once the engine cooled overnight that crack showed up and leaked ALL the coolant out and I had no idea. Had to replace the radiator but she's ok again now.
