The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.

Pros: no other maintenance issues, capable offroad

Cons: expensive windshield, costly spark plug replacement

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Mileage: 98000 km

Personally I’m running EQT’s stage 1+ tune and I just went with the recommended plugs (NGK 4905s) for peace of mind. I think it’s worth the extra couple bucks for my sanity

Pros: peace of mind

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: 4905S

I stopped buying plugs from eBay and Amazon years ago after getting what I can only assume was a bunk set for my BMW. They looked the part, but caused the engine to run rough.

Pros: looked the part

Cons: engine run rough

Vehicle: BMW
