i always dream of driving a subaru. for my kinda lifestyle and the income i earn, i can afford to buy a subaru version 2 second hand. but i always have the fear of

difficult to finding spare parts
price for spare parts is expensive
petrol consumtion is high
resale value

with all this kinda fears, am i better off sticking to my current toyota corolla AE100 (4age) instead?. i hope someone here can let me know how is it like to own and maintain a subaru. i hope i can get a honest answer instead from the sales guy who is trying to sell his subaru off (everything also ok... spare parts easy, cheap low consumtion).


:frown:

Bro... simple, good thinngs no cheap,cheap things no good... but owning 1 n driving it..... satisfaction

Then one day the car engine noisy,find many mechanic can't solve problem, change engine oil also the same thing.. End up fix in Singapore and found the piston crack i think,cost 20k(suppose to be Malaysian ringgit)..i forget many details dy..

The subaru is a really solid made car. Service it on time and with good lubricants, your car will serve you well. Look at the amount of gc8's running and you will know. The only downside is the FC cause of the heavy turbo car running full-time AWD. But this is to be expected.

The archilles heel of the scoobie is the conrod bearings. But as long you dont touch the internals and service it on time. It wont be of any problem.
