The permanent all-wheel drive and boxer engine with its opposing cylinders are typical characteristics of the Japanese automobile manufacturer SUBARU. Since the 1970s, the all-wheel specialist is based on the well-thought-out driving concept that delivers balance and performance. Where expensive sport utility vehicles reach their limits, models of the Japanese brand prove their off-road capability. But besides the pioneering role in terms of all-wheel drive, the carmaker with the star symbol is also one of the brands with the highest customer satisfaction, especially regarding vehicles from older production years. The loss of image and the slightly higher prices of spare parts might be reasons why SUBARU is currently a niche choice on the UK car market.
Typical problem areas in SUBARU models
The compact car Impreza is a very reliable vehicle. It has been produced since 1992 and is one of the best-selling all-wheel drive passenger vehicles. It has just a few standard weaknesses such as fast-wearing brake components, corrosion at the transverse links or the front axle, as well as problems with the exhaust system and electrics. The off-road estate car Forester has almost no typical flaws besides the clutch and can has an excellent reputation on the used vehicle market. The midsize Legacy, which has been manufactured since 1989 has a similarly low defect rate. Its only problem areas are the cylinder head gaskets as well as the automatic transmission in vehicles with 2.5 litre engines.
SUBARU – vehicles that are almost indestructible
Sayings like “a SUBARU will drive everywhere, except into a repair shop” are also true for the small car Justy, which was produced until 2011. Before buying a used vehicle, you should check the exhaust mounting, the brake discs and pads as well as the ball joints. The luxury SUV Tribeca, manufactured from 2005 to 2014, is almost indestructible and ranked high in reliability indexes.
