Are Subarus the best cars money can buy? - Fortune Management

Interesting writeup by Fortune on Subaru. The answer is yes, obviously, but I'm biased.:fullofwin:

I always wanted the Subaru Baja... hmm...

^ the baja is terrible... like... useless, the bed it tiny, the interior is tiny.. the engine is tiny, its just a poor vehicle all around.

i worked at surbaru for a few years and the outback has grown on me the most.

Subaru re sale value is amazing, reliability is great IF you maintain the vehicle and most are very upgradable thanks to the aftermarket availablity for most Subaru's, and alot of models share parts amongst themselves making swaps and whatnot more simple.

on the down side tho, maintenance can be pricey ei. blow a tire and you needa buy all 4 new ones because uneven tread wear can cause pre mature differential wear, and fuel economy isnt the best in its class

Probably the cheapest awd car you can buy eh. Also the reliability is a plus:)

Bingo!

It is indeed one of the most favoured cheapest AWD car, but keep in mind, AWD = more fuel = money pit.

But handling is awesome in the rain or dry. Slap on on some winter tires in the snow, and you'll be drifting like Takumi :fullofwin:

And yes, it does have the famous horizontal opposed 'boxer' engine, but one issue that always arises with the engines particular to the naturally aspirated, are leaky head gaskets. :okay:

So .... who wants to buy my car? :lol (don't worry, no leaky gaskets here ;)

THIS IS HOW YOU SELL A SUBARU :fullofwin:

I had a bugeye wrx. Good car but not practical. Not roomy and the thing was a pig on gas. Aftermarket parts are way too uber rare and overpriced

turbo engine will have poor fuel consumption
it is basically a V6 or a V8 in 4 cylinder form :)

i dont care if you think its useless, i think its cool as fuck :fullofwin:

2014 FORESTERRRRRRRRRR :fuckyea:

Subaru fills a special niche kinda like saab. Saved me once when I jumped a curb at 50km/h while drifting between 2 trees. The car just drove like nothing happened :lawl:

Dat AWD is solid, went through a foot of snow and ice with shitty all seasons :alonehappy:

but you drive an x3 now :suspicious:



:troll:

^ I'm waiting for my FOREEESSTTEERRRRR to arrive :alone:

Turbo BMW with Xdrive should work as good as STi !

LOL @ BMW awd system, it works on the road and that about it, Subaru's symmetrical system is a nice setup, whats the point of AWD if hp/torque isnt spread evenly

simple video showing the difference, top gear covered a BMW with Xdrive and it was much the same, uneven power distribution fails pretty bad in snow/mud situations

Soon to be the cheapest AWD once Suzuki North America is completely gone.

I always liked Subarus, but starting from the base model they seem to charge a lot for every little additional feature and accessory.

Always wanted to drive an STI, though.

Also, I bet my SX4 with awd lock could climb that hill in the video above. :D

I think my 4runner would have made it up that hill as well :concentrate:

^ 4wd lock is different then awd, in that case i would really hope it does haha

this is true. i also have a rear locker to help out :fullofwin:

i rewatched the video and would argue that the rav4 should have made it up the hill.

unlike the other vehicles the rav4 has the ability to lock the center differential manually which should distribute the power 50-50 limiting slippage and arguably getting it up that hill.

LOLWTF xDrive is good for road only or a few inches of snow... 40/60 distribution = disaster in mud


CVT forester is not actually 50/50 but 45/55

speaking from experience? :troll:
