Had a 1994 Subaru L-Series Wagon (Loyale/Leone) in Western Australia from 2006-2017 (sold when I moved overseas). Manual transmission with 4WD and over 330,000km on the odometer when I bought it. Only ever broke down once, when the alternator died. I was able to replace it myself in about 20 minutes, with no automotive experience, using an aftermarket replacement I got for $100 off Craigslist. Started again immediately and continued to run great. Leaked oil like a colander but never overheated or even ran hot (even when it was briefly leaking coolant into the passenger seat footwell). Brilliant and practical car with a tonne of cool little features.

I always like your videos Scotty, every one of them. This time I neither like or dislike it. I am not voting one way or the other. My family is a Subaru family and we have had nothing but luck with them. Ten years ago I would have been taking a dirt nap if it wasn’t for my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. And my 2009 GT would literally crawl through anything. And I never had head gasket issues however I do know that problem does happen to many of them. Never had a Subaru automatic transmission die on my either and neither did anyone else in my family. And my 2.5 2009 GT gets 33.7 MPG, can’t complain about that either.

@@Flying_GC Quite a few, My first car was an old caprice cop car from the 60's. Then i had a ford f-150. Had an old AMC gremlin which i loved till a friend wrecked it for me. Then an AMC-renault (which was actually a pretty good car, but teaching the GF to drive stick in it was a bad idea) Drove a chevy cavalier for a few years in the 90's. Then i went to toyotas, had a old carolla, then a new camry, Went thru a classic vw phase for awhile & had a few beetles & a westy camper for awhile. At one point i had a old 60s lincoln continental (yes it had the suicide doors). Traded that for a mid-60s chevy truck + a honda motorcycle. At some point i had a BMW 7-series that was very nice, but cost on average $1000 per month in maintenance (might be a slight exaggeration). Inherited a jeep cherokee & drove that for a couple years, Also had a geo metro for a few years back when they were still common, after a deer killed that i drove a nissan pickup for a LONG time, then traded up to a nissan sentra, which was also a really reliable car. Then i bought my first Subaru, and i doubt i will ever buy anything else ever again. Its reliable, cheap to maintain, doesnt get stuck in snow/mud goes anywhere, is luxurious inside, can haul a huge amount of crap, nice looking. Subaru has it all.

I don't think Subaru's blow head gaskets more than any other car. It's the fact that they need the engine pulled to fix them that's the problem. So when they do blow. it costs a small fortune to fix

My 98 4runner has two dead cylinders at 265,000 miles. But my 05 Forester is at 200,000 and still running strong. The 4runner needed new rear hub seals, all 4 shocks, all 6 fuel injectors, new tie rod ends, and dropped a ball joint before that mileage. The Forester has needed new cats on it, and new spark plug tube o-rings. I also replaced the valve cover gaskets at the same time. So far the Subaru has seen less work. But I'll have to see if anything else is needed by 265,000.

Hi Scotty & thanks for the amazing vids. I've been working to eliminate my front steering brake shakes for over a year now. Just renewed the discs & pads and the calipers are definitely sliding smoothly. Front bottom arm bushes front&reat done; front hubs renewed (were droning); this is the 3rd set of discs that have been replaced. The OEM ones I removed seemed fine on my vernier calipers and there wasn't any bulging. The shakes were violent though and for the moment have gone but feel as though they'll be back again... Anything else you'd suggest I swao out?... the calipers were fully rebuilt by the way... Thanks again
