Bought this in 2008 when it had 106,000 miles. Have driven it almost 100,000 miles. Amount one month ago, it was sitting at the curb idling and I was at someone's door talking with them. Engine made odd noise and stopped. I went out to it and tried to start it. Wouldn't start. Made noise like when battery not strong enough to turn it over. I knew this was not the case. Had it towed to a Chrysler / Nissan dealer's garage. They investigated and found that an idler pulley on the timing belt had froze. That put much strain on the cam shaft pulley and it broke and the timing belt broke too. We decided to replace those parts and see if it would run. When those new parts were installed it started right up. At that point we also put in a new water pump. Have driven it several hundred miles since then and it has given no trouble at all. When timing belt broke, mileage was 201,187 and now mileage is 201,429. But in the meantime, we bought a new car. So, we are selling this one. We have enjoyed this car a bunch and hate to part w it. But, new car has much fewer miles. I have changed oil regularly and used Wix filters. I usually use 20W50 oil in all my cars. On the interstate I drive about 60 mph. Radio and A/C work. Ever since I have had it, it seems to shift w a little thump when going into a higher gear. Has gotten very slightly worse over the yrs. Have never thought till recently that I might just need to change the transmission fluid or clean out the filter there. There is a trailer hitch on it, but all we have ever hauled is to put a bike rack on it and haul our bicycles. New alternator about 2 yrs ago. New radiator about 1 yr ago. New left front axle about 2 yrs ago. We have never had any wreck at all w it. As far as we can tell by looking underneath, no one else has. When I had this car to Lou Fusz Subaru in St Louis, he had it on his cptr system and noted that it had a new engine put in it at 60,000. Lou Fuzs said that the factory engine began to knock a little at the end of the factory warranty and they honored it and put in a new engine.

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid [w/video]
Mon, 11 Nov 2013The butler announcing arriving guests to the hybrid party has just called Subaru's name, at long last. The XV Crosstrek wasn't even supposed to come to the US, but the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid endows it with a suit tailored for our regulatory dress code, adding all that weighty battery goodness to the Impreza-turned-compact-crossover.
Subaru didn't want to say why it sent the XV Crosstrek to the hybrid party first, but the original car itself was an opportunistic play for the European market that has worked out surprisingly well over there and over here. In areas represented by the American flag it's doing about 4,000 sales per month and on pace to hit 50,000 units for all of 2013; that's just another happy chapter in Subaru's generally awesome year that sees it outpacing Volkswagen through the end of October, 347,890 units to 342,962.
The XV Crosstrek Hybrid is the opportunistic play for the 25 percent of Subaru buyers that will be looking for a hybrid as their next vehicle, so sayeth Subaru, and for those outside the fold who are determined to include the word "hybrid" in their purchase but also want some extra ride height, space and all-wheel drive.
New Subaru Legacy may be getting smaller six-cylinder and sport models
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Subaru gave the next-generation, 2015 Legacy a brand new, more sophisticated platform and improved interior at the Chicago Auto Show, but the engines were carried over barely changed from the previous gen. However, if a rumor from Car and Driver turns out to be true, then the power trains may be getting upgraded as well.
A source within Subaru indicates that the aging 3.6-liter flat-six might finally be getting a replacement in favor of a smaller, more powerful six-cylinder engine, and the four-cylinder may get direct injection. Both of them would be ready for the new Legacy's mid-cycle refresh in about three years, and they would likely be shared by new Outback too.
The turbocharged, GT trim has been absent from the US-market Legacy for the last few model years, but the insider hinted that it might make a return in the coming years. The new version would use the 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four found in the Forester and the WRX. Though like the Forester, a turbocharged Legacy would likely only be available with the CVT.
Subaru Impreza shows off 360-degree passing technique
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Leave it to a Subaru WRX to find a new way to improve the art of passing. This dash cam vid shows a white WRX pirouetting past our recording car and somehow straightening out before either sliding off the road or slamming into the car ahead. If this were a standard move in rally racing, the WRC would be bigger than NASCAR.
Like most dash cam vids, we don't know where it was shot (Russia's always a good bet) or what the circumstances were (did the driver spin on purpose or was the 360-degree slide accidental?), but the remarkable feat was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube, preserving it for an Internet eternity. Scroll below to watch the twist yourself, and don't try this at home!
