Do you own a Subaru?

We have owned 4 of them over the years and I would absolutely recommend Subaru. I have had 2 Outbacks and my DH has had a WRX and an STI WRX. His first WRX, he was in a horrible accident and we truly believe if it hadn't been for his car that he would have been dead. We don't keep cars very long but I'm thinking about getting a Legacy and we are buying our DD a BRZ. The thing we like is the AWD and the safety features are top notch. Good luck and have fun!

I'm on my second. I had a Forester for 8 years and then decided to get an Outback. Really, really reliable cars. Especially great if you live where it snows. As long as I live in Minnesota, I'll own a Subaru.

I recently drove a service loaner when my brakes were being serviced - a brand new Outback - and that rear view camera and the other whistles were cool!

I don't see any cons to owning a Subaru.

We have a 2010 Outback and let me tell you: that thing is a tank! So far we've had 2 kids drive it and now #3 is in the wings. I feel very safe and secure in it. Only problem is it's a gas guzzler and it seems like we're always replacing headlights.

We bought a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek last November, our first Subaru. I absolutely love it! Drives great, has great reliability ratings, and is so cute! Drives great in snow and rain. 

I have a 2017 Outback and it's my first Subaru. LOVE it!!! Hopefully not my last, but we shall see.

We owned a forrester for 10 years. I drive it as our family vehicle for 4 years and then it for too small for our family of 4. It seemed like a tight fit with car seats and stroller and carpooling etc. Dh drove it for another 6 years until he decided he wanted something sporty. It drove well and needed minimal maintenance. It wasn’t as luxurious feeling as other cars we’ve owned.

If so, what model? >>> Baja
How long?>>>it's a 2003 bought with 3K miles on it.  Now about 210K

Pros and Cons? Like a 4 door pickup truck.  Only con is every once in a while I'd like a regular trunk- like at Christmas, to hide gifts. lol 

and the kids don't want me to ever get rid of it.  They still sometimes make me stop a end of the driveway, let them jump in back and ride in that way, as they have since they were half their height.  I remember when they were little going so very slow, making sure they were holding on to roll bars and being all too careful.  I tease them now that I try to reach 55 (very possible on long driveway) and lose them. 

Would you buy again?>>> can't unless they start making them again.

I've had Subarus in the past and will get one again.  If you are in a snowy region, you can't beat them.

You can google videos of how/why Subaru AWD is different/better.  In layman's terms, to me it just seems more stable than others.  Maybe because not so tall like many vehicles, giving it a low center of gravity. (?)
 
or below is from auto trader:


Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive has always been synonymous with Subaru. Unlike many setups that are adapted from 2-wheel drive, Subaru's symmetrical system starts out and remains in this format, intended to provide power continuously to each wheel in all conditions. True to its name, symmetrical AWD is exactly that: symmetrical. This unique hardware balance gives Subaru vehicles greater on- and off-road stability due to the setup's even weight distribution. The main advantages of this system are balance, control and traction, making it a favorite in cold-weather climates.


So, yes.  I feel the Subaru love and would/will buy again.

I live in Wisconsin.  There are Subaru around everywhere but it's funny the further north you go the more saturated they seem to become.

We've owned two Subaru's. The first was a 1999 Impreza Sport. We sold it to my Mom in 2004 and it's still going strong with no major issues. In 2004 we bought a WRX. LOVED this little car. It's the model that Subaru does the RallyX races with, (hence the name WRX). The only reason we sold it, to my nephew this time, was that being stuck in traffic was no fun (it's a manual transmission) and DH wanted a car with all the latest safety bells and whistles.

When I was car shopping the CrossTrek was on my short list but I'm not really a car girl so I ended up with a 4Runner.

If I was going to stick to a small car I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Subaru.

Oh, and we have a friend who has the original model of Outback and he's pushing 300,000 miles on it!

My ODS just bought a 2019 Outback about a month and a half ago. He loves it! He drove it to FL from AR the first weekend he had it. Said the driving, the gas mileage, all the safety features were wonderful.

While we were on the lot looking, I started looking at the Crosstreks and Foresters. I have a 2010 Ford Edge that we actually got in Aug 2009. I do LOVE my Edge but for the features I am looking for, the next one will be out of my price range for a car. I have my eye on a 2019 Forester Sport. Goodness, so bad I can taste it. We drive cars until they die and I feel like with a Subaru, I might be driving it forever! I want all the goodies since I will be driving it for so long.

Yeah, they were adding a more features for the 2019 but we couldn't wait for them to come out, we were without a car bc dd took mine to college.  The push button start was only being offered on the top of the line outback, even for 2019.  The forrester was the only one that had android auto but I didn't want a forrester.

We have a 2016 Outback. I like it. It is loaded, minus eye sight.

The windshield needed to be replaced. Had it been a vehicle with eye sight, it would have cost $3700. When buying the car, DH and I were not in agreement on the eye sight feature.

Anyway, it’s comfortable. I do like the features. The heated seats are the bomb! The sound system sucks! Seriously bad.

It doesn’t feel like mine, yet. But, that is because I am still driving my Escape. It’s time is limited. And, I love that car. Love, love it! I like driving alone with music and the sound is awesome. So, totally spoiled. And, she is my baby. Hard shoes to fill.

When the Escape needs to be replaced, the Crosstrek is on the short list.

BTW, we have the push button start and we didn't buy the top of the line. We bought the step up from the base model - middle I guess.

Also has android and apple play and now that Waze is included, it's a win win.

We have a 98 Subaru Forester that we have owned for 21 years. It has been a awesome car. We will be replacing it probably next year, not because it has worn out, but that our needs have changed and we need our occasional car to be a truck. I really like the look of the crosstrek. When my oldest was shopping for a car he looked at those, but they were so new there weren't any used ones in his price range.

ETA: We've driven back and forth across the US and all over Europe in that car.  It held up beautifully.

I’m on my second. We still have my 2009 Forester. It’s our third car now. I have an insane love for that car. With that said, my 2018 Outback is quite an upgrade. I just love it. I am definitely a Subaru fan and really didn’t consider anything else when I was in the market for a new car this past spring.
