Thoughts on scoobies?
« on: 29 February 2016, 21:20:40 »
Been to test drive a 2009 Subaru Legacy TD today and Iwas very impressed.  Pulled like a train and did not seem like deisel at all.  Liking the room in the boot for my fishing trips as well as the drive quality/comfort.

Any thoughts from the membership?

They've taken a leaf out of Mitsubishi's business plan and manage to make a fairly expensive car feel really cheap. Parts prices are similarly horrendous.

Had a Subaru Forrester a 1999 model bought it in 2003 a 1 owner with full history,  was totally reliable  & servicing was very reasonable at the dealership, terrific engine had 41,000 miles when purchased , we sold it in 2012 with over 110,000 miles  on the clock same clutch etc only part we had replaced was one of the self levelling rear struts was around £300, would not hesitate in having any model from the Subaru range, never ever let us down.

Just checked the DVLA website & the old Forester is still taxed & tested with 159,716 miles at the last MOT so pretty good I'd say..before I bought the Panda for SWMBO I had my eye on an Impreza for her but she preferred the Fiat ,damn shame.

As an aside do GM still have a stake in Subaru? I know they did have some years ago.
