My 2001 Forester was probably the best and most reliable car I have ever owned, the only knock on it being the lousy gas mileage. That was back when Subaru marketed itself as a value brand. It was well known back then that if you did not put the coolant conditioner in, the engines would develop a gasket problem.

Then they decided to move upmarket and became more popular. The plastics in the interior on the newer Subies looks cheap and the styling gets uglier with each new generation. The prices have climbed from value territory into BMW/Audi/Mercedes range, which is a joke.

Not sure where they source the CVTs, but they need to move on or at least offer a proper transmission
