I really do not believe those
I really do not believe those predicted reliability or initial quality ratings. My year's Forester also scored highly by CR and initial quality rating from J D Power was average. It's obviously corrupt. As a note during my latest repair episode, I had a new 2019 Forester as a loaner vehicle. At a little more than 3,000 miles on the odometer persistent rattles started from the driver's side. It got so annoying on a longer trip I kept the windows open. Poor cabin assembly quality. And this is the new and improved version! The CVTs they now use are also riddled with problems.
I've always wondered how Subaru markets itself as this green car company while lagging years behind all the other car makers in terms of electric and hybrid offerings. Then it dawned on me. The cars are such pieces of crap they spend all their time broken and in the shop not polluting at all-- as green as it gets! No electrification needed.
