Today I will go over the common issues found in Subaru models from the last 20 years along with if/how they were fixed. I'm going to discuss problems found with the Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Impreza, Ascent, BRZ, Legacy and WRX. I will also touch on what makes Subaru stand apart from Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and more!

Thank you, Royal on the Eastside service department for answering my questions!
