I had to replace the front axle(s) and CV boots.
Otherwise, just regular maintenance including oil change, tune up and brake pad replacement.
I bought the vehicle for $1900.00 U.S. dollars, unsure of the future. Within the last year, I have put 25,000 miles on it and have driven a 1,600 mile round trip and it ran great!
The interior is very ergonomic and comfortable for the basic model.
I also am impressed with the standard features that are equipped on the base model: power windows, locks, tachometer, and speakers.
When the time comes to buy another vehicle, especially a new one, going to the local Subaru dealership is top on my list!
I intend to keep it until I reach 200,000 miles on the car. Others I have talked too who have owned or own a Subaru have all spoken of it's high reliability mark and that these vehicles are known to reach 300,000 to 400,000 mileage marks. Incredible!
Wow! Getting one to 400,000 miles is amazing!! Mine only lasted to 100,000 miles because the engine crapped out and was only running on three cylinders. Cost more than the car was worth to get it fixed, so I got it scrapped. Great wee car to drive, Subarus, and cheap!! Despite my last experience I would still buy another one.
