Oxygen sensor (s) replaced 3 times, once under recall, twice when engine idled rough and subsequently (weeks later) "check engine" light came on. Dealer could not identify problem until this light came on.
Brake rotors needing replacement every 30,000 miles.
Transmission had to be replaced at 50,000 miles for slipping.
High maintenance/high cost-of-maintenance car.
Great in snow.
Handles well, but slow acceleration.
Very poor, "mushy", brakes that require strong effort.
Dealer (s) generally not helpful in getting chronic maintenance problems resolved.
Front rotors had to be replaced at 49,000 miles. Now at 90,000, the Subaru dealer's repair technician tells me that the front rotors need to be replaced again. I am not a happy Subaru owner.
I had a Chevy Cavalier that needed rotors every 12,500 miles, so don't feel bad!
