AndreaH Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello everybody, The Volvo V40 that we bought second hand 10 years ago finally died and we are looking for something equally reliable and long lasting to replace it with. A friend suggested a Subaru and we are going to test drive a 2013 XV 2l petrol automatic next week. Is there anything we should look for / be aware of? My husband is worried that because Subarus are uncommon parts, servicing etc. will be expensive. Is he right? Would be really grateful for any advice ... am a complete Newbie and NOT knowledgable about cars! With many thanks, Andrea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 First off RIP volvo :( Service issues are a myth, parts arn't hard to come by and cost wise depends if you go to a dealer or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 As tidgy says, as long as you don't go the main dealer route for your parts they are around the same as most other manufacturers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
