Chas70 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Good afternoon all. Looking at buying my first Subaru and thought where would be the best place to get advice on what to look out for. An owners club forum of course! It's a Forester 2ltr D, XSN. On a 09 plate, 96000 miles. I'd appreciate any help /advice offered. Thanks, Chas.

Greenmamba Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 That era Subaru diesels are prone to failure so I'd be very wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Best advice is avoid diesel . up to 2013 was the worst for boxer diesel but any modern era diesel is potential high maintenance so only buy diesels when it actually truly needed benefit . Don't overlook older vehicles, most of the best made high reliability is late 90's to 2005 era. 80% of my workload is new garbage electrical and emission systems and none of it cheap and many times owners already blown serious money and still got same faults and they at wits end with almost empty bank accounts lol .
