ProDave Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Just joined the forum today. I have been driving a variety of subaru's for 30 years now, I joined to seek some information as I am wanting yet another Subaru and one I am considering is diesel and I know nothing about that. If I do buy a newer one my present 2005 Forrester may be up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Hals Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I purchased a new 2.0 diesel Forester in 2010. Got rid of it after a year. Have always had a Forester since 1990, including turbo- Porsche like performance- have studied road test reports on all Forester models and decided that the - used - Forester XLN that I purchased some 6 years ago (_2004 model ) is the best I have owned. So, do not buy a diesel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 Apart from the reported tendency of some versions to break a crankshaft, what is actually "wrong" with a Subaru diesel? Was it reliability or performance that made you change after a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
