256-horsepower 3.6L H6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 3400 mi | Front passenger-side grab handle (often referred to as the "oh shit" handle) mounting point had become very loose. Dealer said they replaced it. Still seems loose to me. Steering Wheel center-cap rattles to the point that it becomes very annoying. Dealer claims "they all do that" and said they would stuff it full of 'stuff' to quiet it down. There's been no improvement in the the rattle. |
| 3000 mi | Drivers seat has developed a terrible squeak. Dealer replaced seat bottom. |
| 6000 mi US $49 |
Car was delivered with a gap between passengers side headlight and hood. Known issue by Subaru... |
