Bought this in 2008 when it had 106,000 miles. Have driven it almost 100,000 miles. Amount one month ago, it was sitting at the curb idling and I was at someone's door talking with them. Engine made odd noise and stopped. I went out to it and tried to start it. Wouldn't start. Made noise like when battery not strong enough to turn it over. I knew this was not the case. Had it towed to a Chrysler / Nissan dealer's garage. They investigated and found that an idler pulley on the timing belt had froze. That put much strain on the cam shaft pulley and it broke and the timing belt broke too. We decided to replace those parts and see if it would run. When those new parts were installed it started right up. At that point we also put in a new water pump. Have driven it several hundred miles since then and it has given no trouble at all. When timing belt broke, mileage was 201,187 and now mileage is 201,429. But in the meantime, we bought a new car. So, we are selling this one. We have enjoyed this car a bunch and hate to part w it. But, new car has much fewer miles. I have changed oil regularly and used Wix filters. I usually use 20W50 oil in all my cars. On the interstate I drive about 60 mph. Radio and A/C work. Ever since I have had it, it seems to shift w a little thump when going into a higher gear. Has gotten very slightly worse over the yrs. Have never thought till recently that I might just need to change the transmission fluid or clean out the filter there. There is a trailer hitch on it, but all we have ever hauled is to put a bike rack on it and haul our bicycles. New alternator about 2 yrs ago. New radiator about 1 yr ago. New left front axle about 2 yrs ago. We have never had any wreck at all w it. As far as we can tell by looking underneath, no one else has. When I had this car to Lou Fusz Subaru in St Louis, he had it on his cptr system and noted that it had a new engine put in it at 60,000. Lou Fuzs said that the factory engine began to knock a little at the end of the factory warranty and they honored it and put in a new engine.

Subaru recalls 48.5k Legacy, Outback models for steering defect
Fri, May 13 2016The Basics: Subaru is recalling 48,500 Legacy sedans and Outback CUVs from model years 2016 and 2017. The Problem: According to the NHTSA bulletin, the steering column in affected vehicles may not have been machined properly. This could cause the angle of the steering wheel to have no impact on the direction of travel – the wheel will turn and the car won't. Injuries/Deaths: Neither Subaru nor NHTSA have indicated whether there were any injuries or deaths associated with this recall. The fix: Subaru will inspect steering columns on the affected vehicles and replace them as necessary. Naturally, repairs will be done free of charge. If you own one: Subaru and NHTSA advise that owners do not drive their vehicles until they've been inspected. While Subaru is sending letters to owners, dealers will also reach out directly to schedule an on-sight inspection or arrange to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. More information: If repairs are necessary, Subaru will cover all costs associated with towing and provide affected consumers a free loaner.

Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]
Sat, 31 May 2014Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.
