I bought one of the first year’s Subaru. Absolute junk car. Everything was wrong with it. My - then = ex thought it was cute. I learned never to buy cute. She gave it up when at 9 months pregnant in a snow storm at a major intersection the entire transmission fell out of the car. Dealer refused to make good on it. Wound up in court. PIECE OF JUNK!

I'm on my 3rd Subaru. They've been very good, I've put a lot of miles on them.
I don't doubt you experience though, If I've learned nothing else in the past six decades, it's never buy the first model on anything!

one of the first years Subaru. Subaru 360 with suicide doors? Or the Star? It and the Renault Dauphine were legendary pieces of junk imported in the 50s and 60s.

You bought a 1953, '54 or '55 Subaru?
Not a smart move to begin with.

You bought the Subaru 360 with the 25 HP Two Stroke Engine?
The Yamaha Dealer I used to go to sold those back in the mid 70’s. They even had a Van version.
The Subaru 360 took over 50 seconds to hit 50 MPH.
They should have called it the Subaru 5050.

I have a Forester that's a few years old and I really liked it, especially the fact that with good snow tires, it would go through absolutely ANYTHING in our Central NY winters.
Except for one thing. That vehicle has a voracious appetite for brakes. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. we had to put new brakes on it.
I fed it its last set of brakes this past spring. Bought a new car and am selling this.
