The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.
I now dread doing spark plugs. Something that’s super easy to do on most 4 cyl cars is a PITA doing on my ej25.
My 2015 outback has 140k miles. I just did spark plugs and belt, brakes. That's the only maintenance I've ever done other than tires and batteries.
Subaru forester. Mine is a 15. Comfortable, decent gas mileage, able to seat 4 with stuff in back. Kayaks fit on roof. AWD helps in rain and snow. Easy to do basic maintenance, but spark plugs SUCK.
RIP doing spark plugs at home and not hating life.
Good luck doing spark plugs
Changing my sparkplugs for the first time (32k miles, yes it's early but I got a great deal on the plugs) and found that the stock plug in cylinder 4 actually had a ground electrode defect and was significantly thicker than normal. The car runs stronger than it ever has as this was likely causing extra timing pull.
im at 95k with the original plugs. no issues
I waited till like 100k to do my spark plugs on my 2013 Crosstrek, they were still good just not as efficient
Just traded in my 2015 Forester with 219,000 miles and the original spark plugs.
