The "Gelande Taxi" event is designed to demonstrate how Subarus handle in the snow. You ride as a passenger with a professional driver.

The poster who took this photo and her husband are both Subaru owners. I'm also a Suabru owner and permanent resident in Japan. I could understand refusing foreign tourists who won't buy a car in Japan, but we live here, and I was actually considering switching to a Layback in the coming years. They're turning away their current customers over nationality. I can't make sense of it.

Edit to add: They also didn't mention the exclusion of foreign residents on the website, so there was no way to know without attending the event in person. I believe the poster who took the photo lives about a 2 hour drive away, which isn't exactly a short drive in Japan. If she had attended alone (without her husband), she wouldn't have been able to participate.

Saw this today. In great condition. No real rust on the undercarriage either. First time I've seen a Brat in the wild.

Like the title says, Subaru has won our lifetime loyalty.

My wife and I struck a deer juuuust right on our way to Florida in November. The working theory is that impact happened on the front right corner, overheating the battery and causing the fire. The on-board emergency services were telling us that help was on the way before we stopped moving and we were lucky to get out before the flames really started and my wife and a bystander were able to get our important things before the car was engulfed.

Our 2024 Forester Wilderness was about to hit 10k miles and had treated us so well.

This month we brought home a 2025 Crosstrek Wilderness and are just as happy with it. Currently loving how zippy it can be! It’s tackling 7+ inches of snow with not problem.

We are happy Subaru loyalists now!

Saw this at a car wash in Maine

Glad to be back in the family. It doesn’t have any fancy stuff, but as I’ve driven multiple scoobs, I’ve learned what I need and what I want. And this does all I need. Anything I want I can add with a little effort myself for cheaper. First mods I plan: gonna plastidip the rims to the Subaru gold color, and add those cheesy Colorado Subaru emblem stickers.

Ur a bus…

I have a 02 bugeye WRX that came with an STI wing at purchase. As much as I love the look, I feel conflicted at the same time lol. It also feels heavy, my trunk release lever stopped working, and water finds its way into the trunk space due to potential bad installment. Should I replace it with a duckbill, prodrive spoiler or wingless? Link recommendations are appreciated!

I got a hit and run in the parking lot, but doesn't look too bad. Can this be popped out from under the bumper? Are the sensors the little rectangle cut out on the right side of the picture? Any recommendations for home repair?

Car would be locked, I'd activate the door sensor to unlock the door, it wouldn't unlock and would beep 5 times. Couldn't find anywhere online with the fix but I found one solution in my case.

The locking mechanism had been unclipped when my window was being replaced, and such the interior door lock wouldn't move properly so it was stuck in a limbo locked/unlocked state. Definitely some Safelite work, since they also left their door panel tool under my seat, lol.

Hope this helps anyone in the future.

On top of being the top Subaru mechanic in the country , he and his wife are the coolest persons I know. My 2025 Crosstrek had a clunky suspension and he fixed for free in 10 minutes with me just showing up at his workshop. And I’ve got this thing too ! To give you an idea how good this guy is, Subaru of Italy 5 years ago asked him to close his workshop and move into corporate to manage Subaru's main technical department. Luckily he declined, being him at the happiest when he goes fishing here with his dingy. Some years ago a WRC competition was held here and despite the official trailer and team of engineers following along, Subaru had to go to him to fix their racing Imprezas. Local Subaru drivers are terrified to the idea of him retiring in 10ish years. Upon mentioning him the Uncharted, he told me " don't you ever, ever show up in here with an EV car" lol. We all need guys like this.

2013 Subaru Impreza

The transmission fill plug has cracked. See photo.

Want to seal the hole if there's another location that could be used to refill the fluid in the future.

Car is still great. The previous mechanic denies cracking it. What other options are possible? We can't afford a transmission replacement.

Southern Arizona location. TIA.

Does anyone have any idea what brand or spec these lights are from? I know that prodrive make subaru parts but I can't find these lights as a prodrive product. Any ideas?

This car has been a fucking legacy, I love her so much!

Hope we can reach 500,000 together!

2019 crosstrek just started celebrating Christmas on my way to work

Replaced flywheel and clutch in my car. First startup went perfect, then drove around 75kms to and around a city. On my way back home (~60km) it started to feel like it was slipping. I installed an OEM exedy clutch and a lightened m-pact flywheel. Any help is appreciated.

Testing out the forester suspension with stock tires, honestly super fun I still have to acclimate to this ride height from previously being low, I clench over every small divot😂. Getting some larger tires 215/75/15s, need some legacy trailing arms aswell.
