Subaru Forester - Nothing like Subarus of old | ReDriven used car review 

I had a 2016 XT and sold it with 149,000kms. One of the most reliable cars I ever had. Never an issue with the CVT, super comfy and powerful.

Bought mine in June 2019. None of the problems you mentioned (except for the Eyesight shit being annoying) are present in my Car. Comfortable, reliable and am consistantly getting 8.2 litres to the hundred. Maybe yours has been thrashed. I would buy a Subi again without a problem ...

Yaaaayyyy!! New redriven vidsss. Luv this detailed content. Kp up the good work guys!🤟🤟👍👍😎😎

Yayy new redriven vid!!! kp up the work guys! 😎✌✌👍👍👍

The enthusiastic voiceover totally woke me up 😂 love your videos guys!

I sat in one of these recently and you're spot on, everything inside creaked and wobbled, it wasn't wearing well.

Love the background - a Renault on the hoist and a Korean Holden in queue. Basically both in their natural habitat.

Love the enthusiasm in the VO 😂

MY14 SJ, 170k of mixed driving on mine. Very reliable car. Deliberately bought the L model to avoid the Eyesight shite as I know driving country I go through the odd windscreen. Surprised how much noise gets into the cabin. 2017 onwards upgraded the acoustic dampening. Like clockwork the oil light goes on after 8,000k after the last service. Add half a litre of oil and it's happy to the next service. No issues with the CVT.

2022 Premium owner here. All good so far, to early of course but look: I had 45K back in 2022 to buy the best SUV I can and I can tell you after several months of research: I did not got it because it was pretty, but it was at that price mark the best in a everything else. Others SUV that I tested were CX-5, RAV4, Outlander, XTrail and even a second ha d Lexus. None of those had the same interior space safety and equipment for that price. Time till tell. Cheers !!

Very funny . One of the only channels that you can judge by the expression on the thumbnail, weather to buy or not

Love my 2014 Forester xt. Changed a front driver side axle and both front A arms. Yes, brakes of course. The roads I drive are full of pot holes and are in very poor condition. 116000 km today. Actually changing the full synthetic oil right now. Never had an issue with the cvt. Engine doesn't burn a drop. Practical, fast and awd which is a must in my location. I'm keeping it forever. I do anti rust the car as best as I can.

Another great job gentleman.

2013 Forester with 170k kms. Owned it for 5ish years. It's a real oil burner, 1L/3000-4000kms. Lower control arm bushes are a dumb design, so on the second change we swapped them for Superpro ones (very comfortable still). A/C system needed o-ring replaced, then the condenser replaced and hasn't been as good since. All of the above has happened after around 150,0000kms.

i have a 2018 2.0 forester, front bushings are weak, front engine chain cap leaks after 4 years. is noisy, but i love it.

Moment of silence for the XT

I enjoyed this review as I am a long term Subaru owner and now have a MY2020 SK Forester - a 2.5 i-S (top spec model). I sold my early 2009 3Gen Outback to get this, and I definitely have very mixed feelings about it. Previous owner did 20Kks and it was showroom nick, and had an ECB bullbar on it. I put a 2" LPA body lift kit in, and a SubaXtreme alloy bashplate, and switched the 18's to 17" aftermarket wheels. This probably sounds funny to others but we chose the S model as it's the only one with the leather seats - we have a severely disabled daughter and without going into the details of why, the leather seats are much more suitable than anything absorbent. But … I don’t need or want any of the other S features, including 18’ wheels, electric tailgate or sunroof. It’s just for the leather seats. About the car … I'd say lots to like, and lots to dislike. I don't think there was anything in the review I disagreed with. On the plus side, it’s worth mentioning that the turning circle of this Foz is exceptionally good. Makes it great in city parking etc and off road as well. The AWD system as always is the best of all the AWD SUVs. Roominess for passengers and driver is exceptionally good. Cargo carrying capacity is great. The side/ rear view is excellent (compare with something like a Pajero Sport, or new MU-X and you’ll realize how good the vision is in the Foz). Things I don’t like … firstly, just how plasticky and flimsy things are. We live in a forested country mountain environment and there are so many sticks on the roads that flick up and they really do damage. The mudflaps in front of the rear wheels tore off within the first month. A bracket that holds the wire to the electric handbrake bent really badly. Plastic trim under the door, and rubber seal, got popped out and torn. My biggest upset was finding that when I left the tailgate open for hours, eg when going camping. I complained hard, and was fobbed off. The dealers all told me that the electric tailgate “is not meant to be left raised for extended periods”. Seriously??? I mean, the Foz is a car that you want to take camping, and leaving the gate up is normal behaviour. What about the Mum who unloads the shopping in the garage and forgets to shut the rear, and next morning her battery’s totally flat. Not acceptable I said!! I ended up going to battle with Subaru Australia and reached the point of gathering a bunch of others on the Facebook page, to take it to the ACCC, and when I updated Subaru Australia they suddenly asked me to take it back to the dealer and this time they replaced the tailgate control module and the issue is fixed. But I was sad that I had to get loud and obnoxious to get barely acceptable customer service. The Subaru dealer network is not the supportive family it used to be. Our windscreen cracked too. It was parked not moving when it cracked! We got the insurer to fit an aftermarket one as it’s stronger, and have had no issues with the eyesight stuff. I don’t like the way the leather seats are perforated. My old outback had solid leather and it was brilliant. I had stronger King Springs put in the front as it bottomed out so harshly on potholes or grids etc. It was due to the bullbar which weighs 42kg and hangs out front, but even after that I think the suspension is too soft. I may fit aftermarket heavy duty struts/ shocks. I agree with the weird steering/ vague handling mentioned in the review. I can’t put words to it but it just feels a bit jiggly and wandering on the road. Not firm and planted like my old Outback. The rearmost lower control arm bushes have absolutely split apart and are about to be replaced. Our mechanic was aghast that they’ve busted so early (75Kk) I love the sound system, the Carplay, the reversing camera, the adaptive cruise control and more. I think the multiple displays are way too much and confusing. The user scan function works well for me, but generally won’t recognize my wife. I hate the beeping alerts for “watch the road”, the lane control assist, the auto stop/ start and the emergency braking. I think we’ll keep it, as I can’t find anything “better”. Tougher vehicles mostly drive like trucks and have awful surround vision. I need to replace our 2nd car soon and will probably look for an older Foz or Outback.

Thanks Adam - as mentioned in a previous comment I’ve owned over 11 Subarus (mmm… a bit OCS) from a humble Leone wagon to WRX GC8, Forester XT, Liberty, Outback and so on - I have to agree after driving my sister’s top of the range 2022 Forester with the dreaded CVT, annoying stop/start (idle stop now used in new Triton) annoying electronic park brake and very very vague steering my post 2013 new Subaru days are over - a shame because they’re the class leader for the AWD system where the rest of the brands are pretenders with this system - I now drive a pre-DPF 2010 Toyota Hilux diesel automatic and only have ABS, steering wheel controls and electronic windows/mirrors - very simple, very reliable and practical.

To your "so much going on here" comment on the interior - Mazda does interiors so much more elegantly. I test drove a 2018 Forester and it couldn't be driven with the driver's window down due to the noise from the standard roofbars and it just felt soggy and top heavy on the road despite low kms. I went for an Outback and it feels so much more grounded and taut on the road as well as quieter. I stuck with Subaru because they handle dirt roads really well.

2013 forester xt. Fast & reliable so far. Good off road capabilities for a family suv. Cant recommend enough 4th gen xt

I own a 2015 2.0 Diesel Forester, which is my third Subaru Forester. It is now 125.000 km and never had a major issue up to now.

I've got a 2006 Forester XT. I bought this after being horribly disappointed with a 2016Forester XT which I sold.

I've been driving manual V8s for the last 36 years. The wife prefers something that's good for camping, so after her Adventra was written off we got a Subaru Outback 3.6R my17, full service history and only 40k km a year ago. Thus far, it's been great, I even like driving it. Roomy, 3.6 engine has plenty of power and uses under 9 lph on the hwy. CVT is better than I expected. Service from the Subaru dealership after 2 services has been excellent. So far so good.

I have 2010 Forester auto 440k on it still runs great. Have had only a radiator. And oxygen sensor. Amazing car. Love them. Tough well built cars. 😁

I bought a new Forrester S last april year, its done 39000 without any failures, I have only experienced the CVT shudder once, and the 'heavy' power steering once. so far no rattles even though I live in the country with the worst roads in the state. My only gripe with the car is that the factory fitted tyres only lasted 29000 kms before needing all four replaced.

These are great reviews actually helping a friend look for a used SUV atm what would be your pick for a 15K budget and no more then 150000KM?

From the sounds of this review and what I've heard from others around the traps, Subaru as a whole are starting to become the Japanese for push with all the problems they've been having. Will be interesting to see how the older models of the Forester compare to this one when you get to review them 🤔 When you were doing the safety features overview Adam it sounded like you were try to be a mascot for a theme park lol 😆. Have to admit this video has given me plenty to mull over though I highly doubt that I'll be getting this gen of Forester if I consider buying a Subaru lol. Good video guys as always and look forward to next week's batch of videos as always. Keep up the good work and have a good weekend 👍.

Re the complaints In video AND in comments about the beeping - These can be perma turned down or OFF in the Multifunction display settings (induvidually for newer models)

While I have personally been driving Alfas as my daily conveyance for the last 10 years, we've had 3 Foresters over that time as the family hauler (2012, 2014 and now 2019). Completely agree about the annoying lane assist interference (freaked me out the first time I felt it...) auto-stop-start, and incessant bongs (all thanks to the standard inability of boombah US drivers to pay attention and then sue the company when they run up someone's arse and spill their mega super-sized full cream mocha with chocolate dusting). Worse thing about all these doodads is their massive power drain which can mean factory-spec batteries don't last - you really are better off upgrading it to a more powerful one (though that seems to be a pretty common problem with most modern cars with multiple ECUs for the fleet of electronic aids). The floaty ride is just how they came out of the factory. The CVT on the 2019 is lightyears better than the one we had in our 2012, though I personally can't stand them. We've not had an issue with head gaskets or CVT problems with any of ours, but I'm touching wood as I write this to avoid putting the mozz on. So why do we keep buying them? Well they are pretty comfortable, have enough go for a two-tonne family SUV with more than enough space for the typical family getaway, have permanent AWD that can handle a muddy farm track, and at least they don't look exactly the same as all the other soft-roaders in their price range. But most of all, it's that I know they are built like brick sh..houses in case of a bingle. Me and the whole family were in our 2012 Forester when we got T-boned by drugged-out driver who went straight through a red light at 60kph and never braked. Hit us flush on the LHS B-pillar, we were spun 180 degrees and also rolled 360 degrees onto the roof and back onto the wheels. It was totalled. But all four of us walked away with little more than some bruises from the seat belts, and some cuts to my son's hand from broken glass. The other driver's car was obliterated. Since then, the Subi is the only thing I am confident will provide real life protection in a major prang. But this one will probably be the last - kids all grown up now, so don't really need something that big. And the missus will probably want something electric...

My mum’s 2020 has had 5 windscreens so far. Each time needs an eyesight recalibration at the dealer

Wow, redriven you good at reading minds i see, just wanted to request this though the previous model. I had it and got stuck on(the shifting knob stopped working) S# , fuel was horrible at 5.5km per litre.

Looking forward to the SH Forester review.

Have 2014 model from new with cvt, nearly at the 200,000km and have had no issues other than using some oil. just check it regulary and top it up.

I had a 2018 Forester which got both the faulty power windows and 2 dead A/C compressors mentioned in the video. All of which happened when the car was just out of warranty. Luckily Subaru gave me a bit of a grace period and fixed it for me gratis but I got rid of it ASAP after that. It was a shame because it actually drove really well...oh well.

The old manual ones are way more bulletproof than the new CVT ones. My uncle still has his 2006 Forester manual, with over 300,000km and never had a major gearbox or transmission failure. Got it serviced often, and the manual never broke down. CVT's are just way too high maintenance and costly to keep without regular oil changes, compared to the manuals.

I have a 2004 Forester XT with 5spd manual box, it’s been well maintained and still runs perfectly, very reliable, it’s also slightly modified, surprisingly fast and very fun to drive. I also currently own 3 other cars much newer and not as good as the old Forester and have also owned many other cars over the years, much newer and more expensive including two other newer Foresters, 2010 and 2016, I have moved those cars on and kept the 04 XT because it’s better than the newer ones and you just cannot buy this type of vehicle any more, I’m keeping it.

I think you’re doing a very good job reviewing these cars Redriven team, there is a car that i have in mind that is a mid-size SUV called Haval Julion and i like it but I’m bit anxious to buy it, is there a cheat sheet for it or a video? Thx again Team.

3 outback’s in a row. 2 5th gen and a 6th gen. I do 150,000km in each before moving them on. So far 1 rain sensor leaking it’s fluid down the screen (known fault) 1 front drive shaft at 120,000km. That’s it for 3 cars so far. So maybe not Lexus reliability but I’ll take it.

Great candor

Literally, just last week, I stopped at the pub for a refreshing lemonade on my way home. I couldn't help but notice one of my lemonade loving mates in distress and quizzed him as to what was troubling him. "Head gasket on the Suby, two grand, that fu@ks me", he replied. At least the lemonade was cold.

I own a 2015 Forester XT and it will be the only Subaru I will ever buy. Once I get my kids through college, it's a goner. At 60k check engine light started coming on because of the O2 and Fuel/Air sensors and it comes on every 10-15k with the same code. I now just clean the sensors every other oil change because they're over $300 each for an OEM Subaru part. I replaced the lower control arms at 90k because of worn bushings and one cv shaft. At 115k I had to replace the transmission at $8k because the front differential went bad and it's internal and part of the transmission, plus the other cv shaft. At 145k I replaced all four hub bearing assemblies because they started droning. A friend had a Crosstrek and traded it in after 1 yr of ownership because of the rear hub assemblies kept going bad. The dealership changed them under warranty, but he was tired of the hassle of having the car in the shop every 3-6 months.

I have a 2007 2.5L XT Premium (XTeN). 130,000 miles plus. Normal wear and tear new radiator and new rear shocks. No problem. Absolutely love it. Sometimes I get a notion to upgrade but I don’t like the new enlarged models and I absolutely detest all the friggin electrics in modern cars. Seems like sometimes you are travelling in a microwave oven with all the darn dings. Mine still drives like a high performance car yet can tackle most terrain and conditions. When I change I’ll probably get another 2007 or 2008 with lower mileage. This is the best model of car I have ever had and this is my third one.

I rented a ~2008 version fishing in Vancouver. So impressed. Almost bought one when back home, but a truck and a rock crawling jeep and why do I need this? Today, newer truck, still have the jeep, but I'd swap the jeep for that ride today.

great review as always mate👍 You mentioned to buy Sportage for under $15k. Which engine is better? 2.0L petrol or 2.0L T Diesel?

May I suggest as an alternative, the 1978 K5 Chevy blazer. Never breaks and will climb a tree if you ask it to.

American, 2018 Forester, 6MT. At 43k miles, I had to replace the rear right wheel bearing. At 70k miles my AC needed recharged (just freon, no parts replacement). Annnnnnd nothing else. Gas, oil, tires, brakes. So, $600 in repair costs over 5 years? Works for me.

I own a 2018, American edition and no problems, just replaced the battery after four years. No major repairs, just oil changes. All direct injection systems get clogged up, just the way it goes.

I took a Forrester for a test drive earlier this year, you’re right about the steering. I bought a Sportage instead.

What else should I consider in a similar class to this?

Story is spot on. I have owned 12 subarus, 6 bought 2nd hand, and 6 bought new. The 6 new have all been Foresters since my 2005 model, through to a 2019. I have already sold the 2019 and that will likely be my last Subaru. I was a Subaru fan and loyal customer, but their reliability has declined since 2012 for me, and I am very disappointed. I had a 2012 Forester which had to have a new short engine fitted under warranty due to excessive oil consumption, a litre every 1,000 kms. And my 2016 Forester had an air conditioning condenser replaced under warranty, then in the year it was just out of warranty, it has had to have 2 rear wheel bearings replaced, both front lower control arms replaced, air conditioning compressor replaced, and steering wheel locking has stopped working. I am a mature driver, the vehicle's have been well maintained as per their service schedule, and serviced by Subaru during warranty period, and not driven hard, or on bad roads. And I wasn't happy with my 2019 model after just 30,000 kms, I didn't like the way that the CVT transmission worked on this model, it didn't seem to work as well as on my 2014, or 2016 Foresters, so I sold it. I suspect Subaru may be cutting costs on the quality of the components that they put in to their cars. Prior to 2012, they were very reliable, but they don't appear to be any more.

my parents had one from new 1998/7 model and it died in 2014 gearbox was hosed along with a bunch more stuff, this is indeed an older model but i'm sure there are far more reliable vehicles out there worthy of your money. they also had an RX model 2002 bugeye and that had a famous headgasket problem and promptly overheated and resulted in a full engine rebuild. i'll stick with Toyota and Hondas thanks

I’ve got a 2017 Forester 2.5 non turbo. 65,000kms and the lower control arm bushes failed. It also has oil consumption issues and the squeaky seatbelt drives me nuts. The lower control arm bushes are a common problem (dealer said this) so it’s worth noting. No other issues with mine and it’s done 73,000kms now.

Cabin noise and the worse-than-having-nothing touch screen infotainment system are my biggest gripes on the MY17 Levorg. Having to raise your voice on the freeway to speak to the person beside you in a mid-market modern vehicle is just baffling (see what I did there?).

I have an MY16 SI Forester. It's been a great car, but yes, the warning bells and beeps are tedious and the forward collision sensor takes some getting used. It's not as big as the latest ones which is good. It's just easy to drive whether your on tar or dirt. My only real issue is the leather on the steering wheel is CRAP !

Please please please do a review on the Toyota Aurion!!! Commies n falcons get all the hype but the Aurions are beast!!

For the value and price-point in the category its still a great vehicle great despite the issues. A majority of modern vehicles are not built too well like in previous years. It's kind of expect now after a few years.

Bought a 2015 XT Premium new and still have it. 90K on the odometer, and returning around 9.5L/100km. No issues at all. Think the worst part of ownership was servicing, every 6 months and $300-$330 per service...ridiculous. Beena good car but will be selling in next 6 months...now what to buy next?

Had a 98 Liberty AWD wagon until a year ago. 350k kms on the clock original engine, transmission and head gaskets (EJ22). Older models you could tell were built by engineers - fuel filter in the engine bay 2 minute job, EXTERNAL transmission filter was a spin off one like an engine oil filter, separate fuel pump and level sender units in the fuel tank, METAL fuel pump assembly etc etc most repairs are 5 minute easy access. Even 2 gens later it was all over in the mid 2000's - the 2004 i also had was a pile of trash - ALL bushings needed replacing, door actuators were ALL bad, dash cracks/melting, usual head gaskets (oil and coolant external leaks), wheel bearings. Meanwhile the 98 - none of those issues, older and more miles no problems.

This guy must be a Millenial, the whole video wining about the car wich is best rated by Consumer’s Reports in it’s class…i knew it from the start when he mentioned the head gasket issues, a problem solved in 2014, hello it’s been 10 years!!!

I think the issue here is that its now a mainstream SUV like RAV 4 or CRV, and like you said its bigger than it used to be, the old Foresters were car like, some parts where even transformed from Impreza.

I've got an MY16 i-S, reliable so far. Steering wheel is poor (already started peeling after 60k), turfed the infotainment in favour of an Android head unit, cvt is dull to drive (would have loved a manual), great for eating up the highway though...

Great review! I had a 2004 My05 Forester X auto. One of the nicest cars I’ve owned in 30 years of owning cars but the most problematic. Don’t mention head gasket or timing belt near me. I’d never buy another.

Do a late 80's L series wagon next.

Do one on the new crvs these reviews are great

Nice watch

We has the 2016 xt turbo, great car for many years and the best suv ever till 2022 when the LED headlights started to go. It turns out they are about 2.5k each to replace because the whole assembly needs to be purchased. Finding a second hand part is also highly improbable as they are rare and if you found one it's approx $1700. So beware the adaptive LED headlights.

I had an s3 Forester xt, chose it over the s4 because of the stupid electric bongs, and nanny state controls and cvt.

Think I will stick with my Liberty GT with it's old fashioned millennial 5 speed anti theft device 240000 and still going strong

Does anyone know what is the height (headspace) in the boot? I’m considering this to know how comfortable it would be to sleep in the car.

what about a 2011 forester? same issues?

Ooooh please review the outback 😁 older and new models

Who wants to see Adam do a review of an MG? I'm sure it will be an honest review 🤣🤣

8:04 you can see where the dog noses have been on the window XD

I have this year's one . Here's the thing. It's all about the base model. The base has everything you would ever want for so much cheaper than the equivalents from other brands.

Subbie Fan. Owner of a Forester 2014 XT and 2019 WRX. Sold my 2005 Forester. But open for another addition either a GC8 WRX or 07 STI Forester. If you look after them they will treat you right.

The ordinary petrol versions with 2 litres are too weak. XT is not sold in all markets so the "ordinary" petrol needs more oomph. They must also fix the heating system so the car get fast warm during wintertime.

i have a Old 2004 Subaru Legacy 3.0R its called Subaru Liberty in Australia but its very fun to drive

Somehow driving one of these back to back with a clearly more cheap and cheerful Mitsubiishi Outlander (not the newest gen) I just preferred the Outlander.... I could never fully understand why possibly less tech being shit and steering better?

Hi mate, would you please make a video on 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero sport exceed. And is it worth buying it in 2022 or 2023 Thanks

The head gasket is an outdated issue with 1990-2000 non-turbo EJ motor with carbon impregnate gasket.... Turbo EJ with multi layer metal gasket was not concerne with this issue. and Its been solved long ago with new generation FB and FA subaru motors. CVT issues plage all brand because nobody are doing the 30k miles CVT maintenance on their vehicule..

Why do they insist on these CVTs instead of just going back to Torque converter Automatics that are tried and tested? An 8-Speed ZF would do a better job than a CVT

Was this video filmed in the Upper Hunter Valley?

Change your PCV valve each 30.000 miles it’s a must $5.00 part at dealer. also change your oil at each 5.000 miles and you CVT and Rear oil at 60.000 plugs at 80.000 and your GOOD for MANY YEARS to come. NO BAD CARS JUST BAD OWNERS

I think the 2018+ model was outstanding...

Ive got a my22 is. Spot on about the windscreen. Im on my 3rd. Also since the cruise control is depended on the eye sight tech, it switches off during medium level of rain or if there is sun directly in front of you.

Sunroof has no tint which is just ridiculous and makes car very hot in Australia

Subaru stopped being reliable when they started using the CVT trans in place of the conventional Automatic gearbox, overnight the Subaru lost all of it's off road ability as well (limited as it was to begin with)

With the transmission fluid replacement, Subaru is worried that it might be more likely that contamination enters during a service than if you just leave it as is. Id definitely only do it at Wubaru if you are going to do it, but why would you if theyre going to honour and replace the transmission if it fails.

The current generation is actually the Subaru Florister.

Disappointing to hear about the new ones. We had a 98 GT Forester luxury pack manual for 12 years and it was great. But also not with some repairs incl. leaking rocker seals that needed the engine out to fix, cracked radiator, MAF busted, fuel pump failed, shocks blew out, exhaust rusted away. And the 5 speed was getting pretty notchy at the end.

Had a 2012 Liberty Wagon ( that replaced a 2009 Liberty wagon) that did 97000 at trade in. Only problem was a clunk in front driver side suspension that was never resolved. I liked the CVT transmission. Worked well. HOWEVER, I moved to a European car brand as the 2012 Subaru seats played havoc with my back doing regular trips from Vic to Qld. No back problems in last 7 years. A friend bought a 2016 diesel Forester on my recommendation and it was so problematic that Subaru replaced it with a petrol model within a year. This one is still going well with no problems.

I own an MY i-S. Major gripes are the terrible quality of the leather steering wheel that is delaminating - it started with 2 very small patches and has spread significantly, and the horribly glitchy stereo screen that freezes. And the Foz is an absolute slug. , especially in comparison with the Audi Q5 that we had, which is an unfair comparison but the thing really is slow to accelerate. Other than those things I am pretty happy with it, but that said, I am looking for a Mazda CX-5 GT Sport or Akera variant with the 2.5 turbo. About to watch your review!

Had 1 for 4 years and just sold it for what I paid new. Objectively well made, easy to drive but oh so boring. Exact opposite to my 156 Alfa which I miss.

I’ve owned an Outback and two Foresters. They were all brilliant with no issues. I don’t know where the nonsense comes from regarding the CVT transmissions or blown head gaskets. The XT may have had issues but the 2.5 motors were bulletproof. And they were amazing off road.

6:17 Subaru interiors were once premium?? When? Has he not seen the interior of past imprezas?

1st gen subaru forester sti is the best subaru wagon period 🤘🏻

Does anyone else have an issue with the oil level light randomly turning on despite the oil level being fine in their Subaru?

2017 Forester, all good in general, be a great car except: Suspension components crumple, wheel bearings perish, brake rotors get chewed through, the steering wheel delaminates. Serviced the gear box but jesus that was $$$. Still have it, wouldn’t buy it again, been too expensive for stupid issues with low kms.

Hey guys. I have an i30 Sedan/Elantra N if you guys wanna check that out. It might be a bit new it’s done only 10,000km so far but just was wondering if you would consider it. If so let me know, I’m in Canberra.

So subaru used clippy as the camera monitoring system.
