    Does anyone know if Subaru has resolved the issues they had with their diesel engines?

    I sold my 2009 Legacy a few yrs back due to the crankshaft issue before it became a major cost to me, but I have my eye on a 2016 Subaru at the moment

    If they haven't I'll stick with what I have for the moment but I miss the Subaru

    I think they sorted most of the problems from about 2012 onwards but don't hold me to that.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I think that recent Subaru recall is for cars in the US

    I can deal with recalls as it just shows they are rectifying an issue, happens with all manufacturers, but the crankshaft issue was like sitting in a time bomb and nobody owning up to it

    When I need my car for work, I need to make sure its going to get me from A-B-A
