[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1489125, member: 35543"] I do my best to be objective. If someone has a legitimate issue, I am always happy to help when I can. That being said, I don't stand for people making baseless...and often ridiculous...comments and assertions. I think I speak for the majority of the members here when I say that we're are here to contribute information, share experiences, and engage in the community. To me that means positive contributions, whether it be sharing an experience with a new modification, the locale of a great off road trail, or a fix for a factory issue. It doesn't include bitching. That doesn't help anyone. What are referring to with "cheap plastic bits and pieces"? Coming from a Subaru, even an F-150 XL fleet truck is higher quality. As far as a Subaru Forester XT, it's a cheap japanese station wagon. No, it cannot go through water "up to it's windows". No, it cannot go a single place a Raptor could not. It's a unibody car known for leaking head gaskets, catalytic converter failure, turbocharger bearing failure, cam seal leaks, failed transfer case clutches, CVT failure, and cracked piston ring lands. How do I know? I've fixed them all. Every Subaru engine from the EJ251 to the EJ257 either leaked oil from the head gaskets, consumed coolant, or cracked ring lands (turbo models, especially STi). I've made plenty of money replacing head gaskets on out of warranty Subarus with 75K miles, only to have them return again at 150K miles with the same failure due to the OEM design. Costs the owner $3500 each time, dealer price is $5500. As far as modern Subarus...I'll let the reviews and company speak for themselves.
