Bought this in 2008 when it had 106,000 miles. Have driven it almost 100,000 miles. Amount one month ago, it was sitting at the curb idling and I was at someone's door talking with them. Engine made odd noise and stopped. I went out to it and tried to start it. Wouldn't start. Made noise like when battery not strong enough to turn it over. I knew this was not the case. Had it towed to a Chrysler / Nissan dealer's garage. They investigated and found that an idler pulley on the timing belt had froze. That put much strain on the cam shaft pulley and it broke and the timing belt broke too. We decided to replace those parts and see if it would run. When those new parts were installed it started right up. At that point we also put in a new water pump. Have driven it several hundred miles since then and it has given no trouble at all. When timing belt broke, mileage was 201,187 and now mileage is 201,429. But in the meantime, we bought a new car. So, we are selling this one. We have enjoyed this car a bunch and hate to part w it. But, new car has much fewer miles. I have changed oil regularly and used Wix filters. I usually use 20W50 oil in all my cars. On the interstate I drive about 60 mph. Radio and A/C work. Ever since I have had it, it seems to shift w a little thump when going into a higher gear. Has gotten very slightly worse over the yrs. Have never thought till recently that I might just need to change the transmission fluid or clean out the filter there. There is a trailer hitch on it, but all we have ever hauled is to put a bike rack on it and haul our bicycles. New alternator about 2 yrs ago. New radiator about 1 yr ago. New left front axle about 2 yrs ago. We have never had any wreck at all w it. As far as we can tell by looking underneath, no one else has. When I had this car to Lou Fusz Subaru in St Louis, he had it on his cptr system and noted that it had a new engine put in it at 60,000. Lou Fuzs said that the factory engine began to knock a little at the end of the factory warranty and they honored it and put in a new engine.

Subaru Impreza shows off 360-degree passing technique
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Leave it to a Subaru WRX to find a new way to improve the art of passing. This dash cam vid shows a white WRX pirouetting past our recording car and somehow straightening out before either sliding off the road or slamming into the car ahead. If this were a standard move in rally racing, the WRC would be bigger than NASCAR.
Like most dash cam vids, we don't know where it was shot (Russia's always a good bet) or what the circumstances were (did the driver spin on purpose or was the 360-degree slide accidental?), but the remarkable feat was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube, preserving it for an Internet eternity. Scroll below to watch the twist yourself, and don't try this at home!
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Subaru gives Aussies BRZ Sports Pack
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Well, it might not be exactly the Subaru BRZ STI that we've all been waiting for, but Australian market shoppers are now going to have the option of adding some STI flavor to their coupe, with this new BRZ S.
Critically, the Sports Pack upgrades included in the S specification do not involve forced induction of any kind for the BRZ's 2.0-liter flat-four mill. Instead, the BRZ S will offer a novel flexible strut tower brace and a coilover suspension to aid its already impressive handling prowess. Visually, the car gets a new aero kit with lowered skirts and a new front and rear splitter, as well as some mean-looking, 17-inch black wheels. Inside, a new gearlever and a STI-branded starter button will call out the S model.
The S package can be ordered on a new BRZ and fitted at the dealer, or added to an existing customer car. When ordered new, the BRZ S adds $7,995 Australian - about $7,275 US including installation - to the price of the six-speed manual car, or $7,195 Australian ($6,547 US) for the six-speed automatic transmission model. That's a pretty fat wedge of cash, but it's worth bearing in mind that Australians generally pay significantly more for new cars than we do here in the States. For instance, the BRZ starts at $37,150 Australian, nearly $34k US. Even accounting for regional equipment differences, that's a lot more than the BRZ's $26,265 as-delivered base MSRP here in America.
