Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Some of you guys need to do some reading before you start trashing other Car brands What would be the fun in that? Its a BMW forum - trashing anything non-BMW is de rigueur - almost all car forums are the same, many are far worse. Forums are all about having fun, generalisations and opinions. Whether they are right or wrong is almost immaterial, surely?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Agree with Jazz, BMW's like family, can do no wrong, this is our family forum, we occasionally knock the neighbours, but still have a beer with them, just got to live with it I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mavrick 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Not usually one to step in and say anything. But it clearly states that this is the first time they have ever won this award, their only previous being runner up in 2004. The majority of the subarus that are being driven by young people theses day are pre 2003, which would mean that the engines in these cars didn't win any engine of the year award. I am merely stating a point no need for retaliation. I have seen how terrible these engines can be first hand. My mate bought a 1997 sti coupe before he had done 5000kms hes had to have a brand new turbo, totally rebuilt engine with forged pistons (all covered under warranty). Needless to say it is up for sale due to the fact that theres always soemthing going wrong with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SKT174 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 its so hard to get the spark plugs changed on subarus.. I think that's why they use platinum plugs instead of normal ones so no need to change as often ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
