They used to have those cheap head gaskets, I think two motors ago? So you'll still see people say "boxer engines have head gasket problems" but I think it was a couple gens back
I once bought a rusty, clapped-out Subaru wagon from a guy who was going to scrap it. Paid him $100 and drove it for the next year, then cut the roof off on a whim and drove it that way for another year. Sold it for the same $100 I paid, still running like a champ.
Super fucking safe too!
A guy hit me so hard his front wheel popped flew off, I can think of several other cars that if I had been in instead I would have been worse off.
My wife just got one and told me I can’t make lesbian jokes because her lesbian friends would be offended and I pointed out that my lesbian friends would be very amused.
I know a lot of people who drive Subarus. As far as I know, none are lesbians. But, there goes the GOP, assigning labels to those they know nothing about.
I don't drive at all
Never really cared what someone drives or whom they have sex with, gay or straight, it's not me
I just don't get any of that
I had most of these issues figured out when I was young
Good and bad souls come in all shapes, colors,sizes, sexualities and uniforms
At the risk of being a killjoy here, Subaru’s Starlink system (in many models starting in 2016) was discovered to be trivial to access which, while we joke about its brand appeal to LGBTQIA+ folk, does sadly represent an exploitable threat to them these next few years. https://samcurry.net/hacking-subaru

While yeah it sucks that it was a thing, it's at least not exploitable in that way now. Now if you're saying that the government will force them to hand over data. Well that sort of thing is in basically every modern car now.
Does your Subaru ever yearn to return to its homeland in the Pacific Northwest, to once again roam the hills and mountain valleys amongst its own kind like Kenji Kita intended from the beginning of days?
Must be an american thing. The rest of the world know that Subarus are top tier driving machines. Get yourself an WRX STi and drive circles around people. Fantastic car!
I do too, and one time a guy in Subaru pulled up next to me at a stoplight and gestured for me to roll down my window. I figured there was a problem with the lights or something but he just wanted to talk about our Subarus.
I hate the “Lesbaru” meme, often spouted by MAGAidiots. Our Subie kicks ass. Just finished 2 days bounding around in deep snow and it was unstoppable. Great car that’s safe and reliable. Yep, I suppose that’s pretty damned “butch”. So yeah, I guess I’m now ok with “Lesbaru”.
I was omw to a queer/lesbian meetup in ATL and the amount of Subarus pulling in lemme TELL you — my friend and I were cackling trying to count how many. I think it’s so cute
Everyone always laughs at me, a gay man, for driving a Crosstrek. “lol a lesbian car” they say. Fuck off the lesbians have it right. I’m not trying to be flashy. I’m trying to get shit done and I’ll be blaring free bird as I do the speed limit on the freeway around your status cars in a snowstorm.
Well, specifically the Subaru Forester was the “lesbian car of choice” - but I think that has extended out to Outbacks and CrossTreks. My 1978 Subaru Brat didn’t attract any lesbians, that I can confirm.
Hell it’s usually me my pony (pickup) and the Subaru crew giving rides when the soft whiteguy can drive is Jeep in the snow! Rookies!!! Stay home and wash your panties ‘’men’
My Subie is a lesbian. Dependable, always up for an adventure, not scared of a little snow, cheap, and if it has a break down, it's always the head gasket. Sounds like every lesbian I've ever met.

My mother and my brother both drive old foresters with doghair blankets over the backseat and also have indigo girls CDs in their cars. We are all lesbians. We're a proud lesbian family
Not sure if you're just making a joke or unfamiliar with the history, but in the 90s Subaru had a ground-breaking ad campaign targeting lesbians (a license plate with XENALVR for example) as well as supporting their LGBTQ workers more than most companies of the era
My first car was a 1984 Subaru GL sedan that I bought from a lesbian couple and I put a sparkly bumper sticker on it that said "Can I Test Drive Your Vulva?"
Newer Subarus are so entrenched in lesbian lore that the bumper sticker is just inferred.
I loved that ad where a Subaru gets totaled but everyone involved in getting it to the impound lot tells each other with a smile: "the lesbians lived." 🥲

But, I am always willing to help a friend and I have a few you can borrow. (.,?!"-)
More valuable than a fucking JD Power award.

All I got is a bicycle.
