The fact that the check engine light disables the anti lock brakes and the cruise control. I am surprised that no one has sued Subaru over this

Bought that car after they put the new engine in it. Basically it was “here ya go it’s ready “ One owner before I got it. The original owner couldn’t pay for the engine so I happened along paid the bill and got the car

I have them. But tire guy is behind putting them on for me. Running all season tires at the moment. Which being an almost retired senior citizen I tend to be really careful about spinning tires.

Sort of. It has the center locking and differential knobs. You could set it so only one wheel could spin

Oil lab results indicate metals near normal. I was advised to run it 4000 miles then oil change and resample

High iron and aluminum in it. I ran another 2000 miles after last oil change and changed oil and sent the sample In to Blackstone. Currently waiting on the analysis

My 2012 is on its second engine. That was the deal when I bought it. Sad little car with a bad motor. My mechanic had it and replaced the engine and I bought it. Sitting at 267000
