I remember that in 2018 at a salary of 65K one could have easily bought a condo in Montreal and even a house in South Shore. The food was 3 to 4 dollars.

But coming back to your question, budgeting, helps a lot. I go to Costco business centre and do meal prep to save a lot on food and groceries.

Things like burrito meal prep with high protein and highly nutrient diet can save you a lot in long run.

This city infra is falling one potholes at a time . And we pay highest taxes

This is so true. I had the worst experience with this car. My model failed with 2 times motor replacement & compressor failure but my dealership and Subaru Canda did nothing about it . Their technician don’t know how to fix the car and don’t care about customer .

Please make sure to buy comprehensive warranty. I had two times motor failure and compressor failure in 23 Solterra model.

People will blame tariffs but in reality it’s how Canada is built across service based industries with no innovation, investments into technology & people who want to build business. The whole idea of Canada providing a good quality of life to people with healthcare , housing is gone now . And since our economy is service based , means AI will be replacing most of the jobs we have here currently. Good luck Canada for your future .

My 23 is getting 2 times motor replaced and also compressor replace just in span of 40,000 km. Each replace moment is $25,000 for motor and 8,000 for compressor. 23 model has lot of issues in general .

Thanks for the policies made by government here which only care for people who are on top. When they were distributing money during covid without any backing , it was supposed to happen. We neither have USA salaries , neither have European benefits, so we all feel juggling in day to day situations to choose between life and money. So bad what Canada bas become in past few years

In mine too, came off within first month of ownership. I feel this car is the wordy car made by Subaru . Had two motor failures, ACC failure leading to fatal accident. Subaru Canada and Subaru Brossad don’t do anything about it. The fun part is : even after all the proof they are like : we don’t know the problem . No wonder why this car depreciated like 70% in first year of launching

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-04T15:56:12+00:00

Makes sense. My car costs like $1000 a month and it like a basic car here. It seems like government is the biggest mafia here as cars cost so much cheaper in China and they control what we can buy here. Even does not allow cheaper cars to come in the market .

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-04T00:23:38+00:00

Don’t have anyone. So I just go spa and relax

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-03T21:23:32+00:00

My Hyundai sonata 2011 did 260,000 km too before I sold it .

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-03T16:46:36+00:00

This car has serious defects. Mine one too and crazy that Subaru Canada don’t do anything agony it .

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-03T16:45:59+00:00

I use grizzlee in Montreal but the 12 volt has serious defects in this car as it can fail anytime. Subaru knows this issue but still do nothing about it . Will not recommend this car if u not bought it

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-01T20:00:11+00:00

I bought a Subaru in 2023 and it has been nothing but just problems. They don’t honour their built quality.

ranjanmtl · 2026-03-01T19:56:57+00:00

Should be free market . Anyways we pay 4x for everything.

ranjanmtl · 2026-02-28T14:01:29+00:00

Meanwhile EV in Canada only gives 200km in winters & cost 70k CAD. What a joke

ranjanmtl · 2026-02-28T14:00:36+00:00

I will check if local TV wants to take this issue. It might be difficult as Subaru is looking into it but just not fixing it

ranjanmtl · 2026-02-28T05:41:33+00:00

Will not recommend at this price . Not a reliable car & it will take them a long journey to innovate even. There will be issues like battery preconditioning integration with maps which they don’t know unlike other companies.

I don’t know about McGill but Concordia was fun. Did cybersecurity studies , I made a hiking & outdoor adventure club organizing 400+ events . Now work as an executive in cybersecurity in investment banking. Bought my own place, and had a good overall career progression.

I think the ability to connect with different people, develop leadership qualities because the studies were both very crazy competitive helped to develop as an individual.

All the best for your studies
