Replying to: p0926 (Feb 28, 2008 10:27 am) I sold my Forester with nearly 90k miles and it was on the original clutch. A friend of mine had an Impreza 2.5RS, 2 years newer, and was on his 2nd clutch (an ACT model) within a couple of years. He abused it, though. AWD burnouts sure are cool but you gotta pay to play!

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 28, 2008 10:32 am) Sold my Mazda truck with over 150k miles and original clutch, which had pulled 2000 lbs of boat and trailer every summer since 1991. Having been a passenger in many manual transmission cars in the past 50 years, I have noticed that very few people use the clutch in a way that will get the most life from it. They are not abusive, but they just don't know.

Replying to: djenson (Mar 02, 2008 10:56 am) Both happened under warranty. Seats are a wear item, to be honest I'm surprised they even replaced the covers for you the first time. Another thing - the X model gets different fabric than the upper trim lines. Just check that out before you decide. I wouldn't count on the warranty to fix any of that stuff, from any make to be honest.

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 03, 2008 9:24 am) That said, I had no problems with the cloth on either of my newer Outbacks (07 and 08) with about 7500 miles put on each. |

Replying to: xwesx (Mar 03, 2008 10:01 am) My 98 had a thick woven fabric that turned out to be very durable, but didn't feel soft, like the fabric on the higher trim line (S models). But that softer velvet-textured fabric was less durable, as a trade-off. paisan pointed out in another thread that lark6 used to rest his elbow on the window sill and the fabric there had some wear.
