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.

Our forester is a '99 GT auto and it is the most problem car we've ever owned.Before we bought it in 2003 we asked around about the forester for beach work and camping and all round good car and the forester was commonly mentioned.But how wrong were they. After one trip on the beach it destroid a g/box seal then starter motor twice then wheel bearings then radiator then steering rack twice and other rattles , and also when we hooked up our new camper trailer for a three our trip the suspension dropped to about 2 inchs from the ground and not much weight.We were told this is common on many of those things. Plus there are many minor interior faults also(rattles,dash problems,electics) Now the brakes are shaking......I give up..piece of junk. I much prefer my old mitsubishi scorpion work hack for every day driving.
