Hello, in advance, I have absolutely no plan of Subaru. The only thing I have read that is probably the Forester of the 2nd generation very reliable. That’s all I know about Subaru. So please a little indulgence At the moment I drive a 2003 Honda CR-V which now has 240.000km down and is operated more or less only as a working animal with an hooker. With its 2 liter 150 hp gasoline it is also quite thirsty. No matter, here and there it rattles and rusts more u And more so it’s time to make a change. For me it’s certain that it has to be an all-wheeler and also a bit higher than a car. The Honda is really great from the seating height/position. Since I’m not quite as convinced of the all-wheel system of the CR-V I came to Subaru. The days I stumbled over some ads from various Foresters. Year of construction between 2006 and 2008 and 2 liters gasoline with 137hp. It is often automatic and have between 130,000km and 150,000km down. Here my questions. Handswitch or automatic? Automatic is a class for me. Did this happen in the Mercedes C and miss that in the Honda. But how good is the automatic in the Subaru? Every now and then it has to pull an adaptor. Or is the handswitch better? What are the weak points on the Subaru or what is difficult? How expensive or expensive are the service work on the Subaru? I read that he has timing belts. When is this possible? Costs? You can give me some tips. Greetings
