I've alwayz support Subaru since day 1. But i would realli like to find out wat's the normal service and maintainence cost, cos in the end all tis minor-minor $ would cost a bomb in the long run. Example how much does these cost:

1. water pump
2. timing belt
3. gear box
4. drive shaft
5. etc.... ( normally replace after 50,000km or 100,000km )

Hopefully these info can give a clear pictures for all the wanna-be Subaru-owner.... Thanks....

for me those thing is quite cheap & easy to find too..item 1,3,4 seldom spoilt one lah..timing belt,i think ard 400+..if u need to get cheap subaru parts,can look for Djmobile.:_:

subaru...

petrol consumption - same as any turbo performance car
maintenance and parts cost - similar to perdana V6

only worry about parts availability, which can be solved by being in the loop of subaru owners and specialist workshops

also another worry is only some mechanics can do subaru engines...so you must study and know your subaru and how it works...

but having bought an old '94 GC8 for 1.5 years liao...no regrets...problems can be solved...

Hi all Subaru fans,

I got a ver8 STi for 4mths now... Everything seems fine to me! Very good car n fun to drive!!! As for parts availability, i dun find any problem too as i do service my car in few places... If in case any of de fans here do hv parts sourcing problem, do go to Motor Image n hv a look! For most parts they hv it in stock!!! Other than tht, for after market performance parts I do shop at SS Racing @ Old Klang Road n servicing together with tyre change i go to F-One (they offer tremandous prcing for Yokohama product range) @ Dataran Aman Suria!!!

As for normal servicing cost, for me i think it is very subjective!!! It depends on how good quality engine oil, timng belt, gearbox oil, air filter n etc u wanna to put in for ur beloved car!!! Of cause better quality do come in higher cost!!! As for FC (fuel consumption), my car it is pretty bad as i change my ECU liao... So its a bit heavy on FC lor... So for those whi really concerning abt de FC, my advise is do not change de ori. ECU!!! Hehehe...

Hope de above info do help for everyone here!!!

Cheers!!! ;)
