  1. My 2010 Legacy 2.5i w CVT is now sitting at 249,072... Bought it in December 2013 with 28k on the dash.
  2. I don't have a 6th Gen, but I have 242,xxx on my 2010 Legacy. Bought it used in December 2014 with 28k on the clock.
  3. Update: While I still watch the above channels, I have since joined the lovely world of home ownership so my preferences have changed a bit. Now I watch a lot of the usual Automotive channels, but have added others. This Old House The Lawn Care Nut (Allyn Hane) The Pest and Lawn Ginga GCI Turf Services I actually watch the Lawn care channels more now than I do the Automotive.
  4. I should probably check my Spark Plugs and such.. I'm at 237k miles on my Legacy and to my knowledge, have never had the spark plugs changed.... lmao
  5. I have always ran the Continental DWS tires (I had the ExtremeContact DWS on my 2008 Impreza, and have used the PureContact w EcoPlus Tech on my 2010 Legacy). The PureContact tires are a very comfortable ride, and I get better than "rated" MPG's on the highway (averaging between 30mpg and 32mpg, or about 550 miles to a tank). This last winter was rather lame as far as snow was concerned, though the little we did get here in CT, I had zero issues with. Otherwise, I generally switch over to dedicated Snow tires in the winter, using Continental ExtremeWinterContact tires on a set of Steel rims, which when mounted on the Subaru, are nearly unstoppable.
  6. I have the 2010 with the CVT, I am at 222k and have never changed the fluid. Car still runs solid, though Yes, I am aware that I should change the fluid in the Trans, and Differentials and plan to get that done in the coming months.
  7. Just had the Timing Belt replaced for the 2nd time on my 2010 Legacy. Had an Oil Change and Takata Airbag Recall done at the same time. Car is 218,000 miles strong!
  8. I have a 2010 Legacy 2.5i, I have shut off the TC on mine and even with the CVT I have been able to have some fun in the snow. Have been able to drift around some corners, some good controlled slides and all.
  9. I have 217k on my 2010 Legacy, with zero issues. CVT and Engine have been solid for me over the last 5 years of ownership, averaging a good 40,000 miles a year. I'm getting it in this week for a new Timing Belt (2nd one for the car), but that is routine maintenance. I would not be afraid of the car, nor the CVT.
  10. Hmm, Been a member of the Forums for a number of years now but just now seeing this post. 2010 Legacy 2.5i, Sky Blue Metallic 214,000 (ish) miles, bought it 5 years ago with 28k on the odometer I served 8 years in the U.S. Army, Military Police. Now do Armed Security for a major DoD Contractor which Designs, Engineers, and Manufactures Nuclear Submarines for the U.S. Navy. No mods on the vehicle aside from converting interior lights to LED's. This is my 2nd Subaru, my first being a 2008 Impreza 2.5i 5 speed manual.
  11. If there is an issue with the timing, I personally would highly recommend NOT driving the vehicle. Remember, these Boxer engines are "Interference" engines, where the proper timing keeps the Pistons from connecting with the intake/exhaust valves. If the engine is out of timing, you run the risk of making contact and either bending a valve or making it a permanent part of the piston.
  12. Lmao! Hope that is on a Repo Truck and not a normal Tow Truck. lol
  13. StreetSpeed717 GuitarmageddonZL1 South Main Auto Doug DeMuro Stradman I burn way too much data every month watchin Youtube videos (50-70gb a month....) lol
  14. I have Personalized CT Veterans Plates "IRAQ-MP"
  15. Besides it looking like a bad photoshop job, read it backwords...
