silverbeam Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 On a scale from 1-10 how reliable has the car been? 1 being horrible, 10 being spectacular. What problems have you been having, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrod Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I love it..best car i've owned...do get the rattle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deneb Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Only issue was an off center steering wheel, dealer fixed under warranty. I do seem to have an intermittent rattle or two, one in the rear view mirror area, and another seemingly behind the dash. They aren't bad, if they get worse/happen constantly, I'll probably get them investigated. I'm a little apprehensive about taking it in now for something that doesn't reproduce consistently, I'm afraid someone will take apart my car and end up introducing more rattles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinchy Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Alignment issues, Rattle, Fuel Pump Whine, detaching rubber trim in trunk, fuel door release malfunction, 2 windshield cracks + too-many-to-count chips, chipped paint. At least no major clutch stink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC GT Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 No problems at all. Just the common gripes re glove box not easy to close, remote too easy to trigger, the occasional stinky clutch (only if accidentally ridden), poor gas mileage (but I drive primarily city, short distances).

timbuktu Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 niggles only, never a worry about 'reliability'. Yeah, I think we need to define "reliability." The oft quoted JDPowers Initial Quality Survey asks if there are enough cupholders. Or if your satisified with your MPG. In my mind those two things aren't really related to reliability, but satisfaction. Reliability is a part of satisfaction, but with satisfaction you also factor in things like lack radio controls on the steering wheel or inability to drink your Starbucks Caramel Frappaccino while trying to shift from second to third with da stinky clutch.

iuksob03 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Two burned out headlights and a door working a little rough. They're more annoyances than anything. They have not detracted from my opinion of this car, which is a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vern Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 No reliability issues whatsoever in 11K miles. Only complaints are the occasional studder, a rattle that I fixed with foam between fuel lines, and the windshield is too easily cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeLoo Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have rubber trims splitting from the rear passenger doors where the window and door joins. I don't know how anyone can fix that. I'll inquire at the dealer at my next oil change (next week). 2005 Legacy GT Wagon Ltd 5EAT Garnet Red 1999 GTI VR6 Black - sold but not forgotten...

dash Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 have had both headlights burnout and the control unit had to be replaced since the wiper defroster did not work. Otherwise, great! Drove it in the snwo every weekend since Oct and was glad to have a Subie. The dealer (Ron Price Motors in South San Francisco) was great about the replacing the bulbs and the ECU under warranty.

EyeFlyIsTheEye Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 The mechanicals have been superb for the 11,000 miles so far. Things that are bugging me though: 1. Thin paint job 2. Chintzy floor-mat clip and trunk-mat 3. The paint on my driver's side door pull is flaking off 4. No good service department in my area 5. Easily cracked windshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 We need dent free doors for all the punks out there that don't have a clue! My favorite attribute of my Saturn. I can smack the hell out of the door panels without worry of denting. But even they are moving away from plastic panels. My main "reliability" complaints on the LGT are the paint and the dash. I already have a few scratches down by the ashtray and the whole piece isn't secured firmly enough to plug/unplug my FM transmitter without haven't to hold it together at the same time.
