How does Subaru compare to Toyota and Honda?
I love my Toyota, never any problems and high mileage, can I expect the same if I buy a late model Subaru?
Very different schools of thought go into each one of those companies.
Toyota seems to be the most well engineered but they tend to be bland. Quality is usually high, economy is great but they tend to be overly safe and not ground breaking. The engines are well thought out for do it yourself maintence which is a great perk.
Honda has a more peppy feeling in the cars, engines are superb and proven and interiors tend to keep it simple and easy to use. Also easy to work on but sometimes you run into little honda quirks like difficult oil filters that are hard to remove due to the position.
And Subaru…designed for people who need the AWD, unique in the fact that they use boxer engines and well not the best interior or exterior designs but they are rugged…but suffer from weaker engine technologies and the power robbing AWD system. Unless you need the AWD and rugged travel anywhere mentality of subaru, I’d flip a coin and choose from Toyota or Honda.
