Be warned that they have a known CVT issue

Original review Apr 21, 2026

Had Subaru Forester serviced and rego checked. Told them about a juddering at low speed.

Returned with rego and advised fixed.

3 DAYS LATER, when car looked at again, advised that the gearbox had a malfunction and car was effectively worth $1000 for scrap.

Car is 10-year-old (2015) but only done 170k kms.

Always serviced at Subaru service centre. Car is modified so cannot just 'replace'.

A CAR SHOULD LAST BEYOND 170k kms

Loss:
$19000
Cons:
  • Critical major component failure at moderate kilometers

Preferred solution: Support to get this 'end of life' issue fixed as the rest of the car has plenty of life in it.

User's recommendation: Avoid
