Hi all.
My 2019 just turned 180,000 miles in 28 months, so I thought I would let you all know what has gone wrong with it in that time.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
I am on my 4th windshield. This one is cracked because of a rock chip, like the others it went from chip to crack in minutes. Because of the location I am leaving it on the car. Interestingly it has been hit several more times but no more cracks. So it seems the crack relieved tension on the glass and the chips remained just chips.
It burned a little oil from 40,000 to 75,000 miles. About a quart between changes at 6000 miles. Why did it stop burning oil? I don't know, now it doesnt use a drop. I use Castrol Synthetic with Wix XP filters. Still no oil consumption at 180,000.
The original Goodyears went till 118,000 miles before hitting the wear bars, damn good. My driving is 95% freeway at 75mph and I have always averaged 32mpg. The replacements have about 50% life left after 60,000 miles.
Update> I put new brake pads on the rear at 165,000 but the fronts are original. I guess I am easy on breaks. The fronts have 25% remaining.
I put a new Serpentine belt on at 135,000. The original was showing no signs of wear but a few bucks is cheap insurance.
At 120,000 when I had all the Subaru 60,000 mile service done. With my easy driving I didnt see the point of spending that kind of money at 60K. I will wait for 200,000 miles and then have the Subaru 60K service done again.
The CVT has been OK. It is the only part of the car that worries me and I am kicking around the idea of changing the fluid. But, with 180K miles will it actually screw things up?
The bolsters on the drivers seat are showing wear, not the cloth but the foam looks mis-shaped. I am 6ft and 210lbs, so not a huge guy, but my miles are typicaly 10 years driving for the normal owner. Cant really complain.
I will update as stuff happens to my '19. Plan to keep it to 300,000.
Cheers.
