Scooby Fan Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Pretty interesting that for all the guys on here crying about all their problems and failures that 65% of us have had "No problems" with our cars. Did you see on the news this morning the the Top 10 cars were listed for performance and reliability.... Honda and Subaru tied for #1??? Maybe that will tell us something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LGTLtd Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Couldn't vote since there is no category for electrical/ECU failure. My ECU locked following a short in the wiring harness @65k miles. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT For ME Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Bought it a yr ago with 32k miles, now 44k miles and stg 2 for 10k of those. No problems besides a clutch whose days are limited. Dealer replaced the rear wheel bearings and fan relay prior to purchase. All good so far and still puts a smile on my face often. Dino oil every 3k, and just changed over to rotella syn, and will keep up with the 3k OCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 No turbo, tranny, or engine problems at 76k (owned since 44k) but the engine really likes to use oil. Full modlist in sig, but in short it's BNR68 on E85. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER DOWN Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 When I got home from work. I rolled over 160k . My OCI avg.12k with Amsoil 0w-30 SSO & Ea oil filters. Running Cobb st1 93 map, max boost is still 16.2psi. Original motor & turbo are running like new. Now if you talking wheel bearings, on my 3rd. set in the front. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I have an 06 LGT that is stage 3 with 88k on it. So far I have only managed to destroy my old 5eat, after my 20th or so 3500rpm launch. I drive this car like I stole it on a daily basis, but I also maintain the Hell out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjoe Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I purchased my 05 LGT used November 2006 with 14k miles. Now I'm running a stage 1 map at 100k miles on the clock and an OCI of 4k (mainly PP, M1 if I can't find it, 5w30/10w30 depending on the season).

scoobydoobie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You should have the option for people to change their votes on the poll. For example, some people could vote "No problems" right now and then a few weeks, months, years, whatever.. have a mechanical failure of some type.

yar1 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 05, Previous owner said he replaced original turbo at 70k, apparently he bought a used turbo and it died as well at 80k, new 16g and still good after 3k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronconia Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Detonation killed the ringlands. Video killed the radio star   I purchased my 06 5EAT Limited about 4 months ago with 63,000. Previous owners were an older couple, all subaru family. Meticulous maintenance records. Changed the oil every 3-4k with penzoil. No recorded problems. As soon as I purchased it (through an auto broker), my guy there did an oil change, machined rotors, changed belts, front brake pads, and some ding removal. Since then, SUBA performance did the 60k service (about 5k past the mark), and told me the engine was in excellent shape.  SO. No problems, OCI's in the 3-4k range, bone stock. EDIT: and for the record, I haven't lost any oil in the last 5k, and I drive her fairly hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webeus Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 #2 exhaust valve recession with engine miss at idle appearing just over 100K, eventually triggering check engine light and requiring head rebuild at 125K. Driven conservatively, 60-75mph highway mostly, Castrol GT or Synthetic and oil filt every 2500-3K with Tufoil added each change since ~24K. Also needed tumble generator valves at 104K - not internal, but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
