ehsnils Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had a little chat with the dealer here today and some time mid March they expect to get the demo diesel with CVT. It's the Outback that's going to be first having the CVT with diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ok guys, how expensive and difficult would it be to convert a 4th gen to diesel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 not hard but cost about 6K .. just convert to propane for even cheaper cost per mile than diesel.

ehsnils Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 not hard but cost about 6K .. just convert to propane for even cheaper cost per mile than diesel. Only works until the government realizes that there's money to make on taxing propane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Only works until the government realizes that there's money to make on taxing propane. dunno .. about 20-30 % of cars in europe run on propane. i'm pretty sure the government knows about that.

mustangendsley Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 just think of all the black smoke we will be breathing with diesel if they become popular. oh boy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 just think of all the black smoke we will be breathing with diesel if they become popular. oh boy!!! Except that a modern diesel doesn't leave much smoke behind. The smoking diesels you see are people that has "tuned" them by increasing the injected amount of fuel to a level where soot is formed in huge amounts.

ehsnils Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If I was able to get any of the diesels I play with at work to smoke even the slightest amount it would immediately be turned into a heavy diagnostic session of that vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magrek Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes. I agree bring on the diesel. My parents purchased a CX-5 and love it. They didn't want to wait for the diesel. I would bypass Subaru and buy a Mazda to get a diesel. I would have to think long and hard to own a VW again as much as I love the cars themselves. Dealers are the worst and they get a bit pricey to maintain over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem like you could be a possible customer. It is in good shape. Just a little rust, 238,000 miles, and well maintained. Please don't let the smoke bother you. It has a large turbo and is very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slow to react...on demand. The engine is peppy off the line to about 10 mph.....then an absolute dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloz2 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If Subaru offered a diesel engine in the states that would likely be my next car. My wife is looking at a new impreza sport premium... I'd take that in w/ a 2.0L diesel in a heartbeat!

.Catalyst. Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 With more European auto companies bringing diesels stateside, will Subaru ever bring their models here? Ads for Audi and BMW are frequent lately, and apparently they see the market for it.
