Huh… mine just has a death metal and bleghsed sticker. I still haven’t got a coexist in the mail either. Maybe I need to go to more forests.
A death metal pile-of-twigs "coexist" sticker would be kinda funny.
As the formerly-smug owner of TWO Crosstreks, believe me when I say the smugness dissipates quickly after a few stealership visits....
tl;dr - buy the beige camry
I just bought silver Corolla. Is that good enough?
As a beige Camry haver, my car is 22 years old and runs like a champ. Had to swap out the spark plugs, the cat, battery, tires, and brakes, but that’s expected when the car’s got a moonlength of mileage on it. I love this thing and will drive it until the frame is broken, I’m dead, or the car becomes illegal.
The rotten truth is that Subarus aren't really any more reliable than other vehicles, but uave much more expensive repair costs than comparable Hondas or Toyotas.
also the suspension and steering and acceleration and interior padding is all rough.
Yeah, my crosstrek has some of the stiffest suspension i have ever felt. And their symetrical AWD has always seemed like just a gimmick.

I just spent a weekend in a rented crosstrek. I hated the throttle curve. It's super twitchy at low speeds and lacks power at highway speeds. It made navigating parking lots way more finnicky than necessary.
I own a Forester. It's a car that drives when I press the pedal. I've literally never had an issue navigating a parking lot, and it keeps up just fine on highways.
Did it have a CVT? I hate those damn things...
I think so since it was a 2021 model.
The auto stop-start functionality was also really rough. Overall, it just was not a pleasant driving experience.

Would someone mind explaining what a coexist sticker is to me please?
Lovely. Thank you. :)
Where I live, Subaru is generally a "boy racer" car.
Subarus with hood scoops and Subarus without hood scoops have entirely different connotations.
Hoodscoop gang 😎
Yep Impreza is the boy racer, Outback is a lesbian car.
I'm not making that up Sorry for source, there are plenty of them if you search

I had a Subaru for about 2 weeks when my wife put a local farmers market magnet on my car as a joke. That fucking thing melted to my car and I never got it off. 12 years later, i sold it with that damn farmers market magnet stuck to it.
The Subaru assimilated the sticker. Resistance was futile.

Wild, they must have forgotten to apply it at the factory. They might issue a recall for that
Unless it’s a wrx, then it has the Dane Cook symbol plastered on the back glass
You’re either a coexist-sticker Subaru owner, or a monster-logo-on-everything-including-your-vape-pen Subaru owner. There are no other Subaru owners.
Dane Cook has his own symbol?
This coexist sticker/Subaru stereotype is so annoying. Not all of us have that sticker. Some of us have them as plastic emblems replacing the car's name. Sheesh.
