No the Jeep isn’t going to be as reliable as the Toyota.

 

its a ashame they put all these sensors on vehicals now limp mode tire pressure down hill decent traction control lane departure it gos on and on the reason they done it is stupity of the operater its not that vehicals got more advanced it is people has become stupid

 

VW I'll agree with but Subaru is one of the top-ranked brands for reliability. I've had 3, my daughter has one and my step-son has one. None have had any significant problems with a couple hundred thousand miles of use.

 

Subarus have a great AWD system and low center of gravity, and VW at least makes nice-ish cars that handle well, and they have a great warranty. I would feel like I made a good decision if I bought either brand.

Jeep makes vehicles that are about as close as one can legally get to a metal box on wheels. But without the reliability you’d expect of such a simple machine. About all they have going for them is that they look kind of cool.

 

for traction in winter and reliability subarus cant be beat

 

CPS failure would do that too but I don't remember if that was an issue on 17s.

 

The few people I've known with late model Subarus have had nothing but oil consumption problems.

 

And grammar, punctuation and spelling took a nosedive right about the same time...

 

lol because it was getting the shit flogged out of it probably? What gear were you running in OP? Deep snow and high gears=hot trans.

 

I dare you to buy one.

 

CPS definitely caused trail stranding for some. I carried a spare for a while until the recall was issued.

 

Subarus were great until you had to shell out for the head gasket issue. Still wouldn't say no to one. Drive around in Vermont in the winter if you want to see mostly Subarus and Tacomas

 

I had a '01 with the head-gasket issue at 102k but not a single problem until then. Wife now has a '15 and won't drive anything else. They are awesome in snow.

 

My 2013 Subaru crosstrek has been amazing and doesn’t need ANY service outside oil/coolant changes till 100k. Mainly the CVT transmission fluid change. Toyota is now paired with Subaru engines in some cars and have some of the same parts. Subis are awesome and I’d buy another without question. They are the closest thing to Toyota

 

i allways buy the 6 cylinders

 

My Subi tweeters are awesome!

 

You can take it to autozone or wherever to get the codes cleared. If you're still stuck in limp mode, disconnect the battery for 15 minutes or so. That should clear them. Don't drive it if they pop right up again, something else is wrong.

 

Seriously, a Subaru with snow tires is like cheat mode in the winter.

 

Yes. 4H not so much snow as it was ice. 20 -25 MPH. Will get the computer to clear codes. Unhocked battery and they cleared and I got home.

 

What is a CPS?
