Are you having more problems with your Subaru than you should be? California law protects consumers when they buy a “lemon.” A lemon car is one that the manufacturer has not been able to repair despite a reasonable number of attempts. The law does not specify what is “a reasonable number of attempts.” As a rule of thumb, four repair attempts for the same problem is usually a reasonable number. This is a general rule and may vary depending upon the seriousness of the defect. Just a few of the problems that can occur in a lemon car are illumination of the check engine light, transmission defects, stalling, power lock and window failure, water leaks, paint defects and much more.

The BRZ is the only exception. It was introduced in 2012 by a partnership between Toyota and pairs the boxer engine to rear wheel-drive. Subaru offers turbocharged versions for their passenger cars like the WRX and Legacy, Outback XT and Ascent.
