Re: Saturn vs Subaru
That would have been a dream come true for me, but when Saturn was closed up, I was left without a decent option for service. The Saturn dealers that I had my best experience with became empty, weedy...

Re: Compliment today
Thanks! Yes and in a year, people are going to be asking why my two year old Subaru is covered with door dings and my 21 year old Saturn still looks perfect. :)
SLfun, interesting. Now that I...

Re: Compliment today
Thanks everyone, for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Good point about that cop maybe being a Saturn owner. I would have asked him, but traffic got going pretty quickly.
I agree that...

I pulled into a crowded event with my '96 and when I stopped next to a cop that was directing traffic, he put his arms out to his sides, got a big grin on his face and said, "Man, that's a...

Yes, but I wish we had many more choices of vehicles with plastic body panels. :)

Re: Saturn vs Subaru
I've seen quite a lot regarding the HG issue. Most of the talk seemed to be about pre 2013 models.
Supposedly, they solved the HG issues when they went to chain driven engines, however, that...

Re: Car forums passwords hacked
When I went to the user CP on the Subaru site, I noticed it was identical to the one here, so I was surprised that SaturnFans wasn't on the list, but I figured I would mention it just in case.

Re: Car forums passwords hacked
You mean I can't use '12345' for all of my sites, including my bank? :p
No, none of mine are the same, but what you mentioned certainly needs to be drummed into people sometimes.

Re: Saturn vs Subaru
Another place where the Outback compares favorably to the L200 at least, is the super easy oil change. I was really happy to see another company designing their engine with the oil filter up on top....

Re: Saturn vs Subaru
Honestly, I haven't really had a chance to test the AWD very much. We thought we'd need it in the snow, but I don't think it has snowed more than an inch or two since we bought it. I love winter and...

Saturn vs Subaru
Haven't been around in a while (lots of life stuff getting in the way). Both our Saturns are getting old and had some troublesome stretches, so we ended up with a new 2015 Subaru Outback and I...

Still, I will check the receipt tomorrow and see what I was actually charged for....

Re: whine/groan from new AC Compressor
I don't know. I do know that those parts weren't changed. There are other things on the receipt, like PAG oil (I have to look at it again).
I didn't inquire about those other parts when the job...

Well, I've already gone back twice and told him it's wrong and that I've never heard a compressor make a noise like this. All he'll do is check the system and say there's nothing wrong. He refuses to...

Re: whine/groan from new AC Compressor
I agree, the noise is not normal. It never made noise before. My S doesn't make noise and neither does our Subaru Outback.
I'm kind of screwed though. He says it's fine, so short of paying...

It's been a long time, but I always like to report follow ups. I 'finally' got the car back to the AC shop yesterday. He heard the noise and agreed it's coming from the compressor (I knew that). He...

Re: Window sill trim removal help?
Hmmm, I didn't think my older model had those screws. I didn't notice any when I started looking into my situation. I'll be putting the door back together today and I'll have a closer look.
