At the end of day it comes down to preference its all combustion engine anyway and some mabati and plastics to cover it. Something a Vitz does without coughing. Subaru the car,GOOD. Subaru drivers/owners on Kenyan roads,AVERAGE. What's the point of buying a car because it can do 300km/h when you can't handle 160km/h? Bottom line, kila nyani na starehe zake. Those who own Vitz,don't hate on Vx,owners of Subaru, don't hate on Toyotas. Happy driving. Why is it that Subaru owners are always craving for attention? How come this peculiar behavior is only limited to them and we never hear such from BMW owners, Merc owners, VW golf owners, Range rover, Premio, xtrail, Rav4 etc etc? Does this include the Gorvernment?? the police bought the whole subaru family ie imprezas,Foresters and outbacks.

If you find yourself trying to overtake a Subaru just to prove a point then uko na complex issues. Gari ni kama Simu ama Nguo it all depends on your taste and what you are comfortable with.
Btw @Nakujua, last time i checked the Subaru World Rally Team withdrew from the World Rally Championship in 2009, walirudi lini? was getting statistics starting 1954, just to show the dominance or lack thereof over time, for the various car manufactures who have participated in the wrc. but I agree with you, one should get a car they can afford and are comfortable with.

This is one shenz type debate.We cant all have Subarus or Toyos or BMWs....kila nyani na starehe zake. Some look at size,others speed,stability,color,resale value,sound,ability to sup up,fuel consumption.....some even walk or jav. Surely all these cannot be found in one car. Stick to your lane...no need for hating or generalizing on Subaru drivers. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Enough about bashing each other. As @quicksand said, this was just a thread that was meant for Subaru owners to comment as per the title of the thread.
Why buy cheap? I thought you bought the car with knowledge of its cost of running? Buying cheap risks encouraging petty thieves who will come to steal your grills, your mirrors.

Subaru owners are getting too much heat bana. They love their cars full stop. that over enthusiasm display can offend others, blame fuji industries for making cars that generate that kind of love. I think the subaru owners are the victims here always getting bad rep, even the silent outbacks. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Is it that other cars do not need to replace their grill? Is it that other car type owners are more careful and rarely "knock" their cars, hence the low demand for their parts? Or is it that the other car type owners buy new, hence no market for the petty thieves? Maswali nyeti.

Subaru-Grill Wish-side mirrors Nissan B15 or is it B12-lights Merc-The Merc badge etc etc. Very strange though. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Yeah, let me ask inocently and differently: so a thief is attracted to that part, it means somebody is buying. Now the question is, what is wrong with the original part that camewith the car? Did the car come without it? Of course no. So, are the other-car-type owners more careful and rarely "knock" their cars, hence no need to buy another or they buy new and avoid "stolen" ones?

@AlphDoti....I think they are stolen because those particular parts in those cars are easy to pluck off.That is the only reason....it is not that market is more or that some drivers are more "careless". Market is created once they are stolen....If you steal 10 grills....you now have about 7 customers.The other 3 or so will go for brand new. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

 Mboyz! mboyz! mboyz! Test drive a Landcruiser V8 and then maybe, just maybe, we can discuss cars.  "The longer the fuse the mightier the blast!"

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why buy a car and you cannot maintain it? Go to the dealer and buy new, to stop this manace. Congratulation to my fellow Honda owners. So far we try and buy new from the dealers. That's why we still have peace of mind, nobogy is targetting Hondas yet. Please, remember when you got to River road, that's vicious cycle. Resist the temptation.  Talk of choices and consequences. This car is suddenly popular possibly because of its cost. Running costs are a different thing altogether. Never seen a time when had many imprezas like now! Now, they plucked mine yesterday on Kenyatta Avenue, just opposite National Bank. I don't think the cause of this phenomenon is Subaru owners buying fake parts. I think it is the fact that there are many such cars and that this particular part is very easy to pop. It's self supporting thievery. For every single one you pluck you create a customer right there - your victim. That being said, anyone knows where I can buy a new one? Haven't actually asked any further than from my usual mechanic, and he says he doesn't stock them. I hope I can avoid running the risk of indulging the thieves by buying a used one. Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.
